AI Receptionist for Nail Techs: How Beside Helps Tyna Block Scam Calls and Capture Bookings Hands-Free

The problem

As a solo nail technician, Tyna cannot interrupt client sessions to answer calls. Running Google and Instagram ads exposed her phone number and flooded it with scam calls, requiring her to mentally vet every caller — adding cognitive load on top of an already demanding hands-on job.
