Appointment business guide

Salon and spa booking that runs while you're with a client

3 min read·Ontario

You can't step away from a colour or a facial to answer the front desk. Ringly texts the missed caller, offers your real open times, and books the appointment, so a full chair never turns into a missed booking.

Why salons & spas lose jobs to a missed call

Your hands are full, literally

Mid-service you can't pick up. Ringly answers instantly and books the next client instead of sending them to a competitor with an open line.

Bookings come in after hours too

People book their hair and nails in the evening. Ringly texts back and fills tomorrow's schedule while you're closed.

Only offers times you actually have

Ringly reads your live calendar and never double-books, so two clients don't show up for the same chair.

The calls Ringly books for you

Ringly handles the calls you actually get (hair, colour, facials, nails, waxing, lashes, massage add-ons), texting each caller back and booking the ones worth your time.

How Ringly works

  1. Choose how calls reach Ringly. Use a new Ringly number, or keep your existing number and forward missed calls to Ringly.
  2. Ringly texts the missed caller. Within seconds it identifies your business, qualifies the job, and answers questions, fully automated.
  3. It books into your calendar. The agent checks real availability, confirms the details, and drops the appointment into Google Calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Can it book specific services and stylists?

Ringly captures what the client wants and books into your real availability. Notification and booking rules are set per business at setup so it fits how your salon runs.

Will it double-book my chairs?

No. Ringly only ever offers times that are genuinely open in your Google Calendar, so you won't get two clients in the same slot.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. Use a new Ringly number, or keep your existing business number and forward unanswered calls to your Ringly number. A new number is the fastest way to start.

Is it compliant with Canadian texting rules?

Yes. Every message is CASL-compliant: it identifies your business by name and includes STOP opt-out language, and opt-outs are tracked automatically in your dashboard.

What does it cost?

A 14-day free trial with no credit card required, then $297/month CAD. It's month-to-month, cancel anytime, no long-term contract.
