Plan the journey from enquiry to attended paid appointments
Budget-model example: 30% of enquiries become attended paid appointments. Replace this input with your tracked conversion rate.
- Attended paid appointments

Respond without disclosing personal preferences or treatment details. Handle dissatisfaction privately and keep discounts, free services and review rewards out of the review process.
Build a repeatable review process
- Ask for honest feedback after a real customer experience.
- Share your review link without rewards or pressure.
- Reply thoughtfully and follow through on concerns.

Google Ads for salons
Separate everyday services from colour consultations and occasion bookings. Match each ad to an available stylist and a relevant booking path. Track attended appointments and collected service revenue, rather than counting every message as a sale. Increase spend only when appointment capacity, delivery costs and paid results support the decision.
How conversion affects collected revenue
Planning model with ₹12,000 monthly spend, ₹200 per enquiry and ₹1,800 collected per customer. Change the inputs to match your business.
| Conversion scenario | Cost per enquiry | Paid conversion | Gross receipts | What to measure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower conversion | ₹200 | 20% | ₹21,600 | Compare receipts with delivery costs, tax and marketing spend. |
| Base case | ₹200 | 30% | ₹32,400 | Compare receipts with delivery costs, tax and marketing spend. |
| Higher conversion | ₹200 | 40% | ₹43,200 | Compare receipts with delivery costs, tax and marketing spend. |

WhatsApp marketing & retention
Ask which service the client wants, their preferred day and whether a consultation is needed. Explain timing, availability and the next confirmation step. Discuss reference images without guaranteeing an identical result. Give the client a clear arrival instruction and a simple way to reschedule through the same conversation.
Haircut enquiry
Thanks for contacting us. Which haircut or styling service would you like, and what day works for you? We’ll confirm an available stylist and appointment time, then share any preparation and arrival details.
Colour consultation
We can help arrange a colour consultation. Please tell us your preferred day and the change you would like to discuss.
Appointment confirmation
Your appointment is confirmed for the agreed service and time. Please use the entrance details shared here.
Return visit
You asked us to remind you about your next visit. Would you like us to check a convenient appointment with your preferred stylist? Reply with a day that works, or let us know if you would prefer no further reminders.
Get the customer’s consent before sending offers, respect opt-outs, and use approved WhatsApp Business templates for promotional messages.
When salon clients search: the yearly calendar
With permission, organise reminders around the service actually completed: a trim, colour upkeep or a booked event consultation. Let clients choose a convenient return date rather than imposing a universal schedule. Keep useful aftercare separate from promotional offers, and stop marketing messages when a client opts out.
Everyday hair-care checklist
Hair care tips for all seasons
Share stylist-approved care steps and link to the services actually available. Invite a relevant consultation instead of promising a universal solution for every hair type.
Trim and maintenance reminder
Benefits of regular trims
Explain how a client can discuss a return date with their stylist. Offer a simple appointment path for people who have agreed to receive relevant reminders.
Scalp questions and referral
Importance of scalp health
Keep the post factual and cosmetic in scope. Explain when a stylist can advise on product use and when a client should seek qualified medical advice.
Colour portfolio update
Latest hair color trends
Show current, permissioned colour work with honest lighting. Explain consultation and upkeep, and direct enquiries to an assessment rather than a guaranteed transformation.
Workday styling ideas
Everyday hairstyles for busy people
Demonstrate practical styles from actual salon work and explain appointment options. Make the content useful for clients comparing everyday styling rather than relying on generic trend claims.
Frizz-care conversation
Tips for managing frizz
Share product-use and styling guidance approved by the team. Explain relevant services and invite clients to discuss their routine, without presenting a single treatment as suitable for everyone.

Rules every unisex salon should follow
Present styling results honestly and obtain permission for client images. Explain suitability checks for chemical services and follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Keep qualifications and product claims factual. Do not turn cosmetic services into medical promises or use edited before-and-after photographs that misrepresent the work.

OWNER VOICES
What business owners say about Grexa.
How Grexa has brought real business growth for our customers in their own words.
Frequently asked questions
What should a first-time salon visitor see?
Show real work, the service menu, stylist roles, opening hours and booking steps. Explain consultation requirements for complex services.
Should each stylist have a separate Google profile?
Start with the eligible salon profile and follow Google’s practitioner eligibility rules for any additional profile. Avoid duplicate listings for the same business or separate profiles created solely to target haircut and colour keywords.
How can colour enquiries become useful bookings?
Ask about the requested change, preferred appointment time and consultation needs. Arrange a stylist assessment and explain preparation.
Which salon photos are most useful?
Use current cuts, colour results, styling stations and a recognisable entrance. Get client permission and keep lighting honest.
What should a reminder say?
Refer to the client’s chosen return date or relevant aftercare, offer a convenient next step and respect messaging permission. A useful reminder is specific to the service, rather than repeatedly sending every offer to the entire client list.
How should a salon handle an unhappy review?
Acknowledge the concern calmly and offer a private contact route. Discuss the service record privately, without exposing client details or demanding removal of the review.
What is the best booking metric to track?
Track confirmed appointments, attended visits and collected service revenue separately. Note cancellations, stylist capacity and delivery costs.
How can Grexa help a salon team?
Use the GBP AI Agent for accurate discovery information, the WhatsApp Chat Agent for approved booking answers and the WhatsApp Marketing Agent for relevant return reminders. Stylists remain responsible for consultation, service suitability and the work delivered.
