For salons in Chennai (Tamil, English, Telugu speakers)
Bookings, reminders, loyalty, payments — all on the channel your clients already use. Less time on the phone, more bookings, fewer no-shows. Built for Chennai's T. Nagar, Anna Nagar, Adyar, Velachery businesses — works in Tamil, English, Telugu.
Key business hubs: T. Nagar, Anna Nagar, Adyar, Velachery, OMR, Mylapore. Languages: Tamil, English, Telugu, Malayalam.
Tamil-only customers form 60-70% of service business inbound. Generic English-only chat or voice loses these leads to local competitors immediately.
Salon no-shows are the highest in any industry. Bridal, mehendi, party-prep — the sting of a missed slot at peak hours is brutal.
You promised every 10th visit free. The card is somewhere. The customer thinks they're owed something. The receptionist guesses. Margin and goodwill both leak.
When someone cancels at 2pm for a 4pm slot, who tells the next person on the waitlist? Usually no one — the slot just stays empty.
Tamil-first; English used in formal contexts. Hindi penetration low — voice/chat in Tamil non-negotiable.
Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Tamil, English, Telugu and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.
Clients pick their stylist + service. Live slot availability per stylist. The AI handles 'I want Anjali for highlights next Saturday afternoon' as a complete intent.
24-hour and 2-hour reminders go out automatically. If a client cancels, the next person on the waitlist gets a WhatsApp 'slot just opened' nudge — fills the gap in minutes.
Per portfolio data: salon no-show rates drop from ~22% to ~7% with reminders alone.
Auto-tracks visits, services, and spend. Lapsed clients (60+ days since visit) get a gentle WhatsApp win-back with a calibrated offer. 4-7% reactivate per send.
Send a Razorpay/UPI link with the bill. Built-in tip option (10% / 15% / 20% / custom). Auto-generates the GST invoice.
