PhoneTender
Built for nail salons

The AI receptionist that answers while every tech's hands are full.

In a nail salon the phone never stops — and neither do your techs. Nobody can pick up mid-manicure, so callers hang up and try the next place. PhoneTender answers every call 24/7, books the right technician for the right service, and texts a confirmation. On your existing number, fully managed for you.

Nobody in a nail salon can answer the phone

Every hand in the building is working on a client. The phone rings through lunch rushes and full books, goes to no one, and that walk-in-turned-caller books somewhere else. Multiply that by every ring, every day.

Constant ringing, zero free hands

Manicures, pedicures, fills — there's no moment to grab the phone. The AI never has that problem.

Walk-in traffic you can't call back

Nail clients decide last-minute. If no one answers now, they're already down the block. The AI books them on the spot.

Requested techs, kept straight

Regulars want their tech. The AI asks by name and books into that technician's own calendar.

Every service, the right slot

Gel, acrylic, a full set, a pedicure — each books the correct time so your day doesn't jam up.

How it works

  1. The phone rings and every tech is working. The call forwards to your AI receptionist automatically — including nights and days you're closed.
  2. It answers warmly and gets the details. Which service, which technician, and the day and time they want.
  3. It books the right tech for the right service. Checks real availability, blocks the correct time for a pedicure vs. a fill, and never double-books.
  4. The client gets a confirmation text. Booked — and not one tech had to stop mid-set.

Turn fresh sets into 5-star reviews

Add the Review Funnel and, minutes after each appointment, we automatically text that client a one-tap Google review link — right when they're admiring their nails. A $49.99/mo add-on, no setup fee. See how it works →

Common questions

How does an AI receptionist work for a nail salon?

When your techs are mid-manicure or the salon is closed, calls forward to your PhoneTender AI receptionist. It answers in a natural voice, asks which service and technician the caller wants and when, checks availability, books the appointment, and texts a confirmation.

Can clients request a specific nail tech?

Yes. The AI asks if they have a preferred technician. If they name one, it books into that tech's own calendar and won't double-book them; otherwise it takes the next available opening for the service requested.

Does it know the different services, like gel or a pedicure?

Yes. Each service — gel, acrylic, fill, pedicure, full set — can carry its own time and details, so the AI books the right length and asks the right questions for what the client wants.

Does it work on my salon's existing number?

Yes. You keep your current number and forward the calls you can't answer to your AI receptionist, so clients dial the same number they already know.

Can I hear it before signing up?
