$35K–$67K
lost per year by salons to missed appointments and unanswered booking calls.
Industry scheduling data
A salon with 25 weekly appointments and a 15% no-show rate loses around $31,000 a year — before counting the booking calls that ring out while every stylist has hands in someone's hair. Clients rebook every 4–8 weeks with whoever makes it easiest.
Estimates, not guarantees. Assumes ~35% of missed callers re-engage via text-back (industry range 30–60%), a conservative 30% close rate on recovered conversations, 20% on revived leads, and BLS OEWS wages with a ~1.43× loaded multiplier for the payroll comparison.
