FAQ
Straight answers.
The receptionist your salon always needed but could never justify. It answers every call, books every appointment, and sends the confirmations, 24/7. No sick days. No salary.
No. It sounds like your best receptionist on their best day: a natural Australian voice, warm and conversational. And it doesn't pretend to be human. If a caller asks, it says so. Most callers just want a time, and they get one in about thirty seconds.
Straight answer: it books into Google Calendar, Cal.com, or a calendar we host for you, with live availability and no double-bookings. Timely and Fresha don't let any outside tool write bookings (nobody can, whatever their site says), so DeskOwl brings its own calendar and it works from day one.
It's not winging it. Before you go live, we load your services, prices, durations, colour-processing gaps and stylist rules ourselves. Done for you, not a wizard. It only offers real availability, and if it doesn't know something, it asks instead of inventing.
DeskOwl answers at 11pm the same as 11am. Bookings land straight in the calendar with an SMS confirmation to the client. Anything it shouldn't handle gets flagged to you, so you wake up to bookings, not voicemails.
It transfers to your team with the full context of the conversation. If nobody's free, it takes a message and notifies you. No one gets left hanging, and there's never dead air.
Solo is $149/month, Studio $249, Salon $399. Every plan has every feature; they differ by minutes and calendars. 7 days and 20 minutes of calls free, no card until you go live, no lock-in. Unused minutes roll over.
Start small: forward your after-hours calls only and keep your main line as it is. If DeskOwl isn't booking clients you'd otherwise have lost, turn the divert off in a minute. We'd rather earn the main line than ask for it.
