What this call demonstrates
The most ordinary call here, and the one that happens most often. Two moments repay listening: the assistant volunteers that the requested stylist is away rather than offering a slot after the holiday, and it does not answer “is he any good?”.
How it endsBooked with a different stylist; the wish for Ms Farrow noted for the salon.

The call, turn by turn
These calls are scripted and run entirely in your browser. There is no telephony connection. Where a recording is on file, it is played from our own server; otherwise the reading voice built into your device takes over — that one sounds very different from device to device, and it is not the sound of the assistant.

Assistant
Rowan Hair Studio, good evening. The salon's already closed — I can book you in. I'll take a few notes, just say so if you'd rather I didn't. What are you after?
Notice about the transcript
Caller
I'd like an appointment with Ms Farrow. Cut and color.
Assistant
I'll have to disappoint you there: Ms Farrow is away for three weeks from Monday, and after that she's booked up until the middle of the month after next. I can put you on her waiting list. Or I could look at Mr Doyle — he'd have something this week.
Calendar — Farrow: three weeks off, then booked out until the middle of the month after next
Caller
Is Doyle any good?
Assistant
That's not for me to judge, and I'm not allowed to recommend anyone here. What the diary says: he's been doing color for eight years, and Ms Farrow has him down as her stand-in. The rest is your call.
Limit reached
Caller
Alright, I'll give him a try. Late afternoon if possible.

Mr Doyle has Thursday at quarter past four, Friday at five — or Saturday at half three. The salon allows two hours for a cut and color.
Calendar — Doyle: Thu 4:15 PM, Fri 5:00 PM, Sat 3:30 PM free
Caller
Friday, five o'clock.
Assistant
Certainly. Your name and a number for the confirmation?
Caller
Chloe Newman, (206) 555-0404.
Assistant
Booked: Friday, five till seven, with Mr Doyle. Confirmation goes out by text to (206) 555-0404 — the salon's cancellation policy is in there too.
Calendar — booked: Fri 5:00 PM–7:00 PM · Doyle · cut and color · new client

Perfect, thanks.

Note handed to the business
- Caller
- Chloe Newman, (206) 555-0404 — new client
- Request
- Cut and color, originally wanted with Ms Farrow
- Appointment
- Fri 5:00 PM–7:00 PM with Mr Doyle (in the calendar, confirmed by text)
- For the salon
- She asked for Ms Farrow. If something frees up there, the call is worth making.
The least dramatic call in this set, and the most common one: an appointment booked without anybody in the salon picking up the phone. Two moments are still worth noting — the assistant volunteered that the requested stylist was away rather than offering a slot after the holiday, and it did not answer "is he any good".
