UAE Founding Salon Pilot

Your salon's WhatsApp receptionist — using only information you approve.

Join Saponly's UAE Founding Salon Pilot. We configure your services, prices, hours and policies, help you test it safely, and you use it free for 30 days from the day you go live.

Founding price: $99 a month, locked for your first 12 paid months.

What it does — and what it refuses to do

  • Answers only from information your salon has approved.
  • Asks your team rather than guessing when live availability or a staff schedule is involved.
  • Never confirms a booking without your approval.
  • Hands anything uncertain or sensitive to your team.
  • Works in English and Arabic.
  • Founder-assisted setup. Cancel any time.

This is for you if

  • You are a UAE salon getting repeat WhatsApp enquiries.
  • You can approve your own service, price and policy information.
  • You are willing to give honest feedback during the pilot.

This is not for you if

  • You want the AI to confirm bookings automatically, with no human check.
  • You need medical diagnosis or treatment advice.
  • You offer services we cannot support under our published policy.
  • You cannot provide accurate source information for the AI to answer from.
  • You expect it to invent live schedule data it does not have.

What a Founding Salon gets

  • Priority onboarding — we aim to have you set up within 48 hours of receiving your complete salon information and technical prerequisites.
  • Founder-assisted setup — we load your services and connect WhatsApp with you.
  • A direct line to the founder, not a ticket queue.
  • Price protection: your price is held for your first 12 paid months, even if the public price changes.

What it costs — before you apply

Founding price

$99/mo

or $990 a year, paid up front

Locked for your first 12 paid months. After that it moves to the then-current regular price — $149 a month today — with at least 30 days' notice.

30 days free from the day you go live. No Saponly card to start — Meta still needs a payment method on your own WhatsApp account, and its message charges can apply during the free period. Your first paid month is refundable under our refund policy, and you can cancel any time.

Any WhatsApp charges billed by Meta for your own number are separate from Saponly's price.

Being straight with you

Saponly is built and run by Shakib, working from Bangladesh. We do not have a Dubai office or a UAE phone number. We have no salon customers yet — you would be among the first — so there are no testimonials here, because we will not invent them. What we can show you is the working product.

Our demo salon is a fictional salon we created for testing. It is not a real customer.

Apply for the pilot

We onboard you on WhatsApp — no long email chains.

A rough band is fine — it helps us see whether Saponly would actually save you time.
