Hear from our clients...

Our Clients 🖤 Us!

It's been great having My Salon Desk help with my workflow. I felt bogged down by calls, and I wasn't timely in returning calls because I was busy treating clients.

READ MORE

We're better than the rest.

We happily take in the disgruntled clients of our competitors.

1
We can address 98% of client concerns without disturbing you.

Beauty industry expertise...

The other services make chronic scheduling errors and have little to no understanding of our industry. 


For example, they wouldn't know how many units of Botox are typically needed per treatment area. 


Trust us, we've heard it all.

2
Our Hours Make Sense.​



9 AM to 7:30 PM in ALL time zones...


We're open 9 am to 7:30 pm in ALL time zones, while many answering services only provide service in the Eastern time zone on weekdays. 


You will also have convenient access to us to address any questions or make service updates.  

Incentivizing quality...

Billing per-call as opposed to per-minute prevents our receptionists from rushing, and enables an excellent client rapport - new salon and spa clients often require 5-9 minute calls before they'll book!

3
Our Billing Structure Makes Sense.​


We Employ an Affordable Bill-by-Call ​Pricing Structure.

Keep track of your usage - instantly.

Using our Text for Totals feature, you can text us anytime to receive an instant update with your plan usage. Monitor your usage and effectively manage your budget.

✓  Clear Pricing

Unlike most other answering services, we charge by the call, not the minute. This simplifies and streamlines our service, and also incentivizes better quality client support.


No hidden fees - we don't charge any additional monthly maintenance fees. 



✓ Stay In Budget

If you wish to stay within a specific budget, you can easily cap spending at the price-point of your choosing by limiting the number of calls per Tenant.


We will collect your Tenants' payment information and directly bill them each month for excess utilization.


✓ Rapid Onboarding

We move quickly + efficiently here at My Salon Desk - once you subscribe to a plan, you will be assigned a dedicated Onboarding Specialist who will facilitate your intake process. 


We can have your service up + running within 2-3 weeks. 



Some of our Plan Add-Ons...

Business Phone Number

Offer professionalism to your clients by getting a dedicated business phone number with the local area code of your choosing.


Sunday Service

Our standard Suite Virtual Reception is offered Monday through Saturday in line with typical business hours of operation - Tenants can obtain service on Sundays between 10 am and 3:30 pm with this Add-On.

Voicemail Service

Normally after hours you'd have to re-route calls back to your phone line. If you'd like, we can review + respond to your messages - and you can save yourself the trouble of turning on and off your forwarding settings daily.

Tenant Custom Welcome Greeting

Your Tenants can leverage the moment of time before client calls are connected to our receptionists to boost branding, marketing, and client education efforts - play a custom recorded greeting before every call connects.

Payment Support

If Tenants desire the collection of payment information to fulfill card-on-file requirements, we can input credit card information into their clients' profiles - we do not process any fees or deposits under any circumstances.

Instant Call Notification

If Tenants really want to know who's calling at all times, we can easily send a text message containing the incoming caller's phone number and the timestamp immediately after each call.

We offer a streamlined startup process.

Schedule a Discovery Call with the My Salon Desk Team.

Complete our intake process - we'll guide Tenants throughout.

Upgrade + Customize your plan with Add-Ons.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

G E N E R A L

Are your Receptionists US-based or in another country?

We're proudly based in Massachusetts (BOSTON 🍀 to be exact), as are all of our Receptionists!

Our receptionists are all based within our home state, meaning they are very familiar with North American beauty protocol and product lines. We NEVER use foreign-based Receptionists. 


Just FYI, we require our Suites Receptionists to have at least 1-2 years of professional industry experience as a licensed beauty professional, salon or spa manager, receptionist, etc. Fun fact: over 90% of our receptionists have a bachelor's degree or are currently pursuing one! Being in a town with so many great universities, it's no surprise that our receptionists are wicked smart (Boston joke!).

How does the Onboarding Process Work?

