AI assistant for nail studios: bookings via WhatsApp and Instagram

Customers send a DM on Instagram or a message for gel nails, lashes or a facial. Slimbot puts all messages in one inbox, schedules the treatment with the correct duration, saves the example photos with the appointment and sends the reminder.

Sound familiar?

Less back-and-forth messaging, fewer no-shows.

Without Slimbot

  • Message back and forth about appointments until a time suits
  • No-shows because nobody sends a reminder
  • Calendar, messages and customer data in three places

With Slimbot

  • Customers request an appointment via chat, WhatsApp or your site
  • Confirmation and reminder from your own number
  • Appointment, conversation and customer card in one overview
In practice

What comes in at nail studios & beauty — and what Slimbot does

  1. "Do you have space on Saturday for a new set of gel?"

    Offer available slots with the right duration.

  2. "What does refilling cost and what does a new set cost?"

    Reply from your own price list.

  3. "Can I get this design? (photo)"

    The photo is added to the conversation; you decide whether it fits the time and price.

  4. "I'm running late, 10 minutes."

    Notification directly in your inbox.

  5. "Do you also have a gift voucher?"

    Answer from your own information or a referral to you.

Ask a question as a customer of a nail studio & beauty salon

Choose a question and see how the assistant responds. These are pre-written example answers (not live AI). In your own account, the assistant bases itself on your own data, and you decide whether an answer goes automatically or for approval first.

How it works

Get started in three steps

From sign-up to working channel. You keep your own number.

1

Connect WhatsApp and Instagram

Your business account and number.

2

Enter your treatments

With price, duration and what you do or don't do for your customers.

3

Let the assistant schedule

First proposals that you approve, later independently for routine bookings.

Features

What you get

Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.

Instagram and WhatsApp together

DMs and messages in the same inbox, so no booking gets lost between apps.

Treatment duration per appointment

New set, infill or removal: each treatment with its own duration and break in the calendar.

Example photos with the appointment

A design a customer likes is added to her appointment and customer card. So you know in advance what's coming.

Reminders with preparation

One day in advance from your own number, asking to cancel if needed and possibly how the customer is travelling.

Reviews after treatment

A short request for a Google review or Instagram tag.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with Instagram DMs?
Yes, if you connect your business Instagram, DMs come into the same inbox as WhatsApp and e-mail.
Can I approve everything myself first?
Yes. Start with drafts and let the assistant handle routine bookings itself later.
Can customers send an example photo?
Yes, via WhatsApp or Instagram. The photo is with the conversation and the customer card.
Does the assistant give advice on skin treatments?
No. Questions about skin or allergies go to you; the assistant only answers what you have written yourself.
Is it also a till system?
No, till and stock remain in your own system. You can send a payment link, though.
Does it work for one person?
Yes, even if you work alone. You start with a free account without a credit card; the current monthly amounts are on the pricing page.
