Book a haircut or appointment, even when the form won't work
When the online booking needs a local phone number, an agent can just email the business instead.
What the bot does
- Finds salons or providers and reads reviews.
- Shows you options with photos.
- Tries online booking, or writes the business a normal email.
- Confirms the slot with you.
What you end up with
A confirmed appointment without the back-and-forth.
