For hair salons
The chair is paid for by the hour, not by the cut
A colour is two hours of chair time and a trim is twenty minutes, and both belong to the same afternoon. Publish every slot at the length it actually runs, take the deposit up front, and stop losing a Saturday to someone who never turned up.

Twenty minutes and two hours on one day, with no half-hour grid to fight.
What eats your Saturday
None of the three is fixed by writing things down faster.
The grid does not fit a colour
Most booking tools make you pick one appointment length. On a half-hour grid a balayage swallows four boxes and a fringe trim wastes twenty-five minutes.
The Saturday no-show
Eleven o’clock on a Saturday does not come back. Nobody is waiting at the door at that hour, and the chair sits still for two hours with a colourist beside it.
Answering messages with wet hands
Bookings arrive by text, by Instagram and through the door, and you write them down between shampoos. Afterwards nobody is sure who has eleven on Saturday.
What helps most, in order
Starting with the thing that decides whether the afternoon pays.
Every slot runs as long as you say
There is no one appointment length for the whole business. You publish 9:00 to 9:20 for a cut and 9:30 to 11:30 for a colour, and each window you publish is exactly one appointment. The grid bends to the service instead of the other way round.
A deposit before the colour
Switch the deposit on once: set the amount, the currency and your transfer details. The client uploads the receipt and you approve or reject it with the image in front of you. Until you approve, the booking reads deposit pending.
The one who walks in
You add her by hand, with a name and no account, and she is filed at the time she arrived. The public list only offers hours that have not started yet, so the one under way is not bookable anyway; and if she is going to take the whole afternoon, you close that stretch from the panel and those hours come off the list.
The queue for Saturday
When Saturday is full, she joins the list anyway. If somebody cancels, the freed slot goes out by email to everyone waiting and the first one in keeps it.
The email the day before
It goes out on its own the day before, with the day and the time. Most people who miss an appointment did not change their mind: they forgot.
The dashboard keeps itself current
When someone books or cancels, your screen shows it without a reload. That is the difference when there is a tablet on the desk and you are at the basin.
How it works
Three steps, and the middle one is no longer yours.
- 1
Your dashboard
Publish your hours
Set your week once: which days you work and at what hours, how long an appointment lasts and the break you want between them, and your hours are split into times clients can book. Services can each have their own length. Then add the one-off dates and the days you are closed.
- 2
What your client sees
Your clients book themselves
At any hour, from their own account. They pick a slot that is open and the booking is taken then and there, with the day and the time in their own list. Two people cannot end up with the same slot: the database refuses the second booking outright, rather than leaving you to catch it afterwards.

Your dashboard
You collect the deposit and the calendar fills
If you ask for a deposit, the client transfers the money and uploads the receipt, and the deposit is settled once you approve it from your dashboard. A reminder goes out the day before and, if someone cancels, the waitlist hears about it by email.
The first thing we hear
“My clients message me. They are not going to use a website.”
The ones who message you will keep messaging you, and you add those yourself from your own page: switch guest booking on and fill in their name and email, which is how a future appointment gets entered. What changes is everybody else: the one who writes on a Sunday night, the one who gives up waiting for a reply, and the one who wants Saturday and has not asked yet. She books herself, sees only the hours you published, and cannot end up with one that is taken.

Common questions
What people ask before they start.
Does it work if there are three of us in the salon?
Each professional gets their own account, their own calendar and their own link. There is no salon-wide grid with three columns and a front desk dividing the work up: that is three accounts and three pages. If you work alone or you rent a chair, this is exactly it. If you want one grid covering three colourists, we are not that yet.
Can I ask for a deposit on a colour but not on a cut?
Not today. The deposit is a single setting on your calendar: you switch it on, set one amount and one currency, and it applies to everything booked with you. Most people set it at the lowest figure worth collecting. We would rather say so here than have you find out on the first Saturday.
Where do I put my price list?
In your service description, which is what a client reads before choosing a time. There is no catalogue with a price per service, because the app schedules hours rather than charging for the work. The only money it touches is the deposit, and that goes straight to your account.
Do my clients need an account?
That is up to you. Switch guest booking on — it arrives switched off — and a name and an email are enough: no account, no password, the booking is confirmed by email, and that same link is how they cancel. Leave it off and the client creates an account with a confirmed email address, and in exchange sees all their bookings in one place and cancels the ones they cannot make. Either way, they get the reminder by email the day before.
How do deposits work?
You decide whether to ask for a deposit, how much, and in which currency, and you write the transfer instructions your clients see. They transfer the money and upload the receipt; you look at it and approve or reject it from your dashboard. Until you approve it, the receipt shows as pending.
What happens when someone cancels?
Your dashboard updates without a reload. If nobody is waiting on that day, the slot goes back on the public list immediately. If people are queued, the freed slot is emailed to the first few of them and held for half an hour: for that stretch it is offered to nobody else, and the first of them to take it keeps it. If none of them does, it goes back on the public list.
Can I plug it into my website or my calendar?
Yes. There is a widget to paste into your page, so clients book without leaving your site, and an ICS feed you subscribe to from Google Calendar, Outlook or your phone. The feed is read-only: appointments flow into your calendar, but what you put in Google does not block hours here.
Does it work if I also see people without a booking?
Yes. Whoever turns up unbooked you enter by hand, with a name and no account, and they are filed at the time they arrived. And if you want air between two appointments, set a break between appointments in your schedule, and those minutes never reach whoever is booking.
How much does it cost?
The first 30 days are free, with everything included and no card. After that it is a flat monthly subscription: the same price whether you take ten appointments or two hundred, with no commission per booking or per deposit. If you decide not to continue, nothing is charged and your data stays where it is.
