Hair Salons

Text the next color booking before they ghost

Color clients book with whoever texts first. AI grows the list, texts each regular on their own cadence — four weeks or six — and writes the midweek campaign you approve once.

Sound familiar?

Balayage and color clients ghost for months, then book with whoever texts first.
Midweek chairs sit empty while weekends are slammed — and no one has time to write a promo.
Walk-ins leave without joining a list, so there's no one to text when it's slow.

How Waveship handles it

Grow the list. Secure the booking. Fill the slow days.

01

Grow the text list

QR, keyword, tap-to-join — everyone who walks into your salon joins the list.

02

Let AI secure the next booking

AI texts the next visit before they drift. Personalized replies close it. You approve.

03

Prove the return visits

See which texts brought the visits back.

Works with what you already use

Keep your booking system.

Waveship never asks you to switch — it reads your calendar to time messages automatically, and runs the texts it doesn't — it already sends reminders. Common in hair salons:

We read these to time messages

Square Appointments

Works alongside these — keep them for booking, we run the marketing

Questions

For hair salons

Do I have to switch off Vagaro or GlossGenius?
No. Waveship reads your existing calendar to time the texts — it never replaces your booking system. Your scheduler can keep sending reminders; we run the list and the marketing.
Will it text clients who never agreed to it?
Never. Every contact opts in provably, and every send passes a consent + quiet-hours check before it leaves.
What do I actually have to do?
Approve the playbook once. After that, each regular gets a text when they're due — a four-week cut and a six-week cut don't share a send time. Promo campaigns you still approve once before they go out.
Will every client get the same rebook text on the same day?
No. Waveship watches how often each person actually comes in. Someone on a four-week cut gets the nudge at four weeks; someone on six gets it at six. Same voice you approved — their clock.
