Appointment requests
Most calls are someone wanting a time. Cadence gets their name, number, the service and when they'd like to come in, and texts you so you can confirm in your own booking app.

AI answering service for salons and barbershops
Mid-cut. Still answering.
You shouldn't have to put down the clippers to pick up the phone. Cadence answers the calls you forward to it, covers the hours, services and prices you approve, gets the caller's name, number and the time they'd like, and texts you a summary the moment the call ends.
Keep your business number. Forward your calls to Cadence.
WHAT YOUR CALLERS ASK
- Do you take walk-ins?
- How much is a men's cut, or color?
- Are you open Sunday?
- Do you have anything Saturday morning?
Cadence answers walk-in, price and hours questions from what you approve. It can't see your book, so for openings it gets the caller's details and the time they'd like, and texts you.
