Hi, do you have time for a full head of highlights on Saturday?
Full highlights take about 2.5 hours. Sofia can start at 10:00 or 13:30 on Saturday. Which suits you?
10:00 please
Booked with Sofia, Saturday 10:00. I'll send a reminder on Friday.

The problem
Services of very different lengths: nobody knows whether a colour fits the gap that is left.
Sound familiar? This is what a normal week looks like for most hair and beauty salons without help at the front desk.
- 01
Durations nobody can guess
A root touch-up and a full balayage are both "colour", but one takes 45 minutes and the other three hours.
- 02
Hands full, phone ringing
Stylists cannot answer with foils in their hands, so enquiries wait until the client in the chair leaves.
- 03
Gaps that stay empty
Short gaps between long services go unsold because nobody has time to offer them.
How KnoDesk solves it
KnoDesk works out how long the service really takes before booking it.
Three things change from the first day, each handled by a part of KnoDesk you can switch on, tune or hand back to your team.
Answers on WhatsApp and Instagram
Prices, stylists and aftercare questions are answered from your own menu while the team keeps working.
AI chatbotReminders that protect the day
Clients are reminded on the channel they booked on and can reschedule in one tap, so the slot reopens for someone else.
