An aesthetics provider mid-treatment, gloved hands on a client's face; a phone lit up on the counter, ignored
For medspas & aesthetics clinics

Three providers mid-treatment. She's explaining your menu.

Three providers, two rooms, a long menu with a price for each. Stella answers every call, explains treatments and prices from your own catalogue, books protocol-length appointments into real rooms and providers, reminds and reschedules — and never promises a result.

Lumen Aesthetics, this is Stella — how can I help you today?
The problem

The question is always the same. Somebody has to be free to answer it.

  1. 01“What's the difference between the two facials?” — asked while every provider's hands are on a client's face.
  2. 02A protocol treatment blocks the room for an hour while the provider's hands are needed for half of it.
  3. 03Every provider's price list is slightly different. The phone quote is a guess.

It's not that you need software. Someone has to pick up, know your menu cold, and quote it right without over-promising.

A call, while your hands are busy

Thursday, 3:20. Two rooms running. A caller wants to understand your facials.

Stella explains from your catalogue, quotes the right price, and books — without ever saying which is “best for your skin.”

What she does, all day

Everything a good front desk does — plus she knows your menu cold.

The universal six, and two that matter when the menu is long and the promises must be short.

01

Answers every call, like a person would

No menus, no “press one”, no hold music, no disclaimer wall. Place, first name, how can I help — in one breath. Then she listens instead of interrogating. And she's there at 7:40 in the morning and 9 at night — when the parent thinks of it, not when you open.

“Good morning, this is Stella — how can I help?”
02

Books into the real book

She searches actual availability — who is where, doing what, for how long, in which chair or room — and never double-books. If she offers 2:20, 2:20 is free.

03

Reminds, and takes the reschedule call

Reminders go out ahead of time. When someone can't make it, she handles the flustered call with warmth and finds the next time without drama.

04

Fills the late cancellation

A cancelled four o'clock is the one slot you can't sell tomorrow. The moment it frees, she offers it — by text — to the people who've said they'd take short notice, who wanted earlier, or who owe a make-up. First yes takes it; nobody else hears about it.

“A 4:00 with Mr. Ellis just opened — want it?”
05

Tightens your day

A four o'clock cancels? She asks the five o'clock if they'd like to come earlier. Nobody is obliged, and it cascades — you finish at five, not six.

“The four's opened up — would you rather come at four?”
06

Learns each client, gently

Someone turns down a 9am; she stops leading with mornings for them. Preferences, never rules — and when she checks, she uses very few words.

“Mornings tough? I'll avoid them.”
07

Explains the menu, quotes it right

Descriptions, lengths and prices come from your catalogue — with per-provider price overrides where you have them. She'll explain the difference between two treatments in your words and never invent one.

“The signature is seventy-five minutes and $150; the deep-cleanse is fifty and $95.”
08

Never over-promises

She won't say what's right for someone's skin or what a treatment will achieve. When a caller isn't sure, she offers the consult — that's the provider's conversation, not hers.

Last-minute cancellations

A cancellation is not a hole. It's an offer to the next person — the same morning.

She takes the cancellation the moment it comes, whatever the hour — nobody waits for the desk to open. Runway is money: the earlier she knows, the more people she can offer the slot to once your outbound hours open, and the likelier it fills. Your policy — notice period, deposit, fee — is yours; she states it plainly, applies it the same way every time, and stays kind about it.

  • The freed slot goes to the people most likely to say yes: the short-notice list, the waitlist, make-ups owed, anyone who said “earlier if you can”.
  • First yes takes it. The others hear “taken” — never who, never why.
  • The make-up lands in a slot that would otherwise have gone empty; the freed slot earns today.
  • Your policy is applied the same way every time; the tone stays warm — especially to a parent with a sick child.
  • Outbound only inside your hours: she'll take a 7:40 text the instant it arrives and start offering the slot when your day opens — never before.
  • You see it on the panel — freed, offered, filled. Nothing to do.

Everyone on the short-notice list asked to be on it. Nobody is nagged; nobody hears another client's business.

And when it's your side

One sentence into the mic. She does the phoning.

The autoclave failed, a provider off sick, a laser out for service — the whole block moves, and it's your call, not the client's. You say it once; she works out who's affected, offers each client the right alternative in their own words, waives the fee, logs the reason, and reports back. When it's an overrun rather than a closure she works by who can still act: the clients who haven't left home yet get the call and the choice; the ones already in the waiting room get the real ETA; nobody further out is touched unless the delay keeps growing. Nobody hears why; nobody rings the desk.

