An AI receptionist for nail salons answers the phone while your technicians work and books manicures, pedicures, gel sets and fills without anyone putting down a brush. When every tech has a client’s hand in theirs, the phone keeps ringing. Voxgard answers in about 0.3 seconds, from open to close and after hours. It knows your service menu, from gel manicures to acrylic fills and spa pedicures, with the prices and times you set, and books into Google Calendar or Calendly. Group bookings for a bridal party or a birthday get every detail read back before they are confirmed. A client can text a photo of the nail art they want by MMS, so the tech can plan the time. It speaks 32 languages, and for clients who prefer them that includes Chinese, Korean and Spanish. Plans start from $249 a month, with a free five-day pilot on your real calls and no credit card.

VoxgardPetal Nail Lounge, how can I help?
CallerCan I book pedicures for four people on Saturday? It’s a bridal shower.
VoxgardCongratulations. I have four chairs together at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Would that work?
CallerYes, perfect.
VoxgardBooked: four spa pedicures, Saturday at 11. What name and number should I use?
CallerNina Walsh, 555-0133.
VoxgardThank you, Nina. A confirmation is on its way. You can text us any design ideas before then.
What it does
for you.
Menu-based booking
Books each service with the time you set for it, so a full set and a polish change do not get the same slot.
Photos by text
Clients can text a picture of the design they want by MMS, and your tech sees it before the appointment.
Group appointments
Books several clients into the same time block and reads every detail back before confirming by text.
It will not take a card over the phone or promise that a tech can match a photo; it books the time and passes the picture to your team to confirm.

Nail Salons:
questions and answers.
Yes. Give each tech a calendar and it books the one the client asks for, or the first free one if they have no preference.
It reads your walk-in policy as you wrote it. It does not see the salon floor, so it cannot promise an exact wait.
It detects the caller’s language from the first phrase and can switch mid-call. Its studio voices include Chinese, Korean and Spanish.
MMS is $0.15 and SMS is $0.05, billed separately and never taken from call minutes.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
Forward your number or port it; nothing to install. Every plan starts with a free five-day pilot on your real calls, no credit card. How the pilot works.
