Hair Salons + Timely
The AI receptionist for hair salons that writes straight into Timely.
A new colour client searching at lunch hour goes to whichever salon picks up first.
How it works
Foan plugs into Timely 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 hair salons miss calls.
Mid-colour, hair foils on, you can't pick up. The caller rings the salon two doors down.
It's Tuesday lunchtime. Someone has a wedding on Saturday and her roots are showing. She opens Google, types "colour salon near me", and starts calling.
Your salon is the first one she tries. You're mid-foils on another client. You can't get to the phone. She tries the next salon. They answer. They book her in for Friday at 2pm. £180.
You found out the next morning when you saw the missed call. By then she'd already been recommended to a friend.
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 Timely automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever Timely 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 £49/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for hair salons using Timely?
Yes. Mid-colour, hair foils on, you can't pick up. The caller rings the salon two doors down. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a hair salon would ask, and writes the outcome into your Timely automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + Timely 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 £49/mo. Everything ends up in Timely 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 Timely?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect Timely via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
