The wow moment

One selfie in. Three cuts back.

The client sends a photo, La Garzona replies with three haircut ideas that suit the shape of their face — right in the chat. They walk in already decided.

One selfie in — three haircut proposals numbered 1, 2, 3
One selfie — three tailored ideas, in chat
Three times “enough”

Three things you never worry about again.

Enough with commissions

No percentage on bookings: a fixed monthly fee, full stop. Not a cent on the regular who always comes back, not a cent on the brand-new client.

Enough with apps to install

Neither the client nor the owner downloads anything. WhatsApp and Google Calendar: the tools already on everyone's phone.

Enough with data held hostage

Calendar, contacts and number stay the salon's. To leave, you revoke access — ten seconds — and the data never left home.

No one else on the market can say all three, this simply.

600appointments a month in a three-chair salon
360WhatsApp conversations — just 60% of them
18 hrsa month, at three minutes per conversation
€500+a month, at €30 of chair time per hour

And the worst cost isn't in euros: putting down the scissors to pick up the phone, mid-cut.

Already in use

Not a promise. It already happened.

The workshop

Every old workshop had a garzona. This one never takes a holiday.

The garzona was the apprentice who answered, booked the appointments and kept the diary while the master worked. La Garzona is that figure, in digital form. Not a management system to learn: one more colleague, who never gets sick and answers at midnight — in 140 languages.

The real problem

The problems we take off your back.

Three things you deal with every week. She fixes them.

"I answer the phone with my elbow, client halfway through a color, and lose the next one on the line."

The hidden cost: the color waits, the client on the phone doesn't. And whoever was calling has already booked another salon.

What she does: she replies on WhatsApp for you, without pulling your hands off the job. You stay with the client in front of you.

"I keep the 3pm chair open, and at 3:15 I'm still standing there waiting."

The hidden cost: an hour of work burned that no other client could take.

What she does: confirms the appointment and sends a reminder beforehand. No-shows tell you in advance — you find out before it happens.

"They message me at 9pm for an appointment, and I don't see it until the next day — by then they've already booked the salon across the street."

The hidden cost: a new client lost before you've even read the message.

What she does: replies right away — evenings, Sundays, while you're home. The appointment's already on the books by the time you open up.

Why La Garzona

A real garzona. Built for your craft.

Beneath the simple chat there's engineering built for those who live by their hands and the schedule. Nine details that make the difference.

No app to download

Everything on WhatsApp — the app your clients already have open. No downloads, no new accounts, no passwords to remember.

She understands voice notes

Mrs Maria sends a 47-second voice note. La Garzona transcribes, understands, and replies as if she'd read a written message.

Speaks 140 languages

A tourist writes in Dutch? She answers in Dutch. She picks up the language from the very first message. You do nothing.

Never two clients in the same slot

Even if two people write at the exact same moment for the same slot, only one gets it. No apology calls ever.

Reschedule across staff without chaos

"I'd like to switch from Marco to Luca": done. Even across separate Google calendars, even on the fly, without you stepping in.

You're the boss, she knows it

From your number you see the whole schedule and change anything. Clients only see their own things. Automatic privacy, always.

At night. In August.

Sundays, holidays, summer break: she works. You go to sleep. Clients always get an answer.

Every service has its own colour

Cut, colour, beard, blow-dry: every appointment lands in the calendar with the right duration and a different colour per service. Open your calendar and read the whole day at a glance.

Haircut advice from a selfie

The client sends her a selfie, she replies with three haircut ideas that suit their face shape. They walk in already decided.

She closes your promos

Run a promo on Instagram or Facebook and point it at WhatsApp: she welcomes whoever writes and turns curiosity into a booked appointment.

2026 incentives

There is public funding to digitalise your salon.

The Voucher Doppia Transizione 2026, run by the Italian Chambers of Commerce, is a non-repayable grant for small businesses adopting enabling technologies — including artificial intelligence.

  • Who can apply: micro, small and medium businesses registered in Italy (Registro Imprese), up to date with chamber fees and DURC.
  • How much: a non-repayable grant covering up to 70% of the cost. Each Chamber of Commerce sets its own maximum.
  • What it covers: enabling technologies (including artificial intelligence), consulting and staff training. Digital marketing, PCs and basic websites are normally excluded.
  • How it works: pre-filing from 8 July 2026 on the ReStart platform, with the SELFI 4.0 self-assessment. First come, first served — your Chamber of Commerce sets dates and amounts.

La Garzona is an artificial-intelligence solution, so it may fall within the eligible expenses — but the final say rests with your own Chamber of Commerce notice: check there before buying. We do not handle the application for you.

FAQ

The questions we always get.

How does it connect to my calendar?

It syncs with Google Calendar in real time: the moment an appointment is created or moved, you see it there.

Do clients need to download anything?

No. They just message on WhatsApp — the app they already have open.

How much does it cost?

€129/month (excl. VAT), 7-day free trial, free setup. Cancel anytime.

Does it work if there's more than one of us in the salon?

Yes. It manages the schedules of multiple staff — hairdressers, barbers, nail artists, estheticians — even on separate Google Calendars, and moves appointments between colleagues when needed.

Do I connect WhatsApp with a QR code, like WhatsApp Web?

No. La Garzona uses Meta's official connection (the WhatsApp Business API): your number stays yours, the connection doesn't drop and there's zero ban risk. No QR to rescan, no phone that has to stay on at the till.

Are there extra costs beyond €129/month?

No. No usage credits, no per-message WhatsApp fees, no commission on appointments. €129/month all inclusive, setup included. One exception: if you switch on automatic reminders — the messages that go out on their own to tomorrow's clients — the sending cost is charged to the salon. Until October 2026, though, sending is free, with a cap of 1,000 messages a month.

Can it cancel or move something by mistake?

No. Before cancelling or moving anything, she always asks for confirmation. Cautious by nature: never an appointment lost to a misunderstanding.

Do I have to stop using my WhatsApp?

No. You keep using your WhatsApp app exactly as before: La Garzona works alongside you on the same number, from day one. You see everything and step in whenever you want.

Still here?

You have two options.

Keep replying yourself on WhatsApp between clients,
or let her do it.
