Does Bella actually book the appointment, or just take a message?
She books it. Bella writes the appointment straight into your booking software — Vagaro, Fresha, Boulevard, GlossGenius, Square Appointments or Mangomint — with the right service, the right stylist or provider and the right duration. The client gets a confirmation text before the call ends.
What happens when two people call at the same time?
Both get answered. Bella takes unlimited calls at once, so nobody hears a busy signal or sits on hold — even on a Saturday morning.
What if a caller asks something Bella can't handle?
She says so and hands it off. For anything outside her scope — a complicated colour correction consult, a complaint, a clinical question at a med spa — Bella takes the details, tells the caller when to expect a callback, and flags it for your team. She never guesses.
Will clients know they're talking to an AI?
Bella introduces herself by name and tells callers she's your AI receptionist if they ask. Most clients care about one thing: someone picked up, knew the answer, and booked them in under two minutes.
How does Bella know my prices, hours and policies?
We build her from your actual service menu, price list, hours, cancellation policy and team before she goes live. When something changes, you tell us and she updates the same day.
Can Bella text clients, not just call?
Yes. Bella replies to inbound texts, sends confirmations and reminders, follows up with no-shows, requests reviews and runs win-back campaigns — all by SMS from your business number.
How long does setup take?
Days, not weeks. After your demo we configure Bella around your menu, team and booking software, you listen to her, and she goes live — no hardware, no new software for you to learn.
Is Bella HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Hello Bella is HIPAA compliant, so med spas and aesthetics clinics can let Bella book consults, send intake links and handle patient calls and texts. Client and patient data stays private on every plan.
