Who in Prague sets up an AI receptionist for a beauty salon — and why an unfinished course costs the most

Opora AI sets up a done-for-you AI receptionist for beauty and aesthetics salons in Prague and Brno. It answers clients in Czech on Instagram, WhatsApp and SMS, keeps track of the treatment courses in progress, reminds people about the next session and brings back the ones who stopped coming. Live in 7 days, from CZK 2,900 per month plus setup from CZK 9,990. Operated by Karen Yezzhev, IČO 23170883, Praha 7.

Aesthetics has one quirk a hair salon does not, and it is where the money leaks out quietly.

A course of five to ten sessions

Mesotherapy, chemical peels, laser, deep cleansing: almost none of it is a one-off. The client buys a series and the result only shows up at the end of it. But the gap between sessions is two to four weeks, and that gap is where the whole thing breaks.

One session gets skipped, then a holiday, then a bout of flu, and a month is gone. Three months later she writes to ask whether the course can still be finished, or she never writes at all. Meanwhile the salon has lost the rest of the package and the follow-up that was meant to come after it.

What the AI receptionist does in a beauty salon

The line the agent will not cross in aesthetics

It does not answer medical questions. Contraindications, skin reactions, mixing treatments with medication, pregnancy: all of that goes to you and nothing gets made up. In aesthetics a wrong answer costs more than no answer, and a client keeps the screenshot of that chat for a long time.

Nothing goes out without you either. For the first month the system runs in draft mode: it writes the text, you approve it in Telegram, edit it or throw it away.

The language that holds up the replies

Plenty of beauty salons in Prague are run by a Ukrainian or Russian-speaking owner while the clients write in Czech. Explaining a treatment properly in a foreign language is slow and awkward work, so the evening messages sit there until morning.

Here the system writes the client flawless Czech and explains everything to you in Ukrainian or Russian. More in the guide on AI for Ukrainian and Russian-speaking business owners in Czechia.

What it costs

From CZK 2,900 a month for the first five businesses (normally CZK 4,900) plus setup from CZK 9,990, with no per-minute rates. A comparison with the other providers is in the comparison of AI receptionists in Czechia, and the full price breakdown is in the guide on how much an AI agent costs in Czechia.

The first step is a free audit of your database: an export without phone numbers or emails is enough, just name, service and date. If it does not show at least CZK 20,000 of potential, we will say so and part ways.

Common questions

Do I have to switch my booking system?

No. The system works on top of Reservio, Noona, Altegio, Fresha and even a paper diary.

Will the AI answer a question about contraindications?

No, and that is deliberate. Medical questions go to you. It only covers prices, session length, preparation and aftercare, following your rules.

How much of my time will this eat at the start?

About an hour: the price list, the tone, the rules. Setup, testing and the monthly tuning are our job.

Does the AI pick up the phone as well?

Yes, as an add-on at CZK 500 to 1,500 a month. You can try the voice right here in the chat on this page, with the microphone button.

Does it book clients itself, or does it only answer?

It books. A client writes on Instagram, WhatsApp or SMS, the AI works out which service they want, offers the open slots and writes the booking straight into Reservio, Noona, Altegio or Fresha. The day before it sends a reminder, so fewer people fail to turn up. If the slot doesn't suit, it offers the next free one itself.