​It takes about 2-3 weeks - we're here for you every step of the way.

Our Business Development Team + your dedicated Onboarding Specialist will support you on your journey towards My Salon Desk Suite Service - view a detailed timeline by clicking the button below:

What fields of cosmetology + esthetics do you work with?

Any single-staff beauty business (Med-Spas require individual accounts).

Blowouts, Barbering, Cuts, Color, Braids, Weaves, Extensions, Up-Dos, Weddings, Makeup Artistry, Lash Extensions, Permanent Makeup, Brow Design, Manicures + Pedicures, Nail Design, Ear Piercing, Tattoo Art, General Aesthetics (facials, light peels, derma planing, Microderm, etc.), Wax + Sugar Hair Removal, Massage + Reflexology - you name it. 


Any professional performing medical-spa procedures such as Cryolipsosis (e.g. Coolscultping®), EMS, Radiofrequency, Microneedling, Dermal Fillers, and / or Wrinkle Relaxers will require a MedSpa plan and their own scheduling software.

How do you protect the privacy of clients + customers?

We take privacy seriously.

All of our communication methods are protected with the highest levels of security and encryption - our phone systems are both PCI and HIPAA-compliant and meet SOC 2 security standards. In line with our Terms of Service we do not make any claims to the client or customer data in your software. We will send informational + marketing newsletters to your Tenants on a weekly or biweekly basis but will never make any unrequested contact to the clients + customers of your Suite Tenants.


Each Tenant will only be able to view his or her own schedule - should they require a client list we will happily provide that to them by request (we wish to avoid Tenants being able to view the clients of other Tenants).


You will always have administrative access to the Mangomint® software - if you prefer, we will include your ability to market your Suite directly to Tenants' clients into your customized Suite Terms & Conditions. 

C A L L   H A N D L I N G

How do you handle calls?

​You and your Tenants will complete an Intake Questionnaire.

Upon subscription, you and your Tenants would all complete an approximately 10-20 minute Intake Questionnaire that will provide enough information for us to professionally answer your calls. Our receptionists are industry-experienced and highly trained in the provision of white-glove service, so you can save yourself the trouble of providing additional scripts or training.


The standards of our FAQ Answering Service are:

1. Our receptionists professionally answer your clients' calls in the name of the Suite (not Tenants' individual businesses)

2. Our receptionists answer any inquiries leveraging their existing industry acumen, and forward client-specific messages as needed.


The standards of our Booking Service are:

1. We book and edit appointments directly into any available time-slot within your Tenants' schedules per specific client request.


Any other notes, scripts, reports, tasks, are NOT included as part of our standard Suite Service offering. 

Do you make outbound calls or texts?

Unfortunately not at this time.

Unfortunately we can NOT make any outbound calls or text messages for your Tenants.

How are Voicemails handled?

We can help with that!

We offer Voicemail Service for Tenants and for any Suite Business Numbers, through which we'll handle phone calls forwarded our way after hours - we'll listen to and address any voicemails received the following day, and make follow-up calls if needed. 


FYI - a Suite Business Number would be any number that you choose to independently forward our way (My Marketing Suite™ number, Tenant Maintenance Support number, etc.). Any Voicemails received on your Tenant Forwarding Number will require an active Voicemail service Add-On by the individual Tenant - they'll be billed directly (unless you choose to pay for it).

Can Tenants provide you with custom scheduling instructions?

Yes - but only if it can be directly programmed into our scheduling software. 

Our Receptionists will not be available to memorize any scheduling preferences. We do strictly enforce the requirement that ALL scheduling preferences be scheduled directly into their booking software - no other service customizations are feasible. This should be relatively simple to facilitate given the advanced design of our software. 

How do Tenants receive updates regarding their clients?

By text message, or App Notification.

The scheduling software mobile app will automatically send SMS messages and app notifications for any new, edited, or canceled appointment as well as client arrival notifications  We also will transmit any client-specific inquiries we receive by phone as SMS messages.
