Best AI Receptionist for Spas & Massage (2026)

The best AI phone receptionist for a day spa, massage studio, or wellness clinic is the one that books into your existing system (Mindbody, Booker, Zenoti, Vagaro) and runs real intake — therapist gender, pressure, modality, room. AgentZap and Clara AI lead the turnkey pack; Fresha and Zenoti win if you already use their suite. The honest catch: none take a deposit card on the call, and the spa-focused tools here mostly just book and send reminders rather than collect a deposit at all.
