What does a salon's connected stack look like?

A salon's connected stack is four apps wired to one brain under one sign-in. Mycel is the brain: it holds how your salon works and is the owner's desk. Relay runs the customer side: missed calls and texts, online booking, reminders, the waitlist, rebooking, and an AI that offers open times by text and web chat, and by phone with the AI front desk. ReputeLift asks finished appointments for a review and drafts the replies. SynthPrism drafts posts for you to approve. You set the whole thing up with your services, stylists and policies, from one sign-in.

The brain

Mycel

Your services, prices, policies and how a visit runs, kept in one place that Relay's AI answers from once connected. It is also the owner's desk: money and clients from Relay, reviews and posts read in one spot.

Customer operations

Relay

Missed-call text-back, a booking page for each service or stylist, reminders, the waitlist, rebooking and one inbox for texts, email and web chat.

Reputation

ReputeLift

A review request held for your OK after each finished appointment, the same ask for every client, and draft replies in your voice.

Content

SynthPrism

Post drafts about your salon, waiting for you to edit and schedule.

Where salons leak money

Where a salon's day slips between the chair, the phone and the front desk.

Calls missed mid-appointment

A client who wants a time this week books somewhere else if the phone rings out and nothing texts back.

No-shows and late cancels

An empty chair is an hour nobody gets back, unless the client was reminded and the opening goes to someone who wanted it.

Regulars who drift

Clients mean to rebook in six weeks. Without a nudge at the right time, the next visit slides.

Great work nobody hears about

A great color or cut with no review ask and no post does nothing for the next client searching for a salon.

How a client flows across the stack

One client, from the call you missed mid-appointment to the owner's view in Mycel. Each step names the app doing the work.

1

The call you could not pick up Relay

Your hands are busy and the phone rings. With missed-call text-back on, the caller gets a text from your salon's own number, and the reply lands in your inbox to answer between clients.

2

Booked by the client or by the AI Relay

The client picks a time on your booking page, checked against Google Calendar if you connect it. Or they ask by text or web chat, and the AI answers with times your calendar really has open. Booking by the AI starts switched off; once on, you choose whether it drafts each booking for your approval or books on its own. The AI front desk, if you add it, books by phone under the same setting.

3

Reminded, and easy to move Relay

Reminders follow the rows you set, by default an email the day before and a text an hour before. Anyone who texted STOP gets no texts, and texts wait for daytime hours in the client's time zone. With the self-serve link on, each reminder carries a link to confirm, reschedule or cancel.

4

An opening gets offered Relay

When a client cancels, the smart waitlist, if you switch it on, texts waitlisted clients whose preferences fit that exact time, and the first to reply BOOK gets it. When you cancel, you can send a message and offer one to three open times.

5

The regulars rebook Relay

A date-based reminder counts forward from the client's last completed appointment, six weeks for a cut or whatever you set, and skips anyone who already has a booking.

6

The review ask ReputeLift

The finished appointment becomes a review request in ReputeLift, held until you approve it. Every client gets the same ask, and new reviews land in one inbox with a draft reply.

7

The work becomes a post SynthPrism

A post about this week's work is drafted in SynthPrism. You edit it, add a photo and schedule it, and nothing goes out until you do.

8

The owner's desk Mycel

Money and clients from Relay, reviews from ReputeLift and posts from SynthPrism come together in Mycel, and every number says where it came from.

What comes set up for a salon

Your Relay account starts with the salon and beauty knowledge folders and playbooks, and you fit them to your salon before your first client touches it.

Booking calendars

A calendar and booking page for each service or stylist, each with its own length and buffer, connected to Google Calendar if you use it.

What the AI knows

Starter folders for services and pricing, booking and deposits, policies, aftercare and prep, and salon info, filled in with your answers so Relay's AI replies from them. Once Mycel is connected, those notes come from Mycel.

Reminders and confirmations

Your reminder rows, each with its own timing and its own email or text, plus a booking confirmation worded your way with the time and your address.

Playbooks switched on

From the salon set: missed-call text-back, no-show prevention, booking confirmation and prep, a check-in after a treatment, win-back for clients who went quiet, and the slow-season pre-book.

Deposits and the waitlist

Deposits at booking on the calendars where you take them, and the smart waitlist with each client's preferred service, days and times.

Your clients brought over

Your client list imported from a spreadsheet export, so nothing gets retyped.

Your number, one brain

Your salon's own texting number for text-back and reminders, and Relay connected to Mycel, ReputeLift and SynthPrism.

What it costs

Each app in the stack publishes its own price, and our pricing page at https://martellosystems.com/pricing lists all five with links to each one. You choose a plan when it is working for your salon.

What changes when it is one stack

The phone, the booking, the reminder, the waitlist, the rebook, the review and the post stop living in separate places. Openings get offered instead of sitting empty, every finished appointment gets the same review ask, posts are drafted for you to approve, and you read the whole salon in Mycel instead of five logins.

Who this isn't for

Salons that want a stack of separate tools to run themselves. This is one connected system you run yourself from one sign-in, and it fits best when most of your work is booked appointments.

Questions

A salon's connected stack is four apps wired to one brain under one sign-in. Mycel is the brain: it holds how your salon works and is the owner's desk. Relay runs the customer side: missed calls and texts, online booking, reminders, the waitlist, rebooking, and an AI that offers open times by text and web chat, and by phone with the AI front desk. ReputeLift asks finished appointments for a review and drafts the replies. SynthPrism drafts posts for you to approve. You set the whole thing up with your services, stylists and policies, from one sign-in.
No. Start where your salon is leaking, often the phone and no-shows, and connect the rest as it earns its place. Mycel is part of it from the start, so every app answers from the same knowledge about your salon.
Yes. Each calendar has its own booking page and link, so a stylist or a service can each have one, with its own length and buffer.
Only if you tell it to. Booking by the AI starts switched off. Switched on, you choose whether it drafts each booking for your approval or books on its own, and it only offers times your calendar has open.
You set how many reminders go out, when, and whether each is an email or a text, and you can switch them off for the whole salon. Anyone who texted STOP gets no texts, and texts wait for daytime hours in the client's time zone.
Yes. You import your clients from a spreadsheet export, so nothing gets retyped.
Each app in the stack publishes its own price, and our pricing page at https://martellosystems.com/pricing lists all five with links to each one. You choose a plan when it is working for your salon.
An AI receptionist answers the phone when your team cannot. In this stack it is the AI front desk, an add-on to Relay that answers from what your salon has taught it and, once connected, what Mycel knows. It books under the same booking setting as text and web chat, and every call is logged on the client's record. When a call is still missed, the text-back takes over.

Software you run yourself

Relay runs the customer side for appointment businesses: one inbox, booking, reminders and the AI front desk, as one part of a connected stack with Mycel as the brain. Set it up around how your salon works, one app at a time. A 15-minute walkthrough call is there if you want help picking where to start.
