Our verdict
Beau makes sense if you already run your salon or spa on Boulevard, since it reads your menu, hours and policies with no extra setup. It does not book during the call: it texts a booking link or hands off to staff, and it can't handle memberships, packages, gift cards or group bookings.
Pros
- No training needed: pulls your service menu, hours and policies from Boulevard
- Runs 24/7, as backup for missed calls or after hours only
- Usage is free through November 2026 while in beta
Cons
- Sends a booking link instead of booking on the call
- Needs a Boulevard subscription (from $143/mo) on top of $125/mo per location
- Can't handle memberships, packages, gift cards, group or multi-location bookings
