How Kikai works

Get Kikai

  1. Tell us about your salon

    Services, prices, team, opening hours and the rules your desk works to.

  2. We build your receptionist

    It answers in your salon’s name and knows only what you’ve told it.

  3. Forward your number

    Clients ring the number they already have. One line of code adds chat to your site.

  4. Watch the diary fill

    Bookings land in your diary, messages in Callbacks, every call as one line.

One diary. On the desk and in your pocket.

Bookings Kikai takes appear the moment they’re made, wherever your team is looking.

Hear it handle the awkward ones

Real situations from a salon phone. It asks rather than guesses, and it never makes things up.

  • “Do you do balayage?”

    Not on the price list, so it says so and offers highlights instead.

    Enquiry

  • “Can I speak to Sam?”

    Never transfers. Takes a proper message for Sam.

    Left a message

  • “Can I book a blow dry?”

    Asks: a wash and blow dry, or just a blow dry?

    Booked

  • “I’m pregnant. Is the colour safe?”

    That’s one for the stylist. Takes a callback.

    Left a message

  • “Am I talking to a real person?”

    Says no, plainly, then keeps helping.

    Booked

One plan. Everything in it.

Questions

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You forward your existing number to Kikai. Clients ring the number they already know.

What happens when it doesn’t know the answer?

It says so and takes a message for a callback. It only quotes what’s in your settings: prices, hours, team and your own FAQs.

Can it really book appointments?

Yes, straight into your Kikai diary, following your hours, who does what, skin tests and no double-booking.

Are calls recorded?

No. Each call is kept as one line: who rang, when, how long and what happened.

Will callers know it’s not a person?

It doesn’t announce itself, but if anyone asks, it says plainly that it’s the salon’s automated receptionist, then carries on helping.

Is there a setup fee?

Yes, a one-off fee. We build your receptionist on your price list, team and rules, test it with you, and you’re live in about a week.

Never miss a booking again.
