Hear Hazel answer a Chicago salon call
This line belongs to Sample Hair Studio of Chicago, a sample salon we made up so you can hear Hazel work. Its prices are examples. On your line, Hazel uses your own website, prices and calendar.
Things to try
- "Can I book a cut and color Saturday?"
- "How much is balayage?"
- "Is Maria available next week?"
The browser demo uses your device's built-in voice; real calls use a premium phone voice.

Does it work with my booking app?
It books through Calendly or any calendar with a private link today. Square, Vagaro and Boulevard bookings become messages for now.
Can it say different prices per stylist?
Yes, if you list them that way.
Can it book a specific stylist?
Yes, if the stylist's schedule is in your calendar or booking link. Otherwise it takes the request and you confirm.
What about color corrections or long services?
It asks what the client wants done and books a consultation or the right length of slot from your service list.
Can calls be recorded in Illinois?
Illinois is an all-party (two-party) consent state for recording phone calls: everyone on the call has to know it is being recorded. Hazel says "this call may be recorded" in the first sentence of every call, before recording starts, and you can turn recording off in Settings.
Will it book in Chicago time?
Yes. Your line runs on Central Time, so every slot Hazel offers and every summary you get is in local Chicago time. It answers around the clock, including the 118 hours a week a typical salon is closed.
