Booking calls go to voicemail
A prospect ready to book injectables or a color service calls mid-treatment, gets voicemail, and books with the spa across town.
For med spas, aesthetic clinics & salons
AI automation for med spas & salons: capture bookings and secure deposits.
When your front desk is with a client, booking calls go unanswered — and an appointment booked without a deposit can still no-show. Cognautic can configure AI phone coverage for agreed hours, offer approved services and slots through supported booking APIs, request provider-approved deposits, and run consent-aware membership and rebooking follow-up, with human handoff.
Scoped booking lanes. Supported integrations. Customer-owned client records.
The empty-column math
A client ready to book walks to the spa across town the moment they hit voicemail.
A missed booking call and a no-deposit no-show both leave a provider idle in a fully paid-for column. We start by measuring your actual missed-call, deposit, and no-show baseline rather than assuming every call would have booked.
The old way
No-deposit no-shows
An appointment booked without a deposit is an appointment that can quietly vanish, leaving a provider idle and the column unfilled.
Memberships lapse quietly
Members who stop rebooking slip away because nobody at the desk has time to check in on them.
Calls and DMs pile up
The phone, texts, and social DMs all come in at once, and the front desk cannot catch them all during a full column.
What we build for med spas & salons
Configured booking coverage, deposit capture, and membership follow-up.
We start with the biggest measured leak — often missed booking calls and no-deposit no-shows — then connect memberships, reminders, and reviews into one system you watch from a single screen.
AI booking receptionist
Handles approved service, pricing, and availability questions, captures the client and requested service, and offers supported booking or human handoff. It does not give medical or clinical advice.
Deposits & secure payment
For supported setups, it can request a provider-approved deposit or send a secure hosted payment link before confirming; it never collects raw card details outside an approved flow.
Booking into your platform
Approved appointments can be created in the connected booking system after service, provider, and conflict behavior are tested.
Membership follow-up
Eligible members can enter a bounded, consent-aware follow-up program; replies and suppression status determine whether a human receives a task.
Reminders & no-show rescue
Consent-aware confirmations and reminders can support attendance; open slots can be offered to eligible waitlist clients under your rules.
Neutral review & rebooking prompts
After a completed visit, every eligible client gets the same neutral review request. A separate support path captures issues without filtering who can leave a public review.
The agent in action
It books like your best front-desk coordinator — deposit and all.
We configure the agent from your service menu, providers, pricing, deposit rules, and scheduling policy. It handles the routine booking calls and follows the deposit and confirmation flow; clinical questions and anything outside scope go to your team.
Knows your menu
Injectables, facials, laser, color, cuts — it asks the approved questions for the service in front of it.
Applies your deposit rules
Requests the configured deposit or payment through a provider-approved flow before the slot is confirmed.
Escalates the clinical calls
A medical question, a reaction concern, a complex package — those go to a human with the call summarized.
Works with your stack
It books into the software your spa or salon already runs on.
Where supported access is available, the agent and workflows can connect to your existing booking platform without replacing it.

Med spa & salon AI automation FAQs
It uses an approved brand voice and stays within the configured booking lane. We design disclosure and recording notices around the applicable rules and your policy; callers should not be misled where disclosure is required. Clinical or out-of-scope calls are handed off or captured for human review.
For supported booking and payment setups, it can request a provider-approved deposit or send a secure hosted payment link before confirming the slot. Availability depends on your booking and payment configuration; the agent should not collect raw card details outside an approved flow.
When your account plan and API expose the required booking, availability, and payment actions, we configure a named, tested connection. We verify the fields, test accepted and rejected writes, and keep the platform as the source of truth. Unsupported actions need a different handoff path.
Eligible members and past clients enter bounded, consent-aware sequences with opt-out, quiet hours, suppression, and human-review rules. Delivery timing still depends on the connected messaging providers, so we report observed outcomes rather than promising a universal contact rate.
Customer-owned booking, payment, and client records stay in your accounts. Recording, retention, and export options follow the selected providers and consent settings. Any medical or clinic information is handled under your policy. Cognautic-hosted runtime may stop when service ends, so the written exit plan identifies what remains and what must migrate.
