WhatsApp for salons & spas

Fewer no-shows. More regulars.

Recoverly is WhatsApp for salons, barbers, spas and nail studios: booking confirmations, a day-before reminder with one-tap Confirm or Reschedule, waitlist offers when a slot frees up, a rebooking nudge when a client is due, and a review request while the blowout still looks perfect. It runs from the number your clients already text.

The problem

Where salon revenue slips away

A salon sells time. An empty slot is gone for good, and most empty out for reasons one message could have fixed.

Last-minute no-shows

A missed 90-minute color appointment means an empty chair, a stylist with nothing to do and a slot another client would have taken.

Booking by DM, between clients

Clients text to book, move or ask prices. Stylists reply with gloves on between appointments, at 10pm, or not at all.

Regulars who quietly drift

A client who comes every five weeks skips one cycle, then books somewhere closer to work. Nobody notices for months.

Booking confirmations & reminders

Confirmation the moment a client books, with stylist, price and cancellation policy. The day before, a reminder with one-tap Confirm and Reschedule; two hours out, a quick heads-up.

How it works →

Waitlist offers for canceled slots

A cancellation goes to the next name on your waitlist: your booking tool or a Zap chooses who, Recoverly sends the one-tap offer, and the answer lands in your inbox.

Rebooking nudge when a client is due

Every service has a rhythm: about 5 weeks for a cut, 3 for gel nails, 8 for color. When your booking tool or a scheduled Zap flags a client as due, Recoverly sends a one-tap rebook message.

Review requests after the visit

Three hours after the appointment, while the result still looks its best, ask for a Google review with a direct link. One ask per visit, never to anyone who opted out.

How it works →

Slow-day promotions

Tuesday afternoons empty? Schedule a same-day offer for 09:00 to clients who opted in to promotions. STOP removes a client for good.

How it works →

AI answers on prices and services

Prices, service lengths, gift cards and “do you do balayage?” answered instantly from your price list and FAQs, in the client's language, with handover to the front desk when needed.

The salon appointment reminder routine, start to finish

A reminder 24 hours before cuts no-shows by about half. The rest of the routine turns cancellations into bookings, and one visit into the next. It takes about ten minutes in appointments, and quiet hours keep messages out of your clients' evenings.

  • At booking. Stylist, price and cancellation policy, in writing.
  • 24 hours before. Confirm or Reschedule. A slot moved a day out can still be sold.
  • On cancellation. The slot goes to the next client on the waitlist.
  • 3 hours after. A review request with a direct Google link.
  • When they're due. A rebooking nudge, only if nothing is booked yet.

FAQ

WhatsApp for salons & spas, asked and answered

Yes. Reminders go out as Meta-approved utility templates from your salon's number, triggered by bookings in your calendar. Clients confirm or reschedule in one tap, and the day-before reminder is linked to roughly 50% fewer no-shows. Details on appointment reminders.
If your booking tool can send a webhook or connect to Zapier, yes, and Calendly and Cal.com work too. Each booking passes the client's name, service, stylist and time into your messages.
Recoverly sends the messages; your booking tool decides who gets them. When a slot opens, it (or a Zapier step reading your waitlist) passes the next client to Recoverly. For rebooking, it flags clients past their usual interval with nothing booked. Replies reach the shared inbox and, with coexistence, the salon phone.
Yes. Spas run the same flows with small changes: a 48-hour reminder for treatments that need preparation, an intake-form link in the confirmation, and AI answers about packages, gift cards and what to bring.
Only to clients who opted in to marketing, through the free chat widget, an opt-in form or a consent line on your booking page. Reminders are different: utility messages about a booking the client made. STOP removes a client for good. More on campaigns.
The chat widget is free. On Lite ($19/month) you get the whole automation builder, the AI assistant and the inbox; promotions and integrations like Zapier come with Pro at $49/month. There are no message caps, and Meta's per-message fees pass through at cost. Web app access is rolling out now: get started or see pricing.

Confirmed today. Rebooked in five weeks.

Connect your salon's WhatsApp number, switch on reminders and rebooking nudges, and let clients manage appointments in one tap.
