The Challenge
Bliss Salon, a busy neighborhood favorite, struggled to keep up with appointment requests and service questions. Missed messages led to lost clients and empty chairs.
- No instant chat for bookings or FAQs
- Missed appointments after hours
- Manual responses slowed bookings
- Lost repeat business
