What the other guys won't tell you

You already know the
incumbents. Here's what they cost.

We won't name them. You will. Three platforms own this market, and every salon owner we've spoken to has the same complaints. We built Mahi Time to fix every single one.

20% commission on every new client the marketplace sends you. Forever. They never become "your" customer.

A flat monthly fee. The customer is yours from day one. Their data lives in your account.

Per-chair pricing. Your part-time Saturday stylist costs the same as your full-timer.

NZ$129/mo for your first three team members. NZ$19 each after that. That is the whole price list.

Quote-only pricing. Sales call, demo call, then a number that changes depending on who you spoke to.

Price on the website. No sales call. Sign up in 30 seconds, decide in 30 days.

No public API. Want bookings on your own website? Hire someone to scrape theirs.

Documented, versioned, free REST API. Build your own booking flow, push into Xero, integrate your POS.

AI receptionist is a NZ$249/mo add-on that books outside your conflict rules.

AI voice agent uses the same scheduling engine as the admin panel. Add-on, not bolted-on.

20¢ markup on every SMS, on top of the carrier fee.

Send-as-you-go SMS at cost. First hundred each month are on us.

Add on, not bolted on

The AI receptionist that
actually books the appointment.

Phone rings while you're with a client. The agent picks up in your business name, checks live availability, books the slot, and texts the customer their confirmation. It uses the same scheduling engine as the admin panel, so it can't double-book or violate your closures. Hands off to a human the moment it's asked to.

  • NZ$129/mo, covers up to two locations and unlimited staff.
  • Powered by ElevenLabs voice and GPT, tuned to your services.
  • Books straight into the same calendar your team uses.
  • Optional after-hours mode so the calls you would have missed turn into bookings overnight.

Hi, can I get a balayage with Mia next Saturday?

FAQ

The questions we get asked
on the demo call.

Do I have to commit to a contract?

No. Cancel anytime from the admin panel. We refund any unused portion of the month you cancel in.

Will you take a cut of bookings?

Never. We charge a flat monthly fee. The customer is yours. Their data is yours. There is no marketplace, so there is nothing for us to charge a commission on.

I am switching from another platform. Can I bring my customers across?

Yes. CSV import for customers and bookings is built in. If your current platform exports it, we can ingest it. We have a free migration helper for the three biggest incumbents.

Can I take payments and deposits?

Yes. Stripe Connect Express handles onboarding in about five minutes. Funds land in your bank, not ours. Standard Stripe rates with no Mahi Time markup on top.

How does the AI voice agent know my services and prices?

It reads the same database the admin panel uses. When you add a service, change a price, or block out a day, the agent knows within seconds. No retraining.

What about my data?

Stored in AWS Sydney. Backed up nightly. Export it anytime in CSV or via the public API. If you ever leave, you take everything with you.

Do you support more than one location?

Yes, on every plan. One calendar across two, five, or twenty shops. Per-location hours, staff rosters and reports.

How is this different from the platforms most NZ salons already use?

Flat monthly fee instead of marketplace commission. A real public API instead of a closed garden. A voice agent built into the scheduling engine instead of a $250/mo bolt-on. Pricing published on the website instead of a sales call.

Ready when you are
