For salons, barbers & beauty

The salon receptionist who answers while your hands are full.

Your busiest hour is also the hour you can't reach your phone. LexisGrid answers every Instagram DM, web chat, text and call the moment it lands, quotes your real service prices, knows a balayage takes three hours, and books it into the right gap in your live calendar.

The problem

Salon enquiries never arrive at a convenient moment.

They arrive mid-foil, mid-blow-dry, and at 9pm on a Sunday when someone decides they need their hair done before a wedding. Here's where the bookings actually leak out.

The chair always wins

You're mid-colour with gloves on. The phone rings, the DMs stack up, and by the time you look, three people have already booked somewhere else.

Instagram is your front desk now

Most salon enquiries start as a DM, not a call. Nobody's monitoring that inbox at 10pm, and DMs don't leave voicemails you can return.

Durations make booking hard

A cut is 30 minutes. A balayage with toner is closer to four hours. Anyone answering has to know the difference or the day falls apart.

In your words

It knows your service menu like a senior stylist does.

LexisGrid answers from your actual price list and service durations. It won't quote a number you don't charge, won't promise a treatment you don't offer, and won't drop a four-hour colour into a one-hour gap.

Real prices, every time. It quotes from the price list you control — update a colour price at 9am and it's quoting the new one by 9:01.

Correct durations, automatically. Service times come from your settings, so a full colour never gets squeezed into a cut-length gap.

Instagram and Messenger included. Where your clients actually message you, not just the website chat nobody uses.

Colour corrections get flagged. Anything sensitive or complex goes to you with the full conversation attached, not an improvised answer.

What it handles for you

What it handles on a normal Saturday.

Answers the 9pm rush

The wedding-panic message, the "can you fit me in" text, the DM asking about extensions. All answered within seconds, with real availability.

Fills the gaps in your day

A late cancellation leaves an hour open. The next enquiry gets offered it automatically, instead of it sitting empty.

Captures the ones who aren't ready

Not everyone books on the spot. Their name, number and what they asked about lands in your CRM so you can follow up.

Never double-books the colour bowl

It reads the live calendar mid-conversation. Two people cannot book the same slot, because it checks before it offers.

Questions from salon owners

What salon owners ask us.

Can it handle Instagram DMs, not just website chat?
Yes, and for most salons that is the channel that matters most. LexisGrid connects to Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger alongside website chat and SMS, and every conversation lands in the same inbox with the same booking ability.
Does it know how long each service takes?
Yes. You set the duration for every service in your profile, so a four-hour balayage is only offered where four hours are genuinely free. It will not squeeze a colour into a cut-length gap.
What if someone asks about a colour correction or a complaint?
Those get flagged to you rather than answered. LexisGrid is configured to recognise sensitive situations, respond warmly, take the client's number and escalate to your dashboard with the full conversation attached.
Can it take a deposit or hold a card?
LexisGrid books the appointment into your calendar. If your booking system takes deposits, the appointment flows through to it as normal. Payment handling stays with the system you already use.
We change our prices seasonally. Is that a hassle?
No. You edit prices on a settings page yourself and the next customer gets the new answer immediately. No developer, no support ticket, no waiting for us.
