Where clients actually write

Many people would sooner send a quick message than ring a salon. The messages come in during treatments, in the evening and on Sundays. They ask about availability, about patch tests, about whether a treatment suits them, about changing an appointment.

The directory lists one beauty salon and one hairdresser (10 October 2026). Whatever the size, the owner is usually the person holding the phone and the scissors.

The shape of a good reply

  1. Quick. A first reply that confirms the message was received.
  2. Specific. It answers the question asked.
  3. Moves forward. It offers real appointment times.
  4. Patient. A gentle follow-up if there is no answer, then it stops.
  5. Clear on handover. Questions about suitability for a treatment, skin reactions or medical history go to a person.

What reminders do

A reminder the day before cuts the empty chair caused by forgetting. A confirmation after booking saves a "did that go through?" message. Both are routine, and both are on the list of things his website says the service sends.

Where the line is

An agent should not advise on a skin reaction or judge whether a treatment is safe for someone. It should say a member of the team will reply, and make sure one does.

Setting it up

Dean Keating builds AI agents that work on WhatsApp, email and web enquiries. He installs them in the tools you already use. The jobs on his website include replying to new enquiries within minutes day or night, following up every lead until they book or say no, putting bookings into the diary, and sending updates, confirmations and reminders.

The steps are a free call, an audit, the build and install, and then training and support. He starts with the one task that matters most.

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, so it is done remotely. His site says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby.

No price list is published; it follows the free call.
