Your Salon's 24/7 AI Receptionist
Every missed call is a missed booking. Cora answers every call, text, and message instantly — day or night, weekday or weekend. She books appointments, answers questions, and never puts anyone on hold.
The Real Cost of Missed Calls
A salon with 3 stylists misses an average of 15-25 calls per week. At an average ticket of $85, that's $1,275-$2,125 in potential lost revenue every single week. And 85% of callers who reach voicemail will never call back — they'll book with a competitor instead.

Cora eliminates this problem entirely. Every call gets answered instantly, every inquiry gets handled, and every potential booking gets captured — whether it's 10 AM on a Tuesday or 11 PM on a Sunday.
