Challenge

As one of the largest salons in the region, Salon D receives a significant number of calls every day. During peak hours and beyond closing time, handling this volume consistently became increasingly difficult.

Even after the salon closed, clients continued calling to book, reschedule, or check availability. With no staff available after hours, many high-intent calls were simply missed.

Salon D uses Mindbody software for online scheduling, yet many clients still preferred calling, especially after hours. This was common for same-day, next-day, or urgent appointment requests where speaking felt faster and more reassuring.

Ardem Keshishian, owner of Salon D realized that missed after-hours calls directly translated into lost revenue. To scale without adding staff, Salon D needed a smart, reliable solution that could answer calls and book appointments automatically anytime the salon was closed.

 
After-hours Problem

Solution

To address the growing volume of after-hours calls, Salon D chose BookingBee.ai as its AI receptionist for after-hours.

BookingBee.ai was configured specifically for Salon D’s operations and connected directly to Mindbody software, allowing the AI to step in automatically once the front desk closed for the day. This ensured that late-night and early-morning callers could still book appointments without waiting for business hours.

With BookingBee.ai in place, the salon’s AI receptionist now:

  • Answers every incoming call after hours with no delay

  • Converts high-intent callers into confirmed bookings

  • Handles reschedules and cancellations without staff involvement

The implementation was completed without disrupting Salon D’s daily operations, and the salon began capturing new bookings from calls that previously went unanswered, turning after-hours demand into measurable revenue.
