Description
A one-person salon or independent beauty professional usually handles bookings themselves, between clients, which means missed messages, double-booked slots, and lost business from someone who wanted to book outside working hours. Avrora is built to be the always-available front desk that small beauty businesses can't otherwise afford.
Avrora is an AI-powered appointment-booking assistant for beauty professionals and salons. It handles client inquiries and books appointments 24/7 without manual intervention, provides a shareable booking link for social media, sends automatic email notifications and calendar reminders, and manages schedule availability through a browser-based interface. It supports both Russian and English, which suggests roots in or a focus on that market alongside English-speaking clients.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you're an independent beauty professional currently managing bookings through DMs and texts, Avrora's free first month is a low-risk way to see if automating that saves real time.
Its differentiator against general scheduling tools like Calendly or Acuity is that it's built specifically around the beauty-industry booking flow (client inquiries via social, shareable links, salon-specific scheduling patterns) rather than being a generic meeting scheduler retrofitted for the use case. That focus can mean less setup friction for a salon owner. The trade-off is that Avrora doesn't publish its ongoing subscription pricing anywhere public — you only see it at registration, after the free trial month — which makes it hard to budget for or compare against Calendly's transparent free/paid tiers before signing up. It's also a narrower, newer product than Booksy or Mindbody, which have much larger beauty-industry-specific feature sets (marketplace discovery, POS, inventory). Best fit: solo beauty professionals or small salons wanting simple 24/7 booking automation without a full salon-management suite. Weaker fit: larger salons needing POS, inventory, or marketplace discovery — Booksy or Mindbody cover that ground.
