When a hair salon asks us about AI recruiting, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday? We start the build from that answer.

Sector reality
Hair salons need software built around their week, not against it.
- 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 recruiting 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 candidate screening.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for hair salons?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
What's the realistic outcome for hair salons?
Time-to-shortlist drops from 3 weeks to 4 days. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI recruiting stack we reach for is Claude, Vapi, Workable, SEEK API, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
