Features · Online booking
A booking page with your name on it.
Clients book themselves at any hour, on their phone, from times that are really free. Put the link in your Instagram bio, on Google and behind your website’s Book now button.
14 days free. No card needed.
Times that are really free
The page only offers times inside each stylist’s hours, clear of their appointments, breaks and blocked time. Clients pick their services, a stylist or anyone, and a time.
- How much notice you need, and how far ahead clients can book
- How often start times are offered, and times right next to other appointments to reduce gaps
- Which services are online, and specials offered only for a while
- A welcome message, and a message after they book
Your salon’s look
Your logo, cover photo and colour, a gallery of your work and your social links. Times are always your salon’s, the same as your calendar.
Deposits, a card on file, or approval first
Ask for a deposit, full payment or a card on file, from everyone or new clients only. Or approve bookings before they’re confirmed: a request holds the time until you answer it.
Clients manage their own bookings
Every confirmation and reminder has a private link where clients confirm, add it to their calendar, move it or cancel it inside the cutoff you choose, or ask you when it’s too late. A client area lets them sign in with a code to see and rebook their appointments, and book for their family.
Linked from everywhere
Share your booking page’s address, add a Book now button to your website, link straight to one service, and add Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel if you use them.
Questions
Do clients need an account to book?
No. Clients book with their name, email and mobile. If you turn on the client area, returning clients can sign in with a code instead of typing their details.
Are there booking fees?
No. Online booking is on the one plan, with no fee for each booking and no commission on new clients.
Can clients cancel online?
Outside your cutoff, from their booking link. Inside it, they ask you, and any fee is your call. A deposit stays on their account as credit for next time.
Can I check new clients before they’re booked?
Yes. Approve online bookings first, from everyone or new clients only. A request holds the time until you approve or decline it.
Does it stop my team booking in the calendar?
No. Online booking rules only apply to the booking page and clients’ links. Your team can book any time in the calendar.
