## What is InStep?

InStep is the AI receptionist for barbers, hairstylists, nail pros, and beauty professionals. It answers client texts, books and reschedules appointments, fills open time, and remembers the details that make every regular feel known. All day, in your voice.

In tune with you. In step with your clients.

BOOK CLIENTS AROUND THE CLOCK

Clients text one number. InStep replies, checks your real availability, and helps them find a time that works.

Whether you are working, off the clock, or asleep, your front desk keeps moving.

KEEP YOUR CALENDAR FULL

When an appointment is cancelled, InStep helps fill the opening by reaching out to clients who may be ready to come in.

When the calendar slows down, InStep can follow up naturally, without sounding pushy or promotional.

BRING CLIENTS BACK

InStep remembers each client's visit history and usual rhythm.

When someone looks due to return, InStep reaches out with a simple, familiar message and helps them get back on the calendar.

No mass blasts. No awkward sales texts. Just timely follow-up that feels personal.

HANDLE THE BACK-AND-FORTH

InStep manages booking questions, confirmations, reminders, cancellations, and rescheduling across many client conversations at once.

You stay focused on your craft while InStep handles the admin around it.

KNOW WHAT INSTEP HANDLED

See today's earnings, expected revenue, appointments completed, and the bookings InStep helped recover.

Your dashboard shows what is next, what has already been handled, and what still needs your attention.

REMEMBER EVERY CLIENT

Build a client book with visit history, preferences, upcoming appointments, and relationship details in one place.

InStep remembers the routine so you can stay present with the person in front of you.

STAY IN CONTROL

You can step into any conversation at any time.

When a request needs your judgment, such as changing a price, approving an exception, or handling something unusual, InStep brings it to you instead of guessing.
