MEET YOUR VERY HELPFUL BUSINESS ASSISTANT
The calendar shuffle. The client follow-up. The “I’ll figure it out tonight.” Talk it through with Sage—an assistant inside Comb that can use your business records and help you get things done.
There’s a lot you can ask
SAGE LIVE BETA
Talk to Sage out loud. Ask about your next client, think through a quieter week, or work through a business question without typing the whole thing out.
Sage Live draws on the same Comb capabilities and conversation memory as typed Sage. Work that needs your approval still comes back to you for review.
“What does my day look like tomorrow?”
ONE WAY TO START THE CONVERSATION
SAGE MATCH BETA
Your clients shouldn’t need to speak fluent service menu. Sage Match helps them turn what they want into a booking that makes sense, right on your Comb booking site.
“I want softer, lived-in color. What should I book?”
AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE THE CONVERSATION STARTS
Clients answer your published questions and add details in their own words. When you enable photos, they can share their current look and inspiration, with permission.
Sage interprets their goal and compares eligible services using your descriptions, service guidance, and optional photos. Relevant add-ons can be suggested alongside the service.
Clients see a short list with reasons, price where shown, duration, and any caveats. They choose what to take into booking. When your guidance or their needs call for it, a consultation can be the starting point.
THE SIGNALS BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
Comb tracks which services Sage suggests, what clients choose, and whether they finish the match. Those insights help you understand the booking journey. Recommendations use the client’s goals and the guidance you’ve added to your service menu.
SMALL BUSINESS. VERY CAPABLE ASSISTANT.
Start with what you need. These are example prompts, not magic words—ask in your own voice, then keep the conversation going.
CALENDAR & BOOKING
Check your schedule, find an opening, prepare a booking, move appointments, or protect some personal time.
“What does my schedule look like tomorrow?”
CLIENTS & CARE
Look up visit history and notes, find clients due back, and prepare updates to profiles, preferences, tags, and the waitlist.
“Which clients are overdue for their usual return visit?”
ANSWERS & REPORTS
Explore revenue, tips, appointments, cancellations, and service activity. Ask for a downloadable CSV when you need to take the detail with you.
“How is this month going compared with last month?”
MARKETING & MESSAGING
Prepare campaign ideas, client audiences, and personal messages. Review the people and the wording before anything goes out.
“Draft a campaign for slow days this week.”
SERVICES, FORMS & FOLLOW-UP
Prepare services, packages, intake forms, waivers, and follow-up automations from a description of what you need.
“Create a color consultation form with hair history and color goals.”
EXPENSES & STOCK
Prepare one-off or recurring expenses, ask about recorded supply spending, and see which products need attention based on your saved stock levels.
“Add a recurring $850 monthly studio-rent expense. Show me first.”
TREATMENT NOTES & CHARTING
Build treatment-note templates and prepare appointment charts from the details you supply. Review the client, visit, and complete note before saving.
“Create a treatment-note template with observations, homecare, and a face map.”
MEMBERSHIP OFFERS
Describe a recurring offer and have Sage prepare the membership for review, including your price, billing schedule, and included services. Recurring billing requires Bee Paid.
“Draft an $85 monthly cut club with one Signature Cut & Style visit and no rollover.”
HOURS & BOOKING RULES
Understand what clients can book, investigate missing availability, and review changes to working hours, booking rules, and Breathe settings.
“Why might clients not be seeing appointment times?”
PRICING & DECISION LAB
Explore scenarios for service prices, open time, working hours, client recovery, and cancellations. See the assumptions before making a change.
“What if I raised my haircut price by $5?”
MOMENTUM & WATCH
Build a plan around a business goal, track steps and check-ins, and have Watch look for changes that matter to the plan.
“Help me work toward an extra $500 this month without another workday.”
Some tools depend on your setup and available business history. Sage prepares changes for review; you decide what gets applied or sent.
FROM “I NEED…” TO “LET ME SEE.”
Ask for a color consultation form. Describe a new service. Work out a follow-up. Sage can prepare the details inside Comb, so you have something concrete to review.
Use your own words and add the details that matter.
Check what Sage prepared and ask for adjustments.
Confirm the change when it’s right for your business.
SAGE, RIGHT WHERE YOU CREATE
Inside lash and brow mapping, Sage can help prepare a starting draft from a client photo, inspiration image, or labeled map. Review the suggestions, refine the placement, and keep the professional decisions yours.
Comb’s dedicated hair extension maps record rows, individual pieces, and maintenance details. Head and face maps keep other placement and treatment records close, too.

Lashes on the tablet. Face mapping on the phone. The actual tools, ready for your next detail.
SAGE COLOR PREVIEW · FORMULAS BETA
“A little warmer” is easier to talk about when you can see it. Upload a clear client photo and let Sage preview the hair-color direction from your completed formula. Switch between the original and the preview during the consultation.
A consultation visual, not a promised result. Actual color depends on the starting hair, porosity, product chemistry, timing, and strand testing. You review the formula and make the professional decisions.

Starting point: brunette Goal: soft, warm dimension

Color total 30 g
Soft warmth, with a little depth at the root. Keep the face frame subtle next time.
LESS REINTRODUCING YOURSELF
Sage gets to know how you like to work through the preferences and goals you share. That context carries across typed conversations, Sage Live, and Momentum.
Tell Sage you like short answers or warm, straightforward client copy. Stated preferences can carry into later conversations.
Share the longer-term goals and working preferences that matter to you, so the next conversation has a little more context.
For appointments, client details, prices, and totals, Sage checks your current Comb records. Remembering your preferences is different from remembering an old number.
TRY TELLING SAGE
“I prefer short, friendly client messages. My long-term goal is a four-day workweek.”
Your preferences add context. They never replace your approval.
FOR THE BUSINESS YOU WANT NEXT
DECISION LAB
Explore a price change, a different working week, or filling open time. Sage helps you look at the assumptions and a range of possible results before you commit.
Scenarios help you explore choices. They aren’t promises of future revenue.
MOMENTUM & WATCH
Turn a goal into steps, check-ins, and progress you can revisit. Watch can flag changes such as bookings slowing, overdue clients, or a goal slipping off pace.
You choose the goal and review the work. Sage helps you keep the thread.
HELP BEFORE YOU EVEN ASK
Sage also surfaces useful signals in My Hive and client profiles. Notice who’s past their usual return time, then bring their story into the next conversation.
FROM YOUR MY HIVE DASHBOARD
A familiar face hasn’t been back. Sage helps you notice.
