# Nail Salon Client Experience & Retention Automation Workflow

> A full-cycle GoHighLevel salon automation workflow from booking to review gating.

This blueprint outlines an end-to-end automation sequence tailored for nail salons and local appointment-based businesses. It handles intake forms, IoT station adjustments, reminder sequences, tablet check-in, loyalty rewards, and filtered review generation using GoHighLevel. Agency owners can adapt the structure to sell as a managed CRM service to local clients.

## How it works

Full automation flow:

1. Booking & Onboarding:
2. Customer books appointment via salon website.
3. Customer completes an intake form specifying style, music & TV preferences, lighting preference, and conversation level.
4. Confirmation & Scheduling:
5. Google Calendar invite and automated confirmation SMS sent (via GoHighLevel).
6. Appointment automatically assigned to the most suitable technician in the CRM.
7. Pre-Appointment Reminder (24 Hours Prior):
8. System waits until 24 hours before the appointment and sends an SMS asking for attendance confirmation (Yes/No).
9. If 'No': triggers a reschedule sequence asking 'Would you like to reschedule?'. If still 'No', appointment is canceled.
10. If 'Yes': confirmed for arrival.
11. In-Salon Arrival & Experience:
12. Client arrives and checks in via reception tablet.
13. System immediately notifies the assigned technician that their client has arrived.
14. Technician station automatically adjusts via integrated smart devices (sets client's requested music playlist, lighting, and TV preference).
15. Checkout & Rebooking:
16. Customer checks out on the tablet and is prompted to book their next appointment immediately.
17. Post-Visit Retention & Reviews (1 Hour After Departure):
18. Action A: CRM profile is automatically credited with loyalty points.
19. Action B: SMS is sent asking to rate the experience from 1 to 5.
20. If rating is 4 or 5: automatically sends a Google Review request link.
21. If rating is below 4: review request is suppressed/ignored for internal review.
22. Data Analysis:
23. System analyzes feedback, booking patterns, and sales trends to advise on staffing and service offerings.
