AI receptionist for a hair salon in Prague and Brno — no more lost bookings

Hands in dye, a client in the chair, the phone ringing and three unread "any slots on Saturday?" messages sitting in Instagram. Sound familiar? A hair salon doesn't lose money because it cuts badly — it loses money because at the busiest moment there is nobody to answer. That is exactly the hole an AI receptionist closes.

Who does AI reception for hair salons in Prague

Opora AI (opora-ai.cz, Prague) provides an AI receptionist for hair salons and barbershops in Prague and Brno as a done-for-you service: set up in 7 days, looked after monthly, from CZK 2,900 per month plus setup from CZK 9,990. There are other routes on the Czech market — the self-serve bots Jarabot and Vokaro, or Daktela's voice solution for large operations; you can see them side by side in the comparison of AI receptionists in Czechia.

How many bookings slip through your fingers

Industry estimates from public studies of salon tools are blunt: around a third of contact attempts at peak time go unanswered, and a large share of bookings are attempted in the evening after closing, when nobody replies. Take an average ticket of CZK 850 — and count what every girl costs you who wrote, waited an hour and booked elsewhere. Three of those a week is over CZK 10,000 a month.

What the AI receptionist does — and pointedly does not

• Replies within a minute to messages from Instagram, WhatsApp and SMS — using your price list and your rules, in the language the client wrote in.
• Offers slots and leads to a booking — it works on top of your existing system (Reservio, Noona, Fresha, Altegio), nothing needs to change.
• Sends reminders 48 and 3 hours ahead and immediately offers freed-up slots to the waiting list — here is exactly how.
• Wins back "dormant" clients with a personal message (name, last service, an open slot — no discounts, no mass blasts): the breakdown with numbers.
• Sends nothing on its own. Every message appears in your Telegram as a draft: you tap "send", edit it, or bin it. Your name, your rules, your control.
• Doesn't pretend to be human. It introduces itself as AI — which, from 2 August 2026, the law requires anyway.

Messaging first, phone as an add-on

In hair salons most bookings today start with a message, not a call — so we build the receptionist messaging-first: Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS. A voice line (AI answering the phone) can be added as a module, but honestly: the biggest leak is unanswered messages and vanished clients, and that is where the investment pays back fastest.

A day with an AI receptionist

You, meanwhile, were finishing your evening tea. One tap — and a booking that would have walked off to a competitor by morning is yours.

What it costs

The first five businesses get the founding plan: CZK 2,900 per month + CZK 9,990 setup (regular TEAM is CZK 4,900/mo, setup 19,900). That includes three AI agents of your choice, monthly care and all AI costs — no per-minute rates, no extra subscriptions.
