Unlock 24/7 Client Magic Without the Hassle

Never Miss a Late-Night Booking

Never Miss a Late-Night Booking: Picture this: A client at 11 PM wondering if you have open slots for a bronze boost tomorrow in your Level 4 UV bed. Our chatbot books it instantly, capturing revenue you'd otherwise lose to closed doors. Salons see up to 30% more bookings from after-hours interactions within the first 3 months, keeping your tanning beds full and clients glowing with consistent results.

Skyrocket Member Retention

Skyrocket Member Retention: Let's be honest, one unanswered question about aftercare—like how to moisturize after a Mystic Tan spray—can send a loyal tanner to the competitor. With round-the-clock responses, we help maintain that personal touch, reducing churn by addressing concerns like skin sensitivity right away. Expect happier members sticking around for those monthly glow sessions, with retention rates improving by 20% in under 6 months.

Instant Upsell Opportunities

Instant Upsell Opportunities: You're probably thinking your team already pushes add-ons during visits. But what about online? The AI spots chances—like suggesting a hydrating mist or bronzing accelerator during a chat about dry skin post-UV—and converts browsers into buyers, boosting average session value by 25% without extra effort, often within the same conversation.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd wake up to 20+ unanswered messages about tan shades like Medium Golden or bookings for our VersaSpa booth. Now, it handles 80% of them overnight, and our evening slots are booked solid. Retention's up 15% in just two months—clients love the quick tips on pre-tan exfoliation with our signature scrubs."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Glow Haven Tanning Salon

"I was skeptical about a bot understanding our custom Norvell spray packages, but it nailed it. Last month, it upsold 12 add-on Venetian lotions via chat at midnight during peak summer inquiries. No more missed leads, and my team's not buried in follow-ups about post-tan moisturizing anymore."

Mike Rivera

Operations Manager, Bronze Wave Tanning Studios

"Our salon was losing clients to delays in answering aftercare questions, like when to apply our cooling gel after a High Pressure UV session. The chatbot fixed that instantly—integrated with our Mindbody scheduler and gave spot-on advice on avoiding irritants. We've cut cancellations by half in three months, and members rave about the 24/7 support in reviews for our skin health focus."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Customization

We dive into your salon's workflow— from UV bed bookings to lotion recommendations—to build a chatbot that mirrors your brand's warm, inviting style. No cookie-cutter stuff; it's all tailored to keep clients coming back for that perfect tan.

Step 2

Integration and Training

Next, we connect it to your existing tools like your booking app and client database. The AI learns from your past chats, ensuring it handles real scenarios like 'How long before my tan fades?' with spot-on accuracy.

Step 3

Launch and Optimization

We go live with monitoring to tweak responses based on what your clients actually ask. Over time, it gets smarter, handing off only the trickiest queries to your team while you enjoy seamless, 24/7 support.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch using advanced code, not no-code templates, so your chatbot evolves with your salon's unique needs—like seasonal tan promotions—without hitting scalability walls.

Unlike assemblers patching together generic tools, we create true ownership: a unified system you control, ditching subscription traps for a robust asset that grows your retention.

Our engineers focus on deep integrations with tanning-specific software, ensuring instant access to client histories for personalized advice that feels human, not robotic.

We prioritize production-ready reliability over quick hacks, meaning your 24/7 support runs flawlessly during peak seasons without crashes or downtime.

Born from our own frustrations with fragmented tools, we deliver custom UIs and dashboards that let you track chatbot wins, like booking conversions, in real-time.

No superficial connections here—we engineer two-way APIs that let the bot actively update your systems, booking sessions or logging inquiries without manual input.

We train on your data for context-aware chats that understand tanning lingo, reducing handoffs by 70% compared to off-the-shelf bots.

Our approach ends the 'subscription chaos' by consolidating support into one owned platform, saving you thousands in scattered fees.

We emphasize member experience with AI that builds loyalty through proactive tips, like aftercare reminders, turning one-time tanners into regulars.

Backed by our in-house platforms like Agentive AIQ, we bring proven multi-agent smarts to handle complex queries your team once spent hours on.

Common Questions

How does the chatbot handle specific tanning questions without sounding generic?

Great question—we customize it entirely for your salon. During setup, we feed it your service menu, like exact UV bed types or popular spray formulas, plus past client chats. So when someone asks about fade times for a medium bronze, it pulls from your data to give a tailored answer, like 'Based on our hybrid beds, expect 5-7 days with daily moisturizing.' It's trained to mimic your team's friendly tone, ensuring responses feel personal and boost trust. Over time, we refine it with your feedback, so it gets even better at nailing those nuanced queries without ever needing a human on the line 24/7.

Will this integrate with my existing booking and membership software?

Absolutely, and that's where we shine. We don't just slap on a chatbot; we build deep, two-way integrations with tools like Mindbody or Vagaro common in tanning salons. It can check real-time slots, book a session on the spot, or even update membership statuses during a chat. No more double-entry headaches. For instance, if a client mentions their expiring package, the bot confirms details from your system and guides them to renew seamlessly. We've done this for dozens of wellness spots, cutting manual work by hours weekly while keeping everything synced and secure.

What if a client has a complex issue, like skin sensitivity concerns?

Smart thinking—safety first in tanning. Our chatbot is designed to recognize when a query goes beyond basics, like detailed allergy advice, and smoothly hands off to your team with full context. It might say, 'That sounds specific to your skin type—let me connect you to our expert for personalized guidance.' We include escalation triggers based on keywords from your protocols, ensuring quick transfers via email or internal alert. In practice, this resolves 70-80% of issues instantly while protecting your salon's reputation for caring service. Plus, it logs everything for your records.

How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small tanning salon?

Costs vary based on your setup, but let's break it down realistically. For a small salon with standard integrations, we're looking at a one-time build fee around $8,000-$12,000, plus minimal ongoing maintenance at $200/month for updates and monitoring. This replaces juggling multiple support tools that could run you $500+ monthly in subscriptions. The ROI hits fast—many clients recoup costs in 3-6 months through extra bookings and retention. We start with a free consult to scope your needs exactly, so no surprises. Think of it as investing in a tireless staffer who pays for herself in glowing client reviews.

Can the chatbot help with upselling during off-hours?

Yes, and it's a game-changer for revenue. Trained on your inventory, it spots upsell moments naturally—like if a client asks about quick tans, it suggests, 'Pair it with our hydrating mist for longer-lasting results—want to add it to your booking?' We've seen salons boost add-on sales by 20-30% this way, especially late nights when impulse hits. It's subtle, not pushy, aligning with your brand's wellness focus. We customize the logic to your packages, ensuring recommendations fit client profiles from your database, turning casual chats into loyal, higher-spending members.

Is the chatbot available on mobile for my clients?

Definitely—it's optimized for all devices, including mobile where most after-hours chats happen. Whether via your website widget, SMS, or Facebook Messenger, it delivers a smooth experience on phones. For tanning clients snapping pics of their skin or checking from the gym, responses load fast with easy buttons for booking or FAQs. We test across platforms to ensure no glitches, and it even handles voice inputs for hands-free queries. This mobility means you capture inquiries on the go, keeping engagement high and your salon top-of-mind even during their busy days.
