Server-side guardrails
Example rules to review and configure for your deployment.
Beauty and spa work lives close to skin, allergies, and the medical lines a cosmetologist legally cannot cross. The panel below illustrates industry rules, custom rules, and intended boundaries. Configured checks target recognized patterns; they can miss context or flag harmless content. Confirm the active rules and test them for your deployment. Example messages are illustrative and must be adapted to your services and escalation workflow.

Hard limits
Intended boundaries for the configured rules. Detection and handoff are not guaranteed.
- Do not offer or schedule injectables, fillers, or medical-grade procedures that require a licensed provider
- Do not make a medical claim about treating, curing, or healing a skin condition
- Configure routing for reactions, allergies, and emergencies to a person or 911
- Do not guarantee a result or quote a price over chat
Your custom rules
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your salon or spa. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
- BLOCKoff-topic chat that isn't your salon or spa
- WARNbefore anyone is quoted a price for a service
- LOGwhen a guest asks for a specific stylist by name
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, your state’s cosmetology-board and FDA cosmetic-labeling rules, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Know which lead to call back first.
With an enabled integration, Fred can send lead scores and conversation summaries to your system. For example, your team can prioritize the client ready to book Saturday. Delivery depends on your configuration and the receiving system.
Salon & beauty questions.
Why won’t Fred quote a price or guarantee a result?
Color and skin results vary by person, so a price or promise Fred can’t honor becomes a complaint in the chair. Fred captures the request and books your team, who set expectations in the consultation. Configure and test the relevant rules; checks can miss phrasing or context.
Will Fred handle Botox or filler requests?
No. Injectables and medical-grade procedures require a licensed medical provider and sit outside cosmetology scope. Fred shares general information and routes those to the right team.
What happens if a client reports a reaction?
Configured patterns can surface resource messages and request team attention. Detection can miss context, and a notification does not guarantee receipt or response. For urgent help, contact the appropriate emergency or specialist service directly; do not wait for this chat.
Can it book an appointment?
Fred captures inquiry details and sends them through your configured handoff. Delivery timing depends on the integration and receiving system. Direct calendar booking depends on the scheduling tools you already run. Our training videos show you how to connect them, or you can add a paid setup.
