What you get

More clients booked. Fewer no‑shows. Less time on the phone.

Your AI receptionist turns the calls and texts you already get into appointments that show up.

24/7

Book clients while your hands are full

It answers 24/7, mid-service, after closing and on your day off, and books callers into real openings on your calendar.

Fewer forgotten appointments

Every client it books gets a confirmation text right away and a reminder text 24 hours before the visit.

Win back callers who hang up

Turn on text-back and a caller who hangs up before booking gets one friendly text from your number, with your online booking link and a way to call back.

Clients can text you, too

Texts to your receptionist number get an answer right away. It answers questions and books, in English, and you can step in anytime.

Only real openings, only your answers

It checks your live calendar, repeats the details and says “booked” only after your calendar confirms. It answers from the services, prices and policies you approve, and doesn’t make up the rest.

Every call, in your pocket

Each call lands in your inbox with its outcome, a summary and the transcript, so you know exactly what was booked and who needs a call back.

Do the math

What are missed calls costing you?

Use your own numbers. This is an illustration in listed service value, not profit. It is not a promise of bookings or collected revenue.

Listed service value, not profit.
With these numbers, each month CA$300

About 22 missed calls a month. If 1 in 4 wanted to book, that’s 5 appointments, or CA$3,600 a year in listed service value.

2 bookings a month cover Starter at CA$99

2 bookings × CA$60 = CA$120 in listed service value.

Text messages

Texts that keep your chairs full.

Booking texts go out on their own, from your receptionist’s own number. Clients can reply, and every conversation is in your portal.

  • Confirmation, right after booking

    The day, time and service in writing, so the booking feels real.

  • Reminder the day before

    A reminder goes out 24 hours ahead, so fewer clients forget.

Example texts. Real ones carry your salon’s name, the service and the time.
  • Text-back after a hang-up

    Callers who hang up before booking get one friendly text with your booking link. Never more than once a week per number, and only between 8 AM and 9 PM.

  • Two-way texting

    Clients text back to ask a question, book or request a change. Your receptionist replies in English, and you can take over any conversation.

Booking texts work with the included calendar, Google Calendar, Square Appointments and Wix Bookings. Texts go from your receptionist’s number to North American mobile numbers, and clients can reply STOP at any time. Booking texts and text replies share your plan’s monthly texts: 500 on Starter, 1,000 on Growth, 1,500 on Scale.

When you can’t pick up

Those calls still turn into bookings.

Nail salon

The phone rings mid-manicure.

Nobody puts down a brush. The receptionist answers, checks real openings and books the caller while your team keeps working. The first call becomes the next visit, not a voicemail.

BookedGel manicure · Saturday 2:30 PM Confirmation texted

Spa

After closing, a caller wants a massage.

The receptionist answers questions about services and prices, offers times that are actually open and books the one the caller picks. The appointment is in your calendar before you open.

How it works

Keep your number. Keep your calendar. Add a receptionist.

  1. Tell it about your business

    Add your services, prices, hours and policies, or start from your website. It answers only from what you approve.

  2. Hear it before your clients do

    Set it up free, talk to it yourself and fix any answer. Nothing answers customers until you press Go live.

  3. Forward your calls

    Keep your salon number. Forward every call, or only the calls you’re busy for or can’t answer, so your team still picks up first. Phone coverage begins only after the connection is checked and activated.

Booking somewhere else already? Keep it.

The receptionist works on its own. Start with its included calendar, or connect Google Calendar, Square Appointments or Wix Bookings. No Glownomics Operations subscription needed. Each outside calendar is checked before the receptionist books into it.

FAQ

What owners ask before they switch it on.

Still unsure? Put Glo to the test on the demo line, or email support@glownomics.com.

Does it sound like a robot?

No phone menus and no “press 1”. It holds a natural conversation, answers questions and books, using the greeting you choose. If a caller wants a person, it can transfer the call to you or take a message. The fastest way to judge is a test call with Glo on the demo line.

Can the AI invent an answer or booking?

The receptionist uses your approved business information. When a required answer is unavailable, it should not make one up. It says “booked” only after repeating the details and receiving a reference from the live booking system.

Can I keep my phone number?

Yes. Your phone company forwards calls to your receptionist’s number. Forward every call, or only the calls you’re busy for or can’t answer, so your team still picks up first.

Which texts does it send?

A confirmation right after each booking, a reminder 24 hours before the visit and, if you turn it on, one text to callers who hang up before booking. Texts go from your receptionist’s number to North American mobile numbers, and clients can reply STOP at any time. You can switch each kind of text off in Settings.

When does billing start?

Set up free. Choose a plan when you’re ready. Test your receptionist before you pay. Nothing answers customers until you press Go live. For Owner Pro, the app shows the plan and billing terms before payment.

Does the receptionist stop when my minutes run out?

No. Calls continue and overage is metered by connected seconds: CA$0.69/minute on Starter, CA$0.64 on Growth and CA$0.59 on Scale. Email alerts are sent to the verified sign-in address at 80% and 100%.

Do I need Glownomics Operations to use the receptionist?

No. Owner Pro is CA$49/month for the business, with up to 25 active accounts. The AI receptionist is a separate service from CA$99/month and does not require Owner Pro. It works on its own with its included calendar, or connects Google Calendar, Square Appointments or Wix Bookings once that connection passes its setup check.

Are calls recorded?

Routine calls are not recorded and no audio is kept. Callers hear that the call is transcribed; Glownomics stores the text transcript, a structured outcome and a summary for 30 days so you can follow up.

Is Glownomics only for nail salons?

No. Glownomics is designed for appointment-based services, including hair and nail salons, spas, massage therapists, car detailing and independent professionals. Set up your own services, hours and policies.
