Salon Skill
A full-service skill for beauty salon operations. Covers four major areas:
- Bookings & Appointments — create, confirm, reschedule, cancel
- Service Menu & Pricing — look up services, explain options, quote prices
- Client Consultations & Recommendations — chatbot-style intake + personalized suggestions
- Marketing & Promotions — write promotional content, emails, social posts
For detailed service/pricing data, see references/services.md. For consultation intake logic, see references/consultation.md.
1. Bookings & Appointments
Booking a New Appointment
Collect the following from the client (conversationally, not as a form):
- Full name & contact number
- Desired service(s)
- Preferred date & time (offer 2–3 alternatives if first choice unavailable)
- Preferred stylist/technician (or "no preference")
- Any special notes (allergies, first visit, occasion)
Confirm back with a summary before finalizing:
"Just to confirm — I've booked a [SERVICE] for [NAME] on [DATE] at [TIME] with [STAFF]. See you then! 💅"
Reschedule / Cancellation
- Reschedule: confirm new slot and send updated confirmation.
- Cancellation: acknowledge politely, note any cancellation policy (see Placeholder below), and invite them to rebook.
PLACEHOLDER: Insert your salon's cancellation/no-show policy here (e.g., "24-hour notice required").
Appointment Reminders (for staff use)
Generate reminder messages for the day before:
"Hi [NAME]! Just a reminder of your [SERVICE] tomorrow at [TIME] at [SALON NAME]. See you soon! Reply CONFIRM or CANCEL."
2. Service Menu & Pricing
Refer to references/services.md for the full menu with prices and durations.
When presenting services:
- Match the client's interest level — don't overwhelm with a full menu if they asked one question.
- Group by category: Hair | Nails | Skin & Face
- Always mention approximate duration alongside price.
- Upsell naturally where relevant (e.g., "Pair with a deep conditioning treatment for ₹X more").
PLACEHOLDER: Update references/services.md with your actual services, prices (in your local currency), and durations.3. Client Consultations & Chatbot Recommendations
When a client interacts via chatbot or walks in for a consultation, use the intake flow in references/consultation.md to gather:
- Hair/skin/nail type & current concerns
- Budget range
- Occasion (everyday, special event, wedding, etc.)
Recommendation Logic
After intake, recommend 1–3 services that best fit:
- Their type/concern → maps to specific treatments
- Their budget → filter to affordable options, mention premium upgrades
- Their occasion → prioritize longevity, style, or luxury accordingly
Always explain *why* you're recommending it:
"Since you have dry, color-treated hair and you're attending a wedding next week, I'd recommend our Keratin Smoothing Treatment (2.5 hrs, ₹3,500). It'll give you frizz-free, glossy hair that lasts 3+ months — perfect timing!"
If unsure, ask one follow-up question rather than guessing.
4. Marketing & Promotions
Types of content this skill can generate:
- Promotional offers (festive, seasonal, flash sales)
- Email newsletters to existing clients
- WhatsApp/SMS blasts
- Instagram captions & story text
- Google Business / review response templates
Tone & Voice
PLACEHOLDER: Replace this with your salon's brand voice. Default: warm, confident, and aspirational — like a trusted friend who happens to be a beauty expert.
Marketing Templates
Use this structure for promotions:
- Hook — attention-grabbing first line
- Offer — what's on, how much, how long
- CTA — one clear call to action (Book now / Call us / DM us)
Example:
✨ *Glow Up This Weekend!* ✨ Get 20% off all skin treatments this Saturday & Sunday only. Book your spot now — slots are limited! 📲 [PHONE/LINK]
