CallPad answers your lash or brow studio phone while you're mid-set and books fills, touch-ups and new clients into your booking system, 24/7.

CallPad is an AI receptionist for lash and brow studios. It answers the calls you can't take with your hands at a client's eyes, answers questions about your services, prices and hours, and books, moves and cancels appointments in your booking system with the artist the client asks for. Anything it can't handle goes to your team as a transferred call or an emailed message.

Why do lash and brow calls go unanswered?

Lash and brow work is close, precise and impossible to pause. A full set takes a long time, and threading or a wax can't stop halfway. Many studios are one or two artists with no front desk, so the phone rings out.

Those calls matter more than they look. Lash and brow clients come back on a schedule of fills and touch-ups, so a missed call from a new client can cost every visit that would have followed.

Voicemail doesn't catch much of what you miss. In a survey of US consumers, only 42% said they leave a voicemail when a business doesn't answer, and 21% said they immediately call another business (CallRail, 2025). For salons and spas, Zenoti reports that only 24% of callers who reach voicemail leave a message (Zenoti, 2025).

More on this in why lash extension studios lose clients to missed calls and why brow bars lose new clients to missed calls.

What does CallPad do on a lash or brow call?

  • Books, moves and cancels in real time, with the artist the client asks for, so a regular can move her fill in one short call.
  • Answers first-time questions about your services, prices and opening hours, from the information you give it. You can teach it how your studio works, for example which artist does which treatment.
  • CallPad handles skin tests, and can remind clients who need a patch test before their appointment.
  • CallPad books multi-service appointments and handles processing time. A client can book a lash lift and a brow tint in the same call.
  • CallPad can take a deposit on the call, either by texting a payment link or using a card on file in your booking system.
  • CallPad can transfer the call to a team member or take a message. With a message, your team gets an email saying what the caller wanted.
  • Sends missed-call text-backs, so a caller who doesn't get through still hears from you.
  • CallPad keeps treatment details out of reminder and confirmation texts.

How does it cover overflow and after hours?

  1. Overflow first. Your team always gets the first chance to answer. If nobody picks up, the call goes to CallPad.
  2. After hours. CallPad answers when you're closed: evenings, early mornings and your days off.
  3. Full coverage. CallPad answers every call, 24/7, and your team handles the messages it passes on.

Every call is in your dashboard, where you can read what was said or listen to the recording.
