RingmereHome / Industries / Nail Salons
The AI phone receptionist for nail salons.
Nobody can answer a phone halfway through a gel set, and wet polish and a ringing mobile do not mix. Ringmere answers, asks whether it is a new set, infills or a removal, and books the right length of appointment.
The missed-call problem
Sound familiar?
- Mid-set, gloves on, phone buzzing on the desk
- Infill regulars who drift to another salon after one missed call
- Bookings made for the wrong length, then running over
Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.
How Ringmere helps nail salons
Answer, book, and hand you the rest.
Answers your calls, 24/7
First-ring pickup, evenings and weekends included, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.
Books into your calendar
Checks live availability and books the right service into the right diary, with no double-booking.
Escalates what matters
Urgent, clinical or unhappy callers go to your team immediately, with full context.
It answers messages too: on Growth and Pro, customers can WhatsApp or text your business and the same receptionist replies, books and takes orders.
Call by call
Every call a nail salon gets.
Nail bookings live or die on length: a removal and new set is not an infill. This is what Ringmere does with the calls that come in while every desk is busy.
| The call | What Ringmere does |
|---|---|
| An infill regular, three weeks after her last set | Books infills with her usual tech at a time that tech actually has free, and texts a confirmation if you switch text confirmations on. |
| A new client who wants a full set for a wedding on Saturday | Asks which set and length they want, books the full set’s real duration, and notes the occasion and colour for the tech. |
| “How much is BIAB?” and “do you do pedicures?” | Answered from the price list you approve. If it is not on the list, it says so rather than guessing. |
| A removal of another salon’s work | Booked as a removal, or a removal and new set, using the times you have set for each, so the appointment does not overrun. |
| A broken nail or a lifting set | Booked as a repair if you list one, or passed to you as a message. Questions about soreness or a reaction go to you, never answered by the receptionist. |
| Late, cancelling or moving | Handled on the call within your rules, so the slot is free for the next caller. |
| Calls on a packed Saturday | Answered while every tech is mid-set, and booked into the next free gap. |
An example call
Written to show how a call goes, using sample services and prices; not a recording.
Caller: Hi, I need my nails done before Saturday. Have you got anything on Friday?
Ringmere: Happy to help. Is it a fresh set, infills or a removal?
Caller: Gel infills. I usually see Mai.
Ringmere: Mai has Friday at 1:30pm or 4pm. Gel infills take 60 minutes and are £35. Which would you like?
Caller: Half one, please. Could I have a bit of nail art on two nails?
Ringmere: Simple nail art is £2 a nail, so that’s £39 in total. I’ll add a note for Mai. Can I take your name?
Caller: Chloe Barnes.
Ringmere: Thanks, Chloe. You’re booked with Mai on Friday at 1:30pm for gel infills with nail art on two nails.
