AI chatbots is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ hair salon, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

The hair salons reality
What we keep hearing from NZ hair salons.
- Salons run on a fully booked chair, and every gap in the calendar is revenue that doesn't come back.
- Rebooking, no-show follow-ups, and client reminders are what keep a salon's calendar full without constant manual chasing.
How we build AI chatbots for hair salons.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a hair salon business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI customer support.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI chatbots take to ship for hair salons?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real hair salons data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Has this actually shipped for a real hair salon?
Yes. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI chatbots into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
