Stop pausing mid-cut to answer the phone.
PorchBell picks up every call, books the right stylist into the right slot, and texts back missed callers. Your hands stay on the chair. $49 a month. No per-minute surprises.
Your chair is your cash register. The phone is your distraction.
Owner-stylists and small shops live and die on chair time. Here's where most of you bleed bookings.
Hands in someone's hair, phone ringing in the back.
Every interrupted cut costs you focus, and every unanswered ring costs you a booking. PorchBell picks up so you stay with your client.
Walk-ins eat your chair time.
Mae checks your real availability and books the next open slot. She knows a balayage takes three hours and a beard trim takes twenty minutes.
Voicemail-then-no-callback is a daily loss.
Most missed callers don't leave a message. Mae has a real conversation and either books them on the spot or texts them back in seconds.
Spanish-speaking clients fall through.
Mae auto-detects English or Spanish on the first hello. No menu, no language barrier, no missed client.
What Mae actually does for you.
Books the right stylist into the right slot
Configure stylists, services, and durations once. Mae offers slots that actually match. She'll never book a balayage into a 30-minute window.
Recognizes returning clients by name
Mae greets your regulars warmly when they call back. Configurable from a subtle nod to a full 'welcome back, Maria.'
Texts back every missed call
Caller hangs up before Mae picks up? They get a friendly SMS in seconds. Most reply within the minute.
Calendar that respects buffer time
Set buffers between appointments per service. Mae won't double-book a chair or cram a color into a no-cleanup window.
Cancellations and reschedules without the call
Customers get a manage-link in their confirmation email. They reschedule themselves, your calendar updates, you find out about it.
Recording disclosure baked in
Every call opens with the mandatory disclosure. Two-party consent compliant in Florida and all 50 states.
Simple, transparent, no contracts.
Cancel anytime. Overage billed at $0.15/min, flat across all plans. No tiered escalation, no surprises.

Common questions.
The objections we hear most on sales calls. Real answers, no hedging.
How fast can I get up and running?
Most businesses are live the same day they sign up. We pick a phone number with you, walk you through your services and hours, and run a test call together. If you want a full white-glove setup, we will do that in person if you are in Brevard County, or by video call anywhere else.
Does it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. Two options: keep your existing number and forward unanswered calls to a new local number we set up, or port your number to us for free. Most businesses keep their existing number on day one. Porting takes about a week and costs nothing.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Your business name, your service list with rough pricing, your hours, and how you want missed calls handled. We bring everything else. You do not need any new hardware, app, or carrier change.
Will she sound like a robot?
No. Mae uses natural conversational speech, handles interruptions, and adapts her tone to the caller. Most people do not realize they are talking to an automated voice unless they are told. We send you a recording of every call so you can hear for yourself.
What happens if she cannot answer a question?
She transfers to your cell, takes a callback request, or does whatever you have told her to do for that scenario. You set the rules in the dashboard. She does not make things up.
