Beauticians + Phorest
The AI receptionist for beauticians that writes straight into Phorest.
New clients searching "lash technician near me" call three salons. The first to answer wins them.
How it works
Foan plugs into Phorest so every call becomes structured data in the system you already use. No re-typing, no copy-paste, no "I'll add it later."
Why beauticians miss calls.
You're mid-treatment. The caller wants to know if you do lash extensions and what they cost.
It's a Wednesday morning. Someone's just decided she wants lash extensions for her birthday on Saturday. She's never had them done before. She types "lash technician near me" into her phone and starts at the top of the list.
You're mid-treatment, hands full of glue, magnifying lamp on. Your phone goes to voicemail. She doesn't leave one. She rings the next salon. They pick up. The treatment is £80, the infill every three weeks is another £45. Over a year that's £700 to whichever salon answers first.
Foan picks up while you're working. Asks what treatment she's after, whether she's had it before, what day suits her. Books the consultation, sends her your prep notes by text, and drops the appointment into Fresha or Booksy.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into Phorest automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever Phorest expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £199/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for beauticians using Phorest?
Yes. You're mid-treatment. The caller wants to know if you do lash extensions and what they cost. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a beautician would ask, and writes the outcome into your Phorest automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + Phorest compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £199/mo. Everything ends up in Phorest the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with Phorest?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect Phorest via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
