AI receptionist for aesthetic clinics in Shymkent
Between procedures a cosmetologist in Shymkent takes her gloves off to answer an Instagram message and puts them back on again. The agent spares her that: it answers about prices and free slots, books and moves visits, and leaves medical questions to her.
Hello! I’m going to a wedding toi in a week and want to get my skin in shape. What would you suggest, and how much is a facial cleansing?
Hello! A facial cleansing is 11,000 tenge. Which procedure suits your skin, and whether it will show by the toi, is for the cosmetologist to say when she sees you. Before the toi we have Wednesday at 18:00 or Thursday at 12:30 with Meruert, our cosmetologist.
Wednesday, please. Can I have a peel the same day?
You’re booked for Wednesday at 18:00 with Meruert. Whether a peel is a good idea before the toi, and on which day, is her decision: I’ve passed on your question and the date of the toi, and she’ll reply here.
Thank you!
I’ll send a reminder on Tuesday evening. If you’d like to bring a friend, just write and I’ll find a slot next to yours.
When customers write in Shymkent
In Shymkent before holidays and tois the cosmetologist’s diary fills up weeks ahead, and the questions pour in every evening. In an ordinary week most messages come at lunchtime and after 19:00, and at weekends from first thing in the morning.
Busiest hours: 12:00 to 14:00 and 19:00 to 22:00
“I’m stuck at work, can I come at 17:00 instead of 15:00?” The agent checks the schedule and moves the visit.
Messages sparked by a post: “I want the same, how much is it?” The agent gives the procedure price and offers a consultation.
Late in the evening friends arrange to come together. The agent gives them two slots back to back.
Answers in Kazakh and Russian
The agent writes in the customer’s language: if someone starts in Kazakh, the answer comes in Kazakh. Here is the same reply in both languages.
In the south many people also write in Uzbek, and the agent answers in Uzbek too.
Сәлеметсіз бе! Ертең сағат 17:00-де косметолог Меруерт кеңес бере алады. Сізді жазып қояйын ба?
Здравствуйте! Завтра в 17:00 косметолог Меруерт может провести консультацию. Записать вас?
What the agent takes off your hands
Books consultations and procedures
Works out what the client wants to book: a consultation, a one-off procedure or the next session of a course, and picks a time that fits the procedure’s length. The client record and the chat are saved in the CRM.
Answers on prices, courses and offers
Clients often ask “how much is the whole course?” and “is a package cheaper?”. The agent answers from your price list, and how many sessions a particular client needs is for the specialist to decide.
Leaves contraindications to the doctor
Questions like “will it suit me?” and “what will the effect be?” are answered by the doctor at a consultation, not by the agent. It tells the client so plainly, passes the question to a specialist and books a convenient time.
Stays with the client after a procedure
When a client writes after a procedure, the agent doesn’t guess whether it’s normal: it brings in the cosmetologist who treated her. The next visit of the course stays in the diary unless the specialist decides otherwise.
Catches the evening enquiries
Instagram messages, WhatsApp and Telegram arrive in one inbox, and the agent answers in all of them the same way, from one price list. Evening and night messages no longer wait until morning, and your receptionist can see who is already booked.
Shymkent: local context
The third city in Kazakhstan to pass a million people, after Almaty and Astana, and the former centre of South Kazakhstan Region.
An old caravan town that grew around a citadel, and today also an industrial centre with an oil refinery and a pharmaceutical plant.
In the summer heat the city goes quiet by noon and comes alive in the evening, when people head out to parks and bazaars and messages keep coming until night.
The city keeps taking in nearby villages, many families live in private houses, and relatives from all around come to Shymkent for a toi.
In Shymkent before a toi the whole family goes to the cosmetologist: the bride, her sisters, her mother. The agent books them all on one day in neighbouring slots, answers in Kazakh, Uzbek or Russian and sends reminders the day before.

Frequently asked questions
Does the agent answer in Kazakh and Uzbek?
Yes. The client picks the language and the agent follows, answering in Kazakh, Russian, Uzbek or English. Prices, times and the address reach the client in the language they wrote in.
Can the agent tell a client whether a procedure suits them?
No. The agent can’t see the skin or know the client’s history, so it doesn’t judge. It says what a consultation costs, finds a time for it and sends the client’s question to the doctor in advance.
Does the agent know about our offers?
Yes, if you have entered them. The agent mentions an offer to anyone asking about the procedure and gives the terms exactly as you wrote them. It won’t give a discount “as a favour”: such requests go to your receptionist.
What does the agent say if a client feels unwell after a procedure?
The agent passes the message to the cosmetologist at once, with the chat history, and the client can see they have been heard. It won’t assess how they are or suggest aftercare: that is the specialist’s job.
Can the agent hold back injection prices until the consultation?
Yes. You decide which prices the agent gives. For example, cleansing and peels with prices, and injectables only after a consultation: then the agent says exactly that and offers to book one.
