Illustrative example. Mill Lane Hair is fictional. This is not a testimonial and not a named customer.
The shop
A four-chair salon on a village lane. They close at 18:00 Tuesday to Saturday.
Who still arrives after hours
A new client planning a wedding party look.
They ask: "Do you do balayage, and can I book a consultation Saturday?"
What the desk can answer
- Services, stylists, and published price bands.
- How consultations work and cancellation notes from the site.
- A hold on the consultation book for the owner to confirm.
What you open to in the morning
A Night Desk card - on Growth and Scale - looks like this:
- Name: Aisha Khan
- Call: 020 7946 0888
- They said: Balayage consult, Saturday, wedding in June
If Google Calendar is connected, the same request can sit as a hold for your team to confirm.
Why this matches the product
Beauty books are a queue. A name and a photo-request in the inbox beats a vanished DM.
What we will not claim
It does not take a card deposit or manage a full chair diary. WhatsApp and Arabic are still out of scope.
