SHAI for Estheticians

Rebooking and retail both depend on a message after the appointment.

How this business runs

Rebooking and retail both hang on one message sent after the appointment, and that message is written when the room is already turned over for the next client - which is to say, not written.

The recommended team

7 agents from the roster, in the order this trade needs them.

/ghl-pipeline · runs the agent · delivered to dashboard

Nudge the clients who are overdue

every Monday at 8am

A client past their usual interval is deciding, not busy.

/ghl-pipeline · runs the agent · delivered to dashboard

Post this week's work and education

every Monday at 8am

This is a considered purchase and the feed is where the consideration happens.

/organic-content-creator · runs the agent · delivered to dashboard

Answer the DMs and reviews

every weekday at 9am

An enquiry that waits overnight books somewhere else.

/social-engagement · runs the agent · delivered to dashboard

Every one of these arrives as a proposal you approve or decline. Nothing is scheduled by signing up.

The tools to connect

Go High Level (GHL)

GoHighLevel is where the leads, the pipeline, the calendar and the conversations live. Almost every task below reads or writes it.

Meta Graph API (Instagram professional accounts + Facebook Pages)

Meta is where the audience is and where the ads run; without it nothing posts or reports.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is what SHAI writes to when the booking does not live in the CRM.

Each one is your own account, connected once. Every tool carries its price and the exact steps.

The first week

Connect the booking system and let SHAI list everyone overdue.
Turn on the post-treatment follow-up and read the first week.
Give it your product range and let it write the retail-attachment messages.

What to read on a Monday

Rebooking rate at checkout — The number that makes next month exist.
Retail attachment — High-margin revenue that is almost purely a function of being asked.
Weeks between visits — Stretching intervals are the first sign of churn.
New-client second-visit rate — A first visit that never repeats did not pay for itself.

What SHAI will not do in this trade

Anything that texts or calls a customer runs on a registered A2P 10DLC brand and campaign with the consent record on file. /ghl-a2p sets that up; SHAI will not send a customer message before it exists.
TCPA: no call or text to anyone who has not opted in, nothing outside 8am-9pm in the recipient's own time zone, and an opt-out honoured on the first message it arrives in.
Every message SHAI sends to someone who is not the owner says it is an AI assistant acting for the business (master prompt 4.7). It is never presented as a person.
SHAI never writes a review, never offers anything in exchange for one, and never posts as a customer. It drafts replies to reviews that already exist, for the owner to send.
Before-and-after imagery is regulated in most states and on both ad platforms. Use only images the practice owns with written patient consent on file, never a stock or generated image presented as a result, and keep the consent in the client's rights.md.
Scope of practice is regulated by state: what an esthetician may advertise performing differs sharply from a medical provider. SHAI writes only what you told it you are licensed to do.
No medical or permanent-result claims, and no product claim the manufacturer does not make.

Every line in this file is a recommendation written from an operator's knowledge of how this trade actually runs, never a promise about a result. Cadences are starting points; the owner changes them. Compliance notes are a reminder to check, not legal advice. Written 2026-09-15.

A playbook is a head start, not a requirement: SHAI works for any business, and a trade that is not on this list gets the same agents and a general plan built the same way.
