Sample conversation
Hiya, any space tomorrow for a gel infill?
Ideally with Jess
Hi Sophie! Jess is fully booked tomorrow, but you're first on the waiting list in case something opens up.
If you're in a rush, she has Friday at 17:30. A gel infill is €30, or €35 with nail art on two nails.
Ok put me on the list, otherwise Friday
Tomorrow at 12:00 with Jess just opened up! Want it? It's a €5 deposit to confirm.
Yesss paid 💅
The problem
Busy hands can't answer WhatsApp booking requests
While you're doing a gel polish or a lash set, your phone keeps buzzing. You reply between clients, late and in a hurry, and every last-minute cancellation becomes an empty slot.
- Clients who message in the evening and book with whichever salon replies first.
- Cancellations two hours before that nobody manages to offer to someone else.
- A waiting list in your phone notes that's never checked in time.
- Bookings without a deposit that turn into Saturday-morning no-shows.

In plain terms: what a WhatsApp chatbot for beauty and nail salons is
It's an AI agent that handles your salon's WhatsApp using your information: services, prices, duration, technicians and opening hours. It manages nail salon appointments on WhatsApp and online booking for your beauty salon, takes the deposit for a manicure or lash appointment via a payment link, sends reminders and manages the waiting list when someone cancels.
It doesn't replace your team or decide for you. If a client has a reaction, a complaint or asks for something outside your menu, the conversation goes to someone in the salon with the full history.
You set the tone, prices and rules (for example, how much deposit to take or the cancellation notice). You can read every conversation in the dashboard and reply yourself whenever you want.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
From €49/month on the Starter plan (1 business, 2 agents and 2,000 messages). Annual billing saves 20%.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days free, no card required and no lock-in.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. Connect it by scanning a QR code in 2 minutes, or through the official Meta API if you prefer.
How does the waiting list work?
Clients who can't find a slot join the list. When there's a cancellation, the agent offers the slot in order until someone accepts, and takes the deposit if you've turned it on.
Will clients notice it's AI?
It writes short messages, groups messages sent in a row and shows «typing…». If you want it to introduce itself as an assistant, you can set that.
What if it doesn't know the answer?
It says so naturally and hands the chat to someone in the salon, with full context in the dashboard.
Can a chatbot book appointments in my nail salon?
Yes. You tell it who does nails, who does lashes and how long each service takes, and it books in its own calendar or Google Calendar with the right technician and the right amount of time.
How can WhatsApp reminders reduce no-shows?
The agent sends a WhatsApp reminder 24 hours before each appointment, and the client can confirm or let you know she can't make it in the same chat. If she cancels, the slot goes to your waiting list. Taking a deposit on long services helps too.
What about GDPR?
AkkaSignal is built by Akkaia Consulting, a Spanish company based in Granada. Data is processed under GDPR.
Can it take a deposit for a manicure appointment?
Yes. Before confirming, it sends a Stripe, PayPal or Redsys payment link in the chat. You decide which services need a deposit and how much.
