For Salons

Instagram DM automation built for salons.

Book appointments from every Instagram comment.

Beauty discovery happens on Instagram. A great transformation post triggers dozens of "how much?" and "can I book?" comments - and every unanswered comment is a client walking past your door. IGMsg DMs your prices and booking link the instant someone comments, 24/7, through Meta's official API.

Why automate

The problems IGMsg solves for salons.

If any of these sound familiar, your inbox is your real growth bottleneck - not your content.

  • Price questions repeat on every post - your team types the same reply 50× a week
  • Slow inbox response means clients book the salon down the street instead
  • You can't put 12 service prices in your bio link
  • Walk-in enquiries from Instagram never make it to your booking calendar
  • Stylists at the chair can't pause to reply to DMs during a service

Frequently asked questions

Questions from salons.

Yes. The DM contains a link - you can paste any booking URL into the DM template. If your tool supports webhooks, you can use IGMsg's public webhooks to push the lead straight into your CRM.
Yes. Run a different automation per stylist's post - e.g., on Stylist A's posts the keyword BOOK sends her calendar; on Stylist B's posts it sends his. IGMsg lets you set up unlimited automations per Instagram account on paid plans.
Yes - and it often works better for premium services because each DM is more valuable. High-ticket clients respond strongly to a sub-2-second DM (it feels personal). Keep the message short and offer a consultation, not a hard sell.
Yes. Run different posts with different keyword CTAs and watch DM volume in the dashboard. Most salons find PRICE captures the most volume but BOOK captures the highest-intent leads.
Completely. IGMsg uses Meta's official Instagram Messaging API - the same API Meta-approved business tools use. Read our full safety post for details.
