The 9pm DM
Someone found you on Instagram after dinner and asked for a Saturday appointment. Nobody saw it until Tuesday. By then she had booked somewhere that replied.
AI front desk for salons & day spas
Never lose a booking
to an unanswered message.
Altrix is an AI front desk for hair salons and day spas. It answers Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, SMS and website chat in seconds — quoting your real prices, matching each guest to the right artist, and writing the appointment into the calendar you already use.
Live on a working salon · replies in 2–6s
Built and run by a small team in India, on US hours. The pilot salon’s name stays off this page until launch — the live demo is the proof instead.

Where the money leaves
Three small leaks.
One expensive month.
“How much is a balayage?”
The most common question you get is also the slowest to answer, because the person who knows is holding foils with both hands.
The chair that sat empty
No reminder, no follow-up, no rebooking message. A no-show costs the same as a closed day, one hour at a time.
Put a number on it. A Saturday colour appointment is $180 on the working salon’s own menu. Two of those missed a month is $4,320 a year; Altrix starts at $149 a month. That is the entire argument — the arithmetic is yours to check, not a statistic we invented.
What it does
A receptionist that never leaves the desk.
One assistant across every channel your guests already use. It speaks in your brand’s voice, answers only from your menu and policies, and hands over to a human the moment something is unusual.
See how a conversation runs →- Instagram WhatsApp SMS Web One conversation history per guest, whichever door they came through.
- Your real menu and pricesStarting prices, add-ons, duration, deposits. It quotes what you quote, or says it will confirm.
- Service → artist matchingBalayage to a colourist, a bob to a cutter, extensions to a consultation.
- Live availability and bookingReads the calendar, offers real slots, writes the appointment back.
- Reminders and rebookingWhere your platform doesn’t already send them: 24-hour confirmations, post-visit check-ins, and a nudge before the grow-out does.

Who you’re buying from
A named team, not a support portal.
The big platforms sell you a license and a login, then leave you to configure it, staff it and notice when it breaks. We are not that. Altrix Co is run by Kowsik from Visakhapatnam, India — the same person who installs the front desk, tunes it on your real conversations, and answers when something breaks.
Running on a real chair, not a sandbox. The system on this page answers for a working salon: real prices, real artists, real calendar. When it gets something wrong we see it on a real guest, and we fix it there first.
The accounts stay yours. Your Instagram, your WhatsApp number, your calendar, your transcripts. If you ever leave, they stay with you and we hand over the setup notes. No hostage data, no export fee.
You message a person, not a portal. There is no ticket queue between you and the work: a price change, a new artist, a rule you forgot to tell us. Say it once and it is in.
India is 9½ to 13½ hours ahead of the US, so what arrives overnight is read before your first appointment sits down. No US office, no account managers, no commission — which is why the fee is flat. Message Kowsik directly at hello@altrixcosystem.com or @altrixco_agency.
Read the honest version, including where we are →Questions owners actually ask
Straight answers.
Does it replace my booking system?
No. It books into the system you already run — Cal.com today, Google Calendar next. Where a platform won’t let an outside system write, it sends your own booking link with the service pre-picked instead. You keep your system, records and deposits either way. The system-by-system list is here.
Will it sound like a robot?
It writes short, human sentences in your tone, and says so if you ask whether it is a person. When it does not know, it hands over.
What if it gets something wrong?
Complaints, refunds, anything outside your menu and any request for a human come straight to you with the transcript. It does not guess at policy.
Aren’t there already tools that do this?
Yes — and most of it is phone-first software you configure yourself. We cover the door they skip: the 11pm DM, the WhatsApp question, the website chat nobody is watching. Where we sit next to them.