The autoclave failed. Nothing with instruments today — move those to Friday and Saturday, keep the consults, and don't say why.

Customer time ≠ provider time

A facial is a recipe, not an hour.

Cleanse and exfoliate, mask and LED, massage and finish. The room is taken the whole time; the provider's hands for the first and last part. Stella books the way you work — so the mask becomes a consult slot for the next client.

  • Every service is phases: hands-on, hands-free, room held or not.
  • Provider conflicts check only hands-on time; room conflicts check the whole visit.
  • Rooms are a pool with a quantity — she never lets three treatments need two rooms.
  • Prices per provider are an override on the same service, so the phone quote is the real one.

The menu should be explained perfectly, every time, by someone who never says “trust me, it works.”

For your team

Treatment rooms stay quiet.

A panel at the front desk: who's next, which room, what changed. One button to say “move Bea to two.” Product reps and scam calls never make it to the floor.

Now10:41Park Row
  • Hannah booked Sat 11:30 with Nadia — new client
  • Chloe confirmed 4:00 by text
  • A skincare rep and two robocalls handled. Nothing for you.
“Hold room 1 from three — the LED unit's being serviced.”
  • A panel, not an appan always-on screen at the desk that answers one question in five seconds: who's next, for whom, and has anything changed? Everyone sees their own day; the owner sees the floor. Something to read, not operate.
  • One button, your voicepress it and say “move Ana to four, and call Peter back for me.” That's the whole interface. She does the machinery behind the glass.
  • The shieldsales calls, scam calls, realtors — they never reach you and never appear anywhere. Real callers can ask to be put through; you still choose whether to pick up.
  • Only what can't waitat the desk, things land quietly on the panel. Out of the building, your phone only buzzes for the next hour or two.
  • Your whole inbound“tell Peter I'll be home at seven” in the same breath as the schedule. The cost of a personal call is the context switch, not the two minutes.
  • You are the bossyour team's hours guide what she offers on her own. A direct instruction — from you or from the stylist whose chair it is — is simply carried out, silently, and teaches her nothing about “normal”.

Providers glance up between clients and know. Nobody dries their hands to check a screen.

What she will never do

Warm is not the same as loose.

No menus

Not a phone tree

No “press one”. No “your call is important to us”. No recorded disclaimers before a human word. Warm, short, present — and she says what she is if you ask.

No inventing

Never makes things up

She offers what's in your catalogue and staff profiles. She won't crown a “best” anyone or promise an outcome. A time she offers is a time that's free.

No gossip

One client never hears about another

A moved client hears “we need to move your Tuesday — let me find you another time.” Never who, never why. And once moved kindly, they're not yo-yo'd back.

No pretending

Says what she is

She doesn't lead with it and doesn't apologise for it. Ask, and she'll tell you plainly: she's the assistant. She helps; that's what people remember.

Pricing

Two prices. No tiers, no minutes.

Per seat — a person Stella books — counted from her own book each month. Nothing to declare, nothing to meter, no percentage of your takings. Month to month, no contract.

Answer

$39per seat / month

She picks up, day and night, and takes care of the appointment someone is calling or texting about.

  • Books, moves and cancels into the real book — never a double-booking
  • Text confirmations and reminders
  • First-time callers held warmly; referrals taken; regulars recognised
  • The shield: junk never reaches you. The desk glass: who's next, what changed

Answer & Act

$69per seat / month

Everything in Answer, plus everything she starts — on her own inside your outbound hours, or on one sentence from you.

  • The late-cancellation refill and the short-notice list
  • Waitlist, recall and “wanted earlier” — chased before they lapse
  • Reminder calls for the people who don't text
  • Block moves and one-off commands: you say it once, she does the phoning

Three providers on Answer & Act: $207 a month. A seat is a person with ten or more appointments on their name that month. Under ten they're free — stand-ins, part-timers and holiday cover cost nothing; the receptionist, the rooms and the owner-as-admin don't count at all. No contract: you stay because it works. Price for life: your rates are locked the moment you start — we may raise prices for new customers, yours never change, and moving between the two lines keeps your locked rates for both. Cancel or stop paying and the lock is forfeited. A commitment, not a promo. Early access is configured by hand and priced exactly like this.
