Where salon bookings slip away

Clients write when they have a free minute. That is rarely when your admin does

  1. Late-night DMs wait until morning

    A client asks about lashes at 11 PM. By 10 AM she has booked with the salon that answered

  2. Admins retype prices all day

    “How much is balayage?” fifty times a week, while the phone rings and walk-ins wait

  3. Quiet clients drift away

    A refill due in three weeks gets no reminder. The slot stays empty and the client goes elsewhere

From Altegio Marketplace to first AI booking in an hour

The numbers behind it

One of our clinics in the UAE: 12 people on the front desk, 23 specialists and 110 price-list variants. Salons have the same questions at a smaller scale

What Yma takes off the front desk

  1. Matches the client to the right specialist

    By service, preference and language

    Replaced: reception checking 23 specialists’ rules

  2. Quotes prices, durations and services

    On request, in the client’s language

    Replaced: lookups across 110 price-list variants

  3. Sends confirmations, no-show and follow-ups

    In the same WhatsApp thread

    Replaced: outreach nobody had time to run

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to leave Altegio?

No. Altegio stays your calendar and client base. Yma connects through its app in Altegio Marketplace and writes bookings into the same calendar your team already uses.

Can I keep my current WhatsApp number?

Yes. Yma connects your existing WhatsApp Business number through Meta. Clients keep writing to the same chat.

What if the AI doesn’t know the answer?

It hands the chat to your admin with a short summary. In suggestion mode nothing is sent until someone taps Accept.

Does it speak Arabic?

Yes. Yma replies in Arabic, English, Hindi and Urdu, and translates every chat for your admins.

How long does setup take?

Most salons connect Altegio and WhatsApp in under an hour. Services, prices and masters import automatically.

What happens after the 30 free days?

You see every booking Yma made in your first 30 days and what it was worth. Pick a plan to continue, or Yma goes back to suggestions only.

Is client data safe?

Yma runs AI in confidential computing environments and is built for UAE health data rules. Client identities are not sent to external AI services.
