Hi, is Grace free today for a wash & blow dry?
Hey! Grace has 3:30 today or 5pm tomorrow — which works better?
3:30 works
You're booked — Wash & Blow Dry with Grace, 3:30 today.
One more thing — can I speak to someone about a refund from last week?
Of course. I've let Amina know — she'll message you here shortly.

The customer in front of you
shouldn't compete with the phone.

Mid-service

The client in the chair comes first

A stylist is halfway through a blow-dry. Someone on WhatsApp wants to know if Saturday's open. Both are waiting on an answer.

After hours

The reply that comes too late

A customer messages at 9pm asking about pricing. The answer comes the next morning — if it comes at all.

The same question

Asked most days

"How much is it?" "Do you take walk-ins?" "Are you open Sunday?" The same handful of questions, on repeat.

The drop-off

Interest that goes nowhere

Someone was clearly ready to book. Then the conversation just stopped, because nobody had a minute to keep it going.

None of this is anyone's fault. It's what happens when the same person has to serve the client in the chair and the queue in their pocket.

Booking is only one thing
a good receptionist does.

A receptionist worth having doesn't just take messages. She figures out what someone actually wants, keeps the conversation moving, and knows exactly when to say "let me get someone for you."

Janasi is built to do the online version of that job — not to replace the front desk, but to cover it when everyone else is busy.

One conversation,
start to finish.

No forms, no app to download — just the WhatsApp thread your customers already have open.

Message

A customer messages on WhatsApp, like always.

2

5

6

Hands over

Brings your team in the moment it matters.

A few conversations, unscripted.

Recommending
Hi, I've got a wedding Saturday — what would you recommend?
Congrats! For a wedding most people go for the Silk Press + Makeup combo. Want me to check what's open Saturday?
Yes please
10am or 1pm are both free with Faith. Which works?
Rescheduling
Can I move my appointment to Friday instead?
Sure — Friday's got 11am or 4pm open. Want one of those, or should I check another day?
Escalating
I need to speak to the owner about something.
Of course — I'll let Brenda know right now and she'll message you directly.

Built for businesses where
the phone never really stops.

Salons

Hair & beauty

Keep the stylist with the client, not the phone.

Barbershops

Fades & lineups

Keep the chair full while WhatsApp keeps asking about availability.

Clinics

Appointment-based practices

Let the front desk focus on patients, not repeating the same three answers.

Spas

Beauty & wellness

Turn enquiries into appointments without adding another person at the desk.

And more

Other service businesses

For any team where customer conversations compete with customer service.

Janasi only knows
what you tell it.

It works from your services, your prices, your policies and your hours — nothing invented, nothing guessed.

Your services

Only the services you've listed, described the way you describe them.

Your prices

Exact figures, never estimated.

Your policies

Cancellations, deposits, walk-ins — set once, followed every time.

Your hours

Including the days you're closed.

Your escalation rules

You decide what gets handed to a person, and when.

Your permissions

Control who on your team sees what.

When Janasi isn't certain, your team steps in — not the other way around.

What this actually gets you.

Fewer interruptions

Your team spends less time switching between the customer in front of them and WhatsApp.

More conversations answered

Routine enquiries don't have to wait until someone's free.

Fewer lost leads

Customers can keep talking even when your team is busy.

More consistent follow-up

Interested customers don't disappear just because everyone got busy.

Better continuity

Returning customers get handled with context, not a blank slate.

Better visibility

See what customers are asking, and where conversations are getting stuck.

See exactly what's
happening at the front desk.

Every conversation, booking and handoff in one place — so nothing is a mystery.

Questions? We've got
answers.

No. Janasi covers the online conversations when your team is busy with the person in front of them. Your receptionist, stylists and barbers keep doing what they do best — Janasi just makes sure nobody messaging you gets left on read.
Answering routine questions, helping customers book, moving reschedules and cancellations along, following up on conversations that stalled, and recognising returning customers. Anything outside that, it hands to your team.
Yes — that's the main channel. You connect your existing WhatsApp Business number, and Janasi handles the conversations that come through it.
No. They message the number they already have saved. Nothing to install, no account to create.
It says so, and brings your team into the conversation instead of guessing. You get the full thread so you're not starting from scratch.
Yes. It only uses the services, prices, policies and hours you've set. If something isn't in there, it won't invent an answer.
Yes — bookings, reschedules and cancellations all happen inside the same WhatsApp conversation.
Any time. You can step into a conversation from your dashboard whenever you want, not just when Janasi escalates.
No. Salons and barbershops are where we started, but clinics, spas and other appointment-based businesses use it the same way.
14 days, no card required. You can set it up and start using it with real customers straightaway.
It's stored securely and never shared with third parties. You can export your data as a CSV at any time.

Keep your team with
the customer in front of them.
