# SalonSquad > SalonSquad is an AI front desk for hair salons, barbershops, braiders and home studios. A squad of five named AI assistants answers Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, website chat and text messages, answers missed phone calls (inbound only), books clients on Square, refills cancellations from a waitlist, posts the salon's own work with client consent, replies to Google reviews, rebooks regulars, and sends a weekly recap verified against Square. Owners approve what matters from their phone. Clients always know they are talking to an AI assistant. Key facts: - Main assistant: owners name it (example: "Nia"). Helpers: Content, Client Care, Growth, Briefing. Owners can rename all of them or use one assistant for everything. - Booking system: Square (Appointments). Direct booking needs Square Appointments Plus or Premium; on the free plan the assistant sends the booking link. Vagaro, GlossGenius and Booksy are on the roadmap. - Phone: answers inbound calls only, after a set number of rings or after hours, with natural voices from ElevenLabs. It never makes outbound calls. - Results: booking and revenue numbers are verified in Square; estimates are labeled. - The Circle: an invite-only network of salons with verified data for playbooks and client referrals (client consent required). - Pricing: Solo $129/mo, Squad $249/mo, Salon $449/mo; 14-day free trial; no contract. - Market: launching in South Florida. ## Product - [Features](https://salonsquad.app/features.html): Messages, phone answering, booking, content, reviews, client care, insights and controls.
