What happens when a client calls and your hands are in someone else's hair.
- 01
Answers in the first second
You're holding scissors or a nail brush. Onist picks up on the salon's number and says in its first sentence that it is the AI assistant.
- It answers in the evening, when clients make plans, and on Sundays.
- It talks naturally, and the client can interrupt it at any time.
- 02
Asks what it needs to
Which service the client wants, how long her hair is when price and time depend on it, which day and what time suits her. It notes it all so you know who's coming.
- It knows colour on long hair takes longer than a brow shape.
- It doesn't quote prices you didn't give it or promise how the colour will turn out.
- 03
Finds a free slot
It looks for a time when someone on your team who does that service is free, for as long as you set for that service.
- Works with the in-app calendar or with Google Calendar.
- It never books two clients with the same person at the same time.
- 04
Confirms by SMS
It repeats the time, service and name before hanging up. The client then gets a confirmation SMS with the day and time.
- The booking shows up in your calendar straight away.
- Move or cancel it in the app and the client gets an SMS with the new time.
- 05
Messages you on WhatsApp
After the call you get a summary: who called, what for and what's left to do.
- Anything without a fixed price, from colour corrections to bridal hair, comes to you with the client's number.
- No more calling back numbers you don't recognise.
Everything you need on the phone, without hiring someone for the front desk.
Tell it what you do
Your services, how long each one takes, the fixed price if you have one, and options by hair length. Onist books only from your list.
Hear it before you pay
Call from your browser and ask for a test booking, just like a client.
A voice that doesn't sound like a robot
Andrei speaks Romanian, keeps natural pauses and stops when you interrupt him. If the client switches language, so does he.
Every call, step by step
The app keeps the transcript and summary of every call: what the client asked for, what Onist offered and what got booked.
- full colour · 0:12“Medium, down to my shoulders.”
- offers 17:00 · 0:31“We're full at 4. I can fit you in at 17:00 or at 18:30.”
- confirmed · 0:48“See you tomorrow at 17:00. I've sent you a confirmation SMS.”
Works with what you already use
Bookings go into the in-app calendar or Google Calendar. Summaries arrive on WhatsApp, confirmations go out by SMS.
It doesn't make things up
It doesn't quote prices you didn't give it or promise how the colour will turn out. A correction or a balayage with no fixed price comes to you as a request, with the client's number.
How much is a colour correction? My hair went orange.
The stylist sets the price once she's seen your hair. I'll pass her your request and number, and she'll call you today.
No made-up pricesKeep your number
Clients still call the number they know. You choose whether Onist takes every call or only the ones you don't pick up, and you can stop any time.
Online booking

You set it up yourself, in a few minutes.
No install, no technician. You keep the number your clients know, you just forward it. If you can post a photo on Instagram, you can set up Onist.

Why pay 4,500 lei/month to miss no calls?
Rough comparison with the monthly cost of a full-time receptionist in Romania. Onist answers the phone and books. For the price of a coffee a day.
Before the holidays and in wedding season, the phone doesn't stop.
You can start pay-per-call with no subscription, and the first 5 calls are free. If Onist only takes the calls you don't pick up, you only pay for those. When the phone rings a lot, a plan makes each call cheaper.
Every option, pay-per-call included, comes with automatic booking and a summary and transcript of every call. The receptionist speaks Romanian and 90+ other languages.
Past the bundle: €0.60 a call + VAT, on the same invoice. Included calls do not roll over.
A call counts only when the customer actually talked with Onist. Missed calls, wrong numbers, and spam don't count. Confirmation SMS included.
