Hair salons and barbers in France. An AI that answers the salon phone while you’re with a client

With a client in the chair, Vicem answers and takes down what the caller wants.

In France, you can get a local number after a document check, or forward the calls you miss from your own number. Callers there usually speak French, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

What your callers ask

  • “Do you have anything Saturday afternoon?”
  • “How much is a cut and color?”
  • “Can I move my appointment to Thursday?”
  • “Do you take walk-ins?”

How it works in France

  1. Get a local number

    A local number in France after a document check: an ID issued in France (a residence permit counts), a recent bill, and a local address.

  2. Give out your Vicem number

    Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.

  3. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in France usually speak French. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.

After hours and urgent calls

People call when you’re closed to plan their week. Vicem answers in the evening too, so every request is waiting for you in the morning.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the appointment request: the service, the name and the times that suit them. You confirm the time, so your chair is never double-booked by a call.

An example call. Sam is an example name; yours says your name.

How a call goes

  1. Vicem

  3. Vicem

    I’ll check with the salon. Can I take your name and the times that work for you on Saturday?

  4. Caller

    Thanks, Anna. I’ve noted a haircut, Saturday after two. The salon will get back to you to confirm.
