The AI-native business platform for your beauty business.

BukaTime runs your calendar, booking page, reminders and waitlist as one system — and the AI receptionist is part of it, answering the texts your clients send with real openings from your own book. You set how far it goes, on a dial with three stops: drafts you approve, answering on its own, or running the whole chat. It opens on the one where nothing sends without you. Move it the day you’re ready, move it back the same afternoon.

14 days free, no credit card. It starts out asking your permission for everything.

The BukaTime calendar on a busy day: every stylist with a column of booked appointments.

For independent artists and small studios — lash, brow, nails, hair — from one chair to your third location.

Thirteen texts before your first client sits down.

A Friday ask at midnight, a price question at 2am, a reschedule at seven. Every one is a booking waiting to happen — and every one waits until you have a free hand.

With BukaTime: the reply is drafted before you look, the booking is on your calendar, and the reminder is already scheduled.

AI receptionist · add-on, $30/mo per location

She texts at 8:47pm. The reply is written before you look.

  • It reads your real book — services, hours, openings, your policies — and offers only what is actually free.
  • It drafts, you approve — until you move the dial below. Every stop is reversible, same day.
  • When it doesn’t know, it stops and asks you — and remembers your answer for next time.

Every conversation lives in your inbox, and you can always reply yourself. For the clients already on your books — the ones who text you most.

A client thread in BukaTime: Maya Brooks asks at 8:47 PM to move her haircut to Thursday morning, the thread is marked reply ready to send, and below it the drafted reply waits with the service, staff member Sarah Bennett, the old time struck through and the new one, a Reject this draft link and the send button.
Her text, and the reply waiting on you. Press send and the move happens; reject it and nothing does.

You choose how far it goes.

One dial in your settings, three stops. Nobody is asked to trust it on day one — it opens on the first stop, and you move it when it has earned the next.

It writes every reply and waits. Nothing reaches a client, and nothing in your calendar moves, without you pressing send.

Suggest: Rita asks to move her Friday lash appointment to the morning, and a drafted reply — saying there are no morning openings and offering the two real afternoon times there are — waits to be sent.
It checked the book and found no morning openings that Friday, so it drafted the two real times there are. Nothing goes out until you press send.
Suggest: a client asks for a blowout on Thursday morning, and a drafted reply asking which blowout — Standard at $55 or With Treatment at $80 — waits to be sent.
It caught what was missing — which blowout, at which price — and drafted the question for you.
Suggest: a client cancels his Friday haircut, and a drafted reply waits to be sent with the visit — service, staff member and time — attached to it.
Written up with the visit attached, so you can see exactly what would be freed. Your send is what frees it.
Suggest: a client asks the price of a full set of classic lashes, and the drafted answer — $150, about two hours — waits to be sent.
Answered off your own price list — $150, about two hours. Still yours to send.
Semi-auto: the same Friday reschedule request, with the same answer worked out but the reply still held for approval.
Held. It has the answer ready, but a booked visit is not touched without your yes.
Semi-auto: the same blowout request, with the question about which blowout drafted and held for approval.
Held. It worked out what it still needs to ask; creating a visit waits for your yes.
Semi-auto: the client's cancellation, already handled — a Cancellation receipt showing the freed visit, and a reply the assistant sent itself.
Done without you. Cancelled, confirmed, and the slot is back in the book.
Semi-auto: the client's price question, already answered by the assistant on its own.
Answered without you, in the time it took to read it.
Full auto: the same reschedule request, with the assistant's answer already sent and a banner showing it is waiting on her reply until tomorrow evening.
It sent the answer itself and is now waiting on her. Nobody on your side touched it.
Full auto: the blowout request, with the question about which blowout already sent and a banner showing the two options it offered and how long it will wait.
It asked the one thing it needed — which blowout — and sent it unattended. It books when she picks.
Full auto: the cancellation, processed and confirmed by the assistant on its own, with the Cancellation receipt showing the freed visit.
Cancelled and confirmed on its own. The waitlist sees the gap immediately.
Full auto: the price question, answered by the assistant on its own.
Answered. Nothing reached your phone.

It never guesses. When a client leaves out the part it needs — which blowout, what time — it asks her, not you. And anything it cannot answer from your book stops and waits for you, full auto included. Every stop on the dial is reversible, same day.

Everything between “do you have Friday?” and “see you Thursday.”

Four things that run themselves, all on the same book the AI reads.

A booking link that lives in your bio

  • Share the link, or embed the page on your own site
  • Clients book, move and cancel themselves — no app to download
  • No marketplace, no commission. Your clients stay yours.

Cancellations that refill themselves

  • The waitlist sees the gap the moment it opens
  • It offers the slot to the next client in line
  • Included from your first chair

Reminders you can prove arrived

  • Delivery confirmed by the carrier, not just “sent”
  • One-tap “I’m coming” confirmations
  • Quiet hours respected, in your studio’s timezone

The whole desk in one screen

  • Drag-and-drop calendar, per staff member
  • One thread per client, texts and email together
  • Installable on your phone, with push

Every price, on this page.

No quote forms, no sales calls, and no cut of your bookings — ever. You pay per chair, each one cheaper than the last, and the AI receptionist is one flat add-on per location, never per chair. A second and a third location work exactly the same way — you add them yourself, pay per chair, and take the add-ons you want at each one.

Start free — 14 days

Totals are for your whole location, not per chair. Adding a location is self-serve, and it prices from this same slider: per chair from the first-chair price, with its own AI add-on only if you want one there. Nothing is held back for a sales call — the only things outside this total are applicable taxes and an SMS pack if you outgrow your pooled texts.
