Book a call

Your hands are in someone’s hair. The phone won’t stop.

Penstock answers while you work, cuts the no-shows, fills the empty chairs and brings regulars back before they wander off to someone new. For hair salons, barbers, nail, lash and beauty studios and spas in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver.

A normal day behind the chair.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

The same day, with Penstock.

Same five moments. The chair stayed full.

FRESH

Loving her cut.

  1. YOU TICKED THIS

    Foils in, gloves on, phone ringing. Again.

    Answered on the second ring. A cut and colour booked into Saturday’s open slot, and the deposit link sent.

    Call answering
    TEXTED TO KAREN, AS YOU

    Hi Karen, you’re booked for a cut and colour with Jess on Saturday at 11. Here’s the link for your deposit. See you then!

  2. YOU TICKED THIS

    Your 1 o’clock balayage. No-show, no text.

    She got a reminder the day before and moved it to next week. The slot went to your waitlist and was filled by noon.

    Reminders & waitlist
    TEXTED TO ROSA, FROM THE WAITLIST

    Hi Rosa, a 1 PM just opened up with Jess today. Want it? Just let us know.

  3. YOU TICKED THIS

    Booking requests in texts, voicemails and DMs. You answer between clients.

    Every request got the same quick reply: your real openings and a booking link. They picked. You didn’t have to.

    CRM & systems setup
    TEXTED TO ROSA, AS YOU

    Hi Rosa! Here are my openings next week, and the link to grab one. Can’t wait to see you.

  4. YOU TICKED THIS

    A regular who came every six weeks. You haven’t seen her since spring.

    At week five she got a note from you with two open times. She took the Thursday.

    Client reactivation
    TEXTED TO HANNAH, AS YOU

    Hi Hannah, it’s Jess! It’s been about six weeks. Want me to save you a spot? I’ve got Thursday at 4 or Saturday at 10.

  5. YOU TICKED THIS

    Confirming next week, and answering tomorrow’s “running late!” texts.

    Confirmations went out on their own, the “running late” texts got a friendly reply within your rules, and today’s clients got a thank-you. You watched your show.

    TEXTED TO ROSA, AS YOU

    No problem, Rosa! Jess can still fit you in if you’re here by 2:15. Drive safe.

Same day. Full book. Feet up.

Book a call

The people, businesses and messages here are made up, to show the idea. Yours are written with you, in your words, and you approve them before anything goes out.

Every regular, on a loop.

What happens around one client, without you picking up the phone.

  1. BOOKED

    Confirmed, deposit taken if you use them, and your cancellation policy in plain words.

  2. DAY BEFORE

    A reminder, with an easy way to move it instead of skipping it.

  3. SAME DAY

    A thank-you, and a review request if they loved it.

  4. JUST BEFORE THEY’RE DUE

    A note from you with two open times, before they wander.

  5. A GAP OPENS

    Offered to your waitlist, filled without a single call.

What it won’t do.

Honest limits, so nothing surprises you or your clients.

  • Won’t book what you don’t do

    It only offers your services, your times and your prices.

  • Won’t double-book your chair

    It books from your real calendar, and keeps the time you block for yourself.

  • Won’t promise a colour result

    Questions about what’s possible come to you, with their photos.

  • Won’t get pushy

    Reminders and check-ins sound like you, and stop when they answer.

  • Won’t pretend to know

    When it isn’t sure, it says so, takes a message and tells you.

  • Won’t make you switch booking apps

    It works with the one you already use.

Everything else, it handles. Anything it shouldn’t, it hands to you.

  1. One call, on your day off if you like.

    Twenty minutes on how bookings, calls, deposits and reminders work today.

  2. First fixes live in under 48 hours.

    Usually calls and reminders first. You read every message before it goes live.

  3. I keep it running.

    Every month: bookings, no-shows, who’s due back, and what to change.

Questions, answered.

Can it take deposits?

Yes, if you want them. Deposits can be part of booking, with your own cancellation policy spelled out in the message.

Can it fill last-minute cancellations?

Yes. When a spot opens, it texts your waitlist, and the first to say yes gets it.

What if a client wants to talk to me?

It takes a message and texts you, or puts the call through when you’re between clients.

Does it work with my booking app?

It works with your current setup, or a new system if yours is holding you back.

How much of my time does setup take?

About an hour, all in. A 20-minute call, a few logins, and a quick read of the messages before they go live.

See what you could take off your plate.

Book a 20-minute call. You'll leave knowing where time and money slip away, and what's worth automating first, whether you work with us or not. If we go ahead, your first fixes are usually live within 48 hours.

I set up every system myself, and I'm who you'll talk to on the call. Twenty minutes, no pitch deck, no pressure.
