AI tools for salons in Canada, with the price of each one stated
Some of the AI in Slotora quietly works for nothing: it scores every booking for no-show risk, answers guests on your booking page and tells you which regulars are overdue. The parts that write and draw for you cost a few credits each, and the figure is on the button before you press it. There is no AI subscription to add to your plan.
Try it free for 14 daysWhere AI earns its place in a salon
An owner does not need a chatbot for its own sake. She needs fewer empty chairs, fewer questions answered by hand at nine at night, and the Instagram post she has been meaning to write for three weeks. Each tool below is aimed at one of those, and each one is either free or priced per use.
The rule behind the split is simple. Where the work is a calculation over your own bookings, it is free, because it costs nothing to run. Where a language model has to write or draw something new, it uses credits, because that is the part with a real cost behind it.
Included at no charge
Nothing to buy and, for most of these, nothing to switch on.
No-show risk on every booking
Each booking gets a quiet score from its history, so you can see which appointment deserves a deposit request or a phone call before the day. It is a hint, never a rule.
Nita on your booking page
Tick one box and she answers guests' questions about prices, hours, your address and your cancellation policy, offers times that are really free, and takes the booking. Free, and in the language the guest writes in.
Who to write to today
A short list of clients past their usual return date, with the reason written out. It learns each client's own rhythm, so somebody who has always come every ten weeks is not chased at eight.
What each service leaves you
With product use set on your services, Slotora works out what each job leaves after materials and says in a sentence which service pays better for the time.
Paid per use, in credits
Credits are priced in Canadian dollars, bought in packs, and the ones you buy do not expire.
A written post: 2 credits
An Instagram caption or a Facebook post built from your own services, prices and hours, for a goal you choose.
A drawn picture: 6 credits
Describe it in a sentence and get a square image to post beside the caption. Nothing is taken if the drawing fails.
A before-and-after poster: 8 credits
Your two photographs set into a finished poster with lettering, ready to share.
You stay in charge of what it does
Every AI feature that could reach a client or change your diary prepares its work and then waits for you. A rebooking nudge, an offer of a freed-up time, a deposit request: you see it and press send, or you do not. In Canada those emails also follow CASL's two-year rule before they go.
Each use is written down with what it did and why. And if you want all of it to stop, one switch pauses Nita at once, with no dialog and no support ticket; your credits wait where they are.
What the AI does not do in Canada
Some of what Slotora's AI does elsewhere is not available here yet.
- No AI phone receptionist in Canada
- The assistant that answers a salon's phone line is not offered to Canadian salons yet. Calls to your salon still reach you or your voicemail.
- The booking page is not in French
- Nita answers in the language a guest writes in, French included, but the booking page around her is in English for a Canadian salon.
- It works from what you have entered
- Nita's answers and the written posts are only as good as your service menu, prices and policy. Gaps in those show up in what she says.
- Risk scores need history
- A brand-new client has no history to score, and a new salon has little. The score gets more useful as your diary fills.
Questions about AI in Slotora
Do I need an AI subscription?
No. The free tools are part of your plan, and the rest is paid per use in credits that you buy only if you want them.
Are credits priced in Canadian dollars?
Yes. A Canadian salon buys credit packs in Canadian dollars, and the number of credits each action uses is shown on its button before it runs.
Is the AI phone receptionist available in Canada?
Not yet. It is offered in some European markets, and Canada is not one of them today.
Does Nita cost anything on my booking page?
No. Answering guests and taking bookings on your page is free. Only the things she writes or draws for you use credits.
Can I turn the AI off?
Yes. The booking-page assistant is off until you tick it, and one switch pauses Nita entirely. No-show scores are a quiet hint you can ignore.
Let the calculations run for free
Switch on the booking-page assistant, read the morning list of who is overdue, and buy credits only on the day you want a post written.
