Messaging

Every client text, in one inbox.

Clients text your salon's own number, and the desk answers from the same iPad that runs your book. Reminders go out on their own, and techs can text the desk when they're running behind.

Texts that save the desk a phone call.

Every message lands next to the booking it belongs to, so whoever is at the desk can answer without asking around.

Automatic reminders

Clients who opt in get a reminder the day before. No one has to remember to send it.

Your salon's own number

Texts come from one number for your salon, not a tech's personal phone.

Running late? Say so

When a tech texts LATE 15, the desk sees it and can let the next client know in a tap.

Techs text the desk too

Techs can text TODAY or TIPS to check their day, and their messages land in the same inbox.

AI help with replies is on the way.

We're building AI that drafts replies and handles simple requests, with the desk approving anything it sends. It isn't in Pemma yet, so we won't sell it to you until it is, and it will be included in your price when it ships.

Draft repliesSuggests an answer to common questions, and the desk sends it.
