Hey Kompa for hair salons and barbershops
Hair salons live and die by no-shows, last-minute bookings, and Instagram. Hey Kompa handles all three from your work phone, without an app.

If you run a salon
You know the drill.
We talked to 32 small hair salons and barbers. They all said the same things:
- Wednesday night, between dinner and bed, you check Instagram and find 14 DMs. Some from yesterday.
- Saturday 2 no-shows at 11am and 1pm. Your stylist sat reading the phone. Lost €120.
- Your last colour work was beautiful and nobody saw it because you were too tired to post on Sunday.
- You paid an agency 600€/mo. They scheduled feed posts but never confirmed a booking. You ended it.
- Holiday peaks (Christmas, communions, weddings) catch you with no offer prepared and clients book elsewhere.
WHAT KOMPA DOES FOR YOUR SALON
3 concrete things.
Built for small beauty businesses. No 'engagement rate', no 'funnel'. Booked Saturdays and replied DMs while you cut.
DMs answered in seconds.
"Tienes hueco mañana para mechas?" Kompa checks your booking system in real-time and replies with available slots. You see the conversation only if a human decision is needed.
""Mañana 10am o 4pm libres. ¿Cuál?" — Kompa, 8 seconds ago"
Post the colour work.
Take 2 photos after the job (with permission). Kompa posts to IG, Stories, Google profile. <b>Validated: +3 new bookings per posted result</b>.

REAL CASE · SALON
Sara doubled weekend bookings.
Single-chair operation in Málaga that grew to two chairs. Sara handed all of Instagram + booking confirmations to Kompa in November. By April: Saturdays sell out by Tuesday.

One-off BEAUTY-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
What salons ask us.
Can Kompa handle bookings in real time?
If you connect Treatwell, Booksy, Fresha or Wave, Kompa checks live availability and confirms. If not, it routes to your WhatsApp and you confirm manually.
Does it reply during the cut?
Yes. While you cut, Kompa replies to DMs and books appointments. You see the activity in your morning digest.
What about clients who want a specific stylist?
Kompa knows each stylist's schedule, specialties and prices. "Quiero con Sara para mechas" → checks Sara's calendar, replies with options.
What if a client cancels last-minute?
Kompa offers the slot in Stories within minutes. Validated: 70% of last-minute cancellations get re-filled within 2 hours.
Does it post the before/after photos?
Only with explicit consent — Kompa sends the client a message asking permission with the photos attached. If yes, it posts; if no, it never asks again.
What if I have multiple salons?
Each salon is a separate account (Pro plan offers volume discount). They can share voice/brand or be fully independent.
You opened at 9am to cut Marta’s hair. By the time she walked out at 11am with a new colour, you had 8 DMs, 2 phone calls, 1 walk-in, and somebody on Google Maps asking if you do brides. The chair next to you is empty because last week’s wedding-party booking didn’t get confirmed.
Hey Kompa is the receptionist + social manager you can’t afford to hire — a WhatsApp number that books appointments, confirms them, posts the work, and asks for reviews. While you cut.
What we handle in beauty specifically
- Bookings — service, stylist, duration, deposit if applicable. Confirmations 24h ahead with the price quote and any prep advice (“come with dry hair”).
- Reschedules — if a client cancels, Kompa offers the slot in Stories within minutes. Most get re-filled.
- Reviews and photos — asks for both with the same message, with photo permission first.
- Loyalty — the client coming for their 6th cut gets a “next one on the house at #10” message. Soft, not pushy.
What it doesn’t do
- It doesn’t cut hair (we tried — the AI gives terrible mood-board advice).
- It won’t pick the colour for you. It’ll ask the client to send a reference photo and forward it to you.
- It won’t deal with stylists’ WhatsApp gossip during the cut. That’s still your call.
