AI receptionist for small salons offers first month free to 100 shops

A new AI receptionist called InTake is giving the first 100 businesses that sign up a free first month. It is built for independent salons and studios, the kind of small shops where the person cutting hair is often also the one answering the phone.

What it is

InTake is software that acts as a receptionist. In plain terms, it is meant to handle calls and bookings so the owner does not have to. The announcement came through the press release site PRLog on October 27, 2026.

The offer

The first month is free, but only for the first 100 businesses. After that, the material does not say what InTake costs. It also does not say how long the offer lasts, or what happens when the free month ends.

Why the EU hosting matters

InTake says it is hosted in the EU. That matters because it describes where customer data is kept. A salon's records hold client names, phone numbers and appointment history. Where that information sits, and who can see it, is a fair question for any owner to ask.

What is not known yet

• The price after the free month
• Which languages, phone systems or booking tools it works with
• How well it handles real calls
• How client data is used, stored and deleted

What to do

A free month is a low-risk way to test whether an AI can take over phone and booking work. Before signing up, ask how client data is handled and whether it can be exported or deleted. Also check what happens when the trial ends, so billing does not start without notice.
