Online booking for salons

Salon & barbershop scheduling software

Salon and barbershop scheduling software that keeps the chairs booked. Clients book online at any hour, each service blocks its true length on the calendar, and reminders go out before every appointment.

Salon booking around the clock

The booking page lists only times a service fits, so a quick cut and a full color never book the same slot. Confirmation is instant or waits for your OK, and questions such as hair length or color history come in with the request.

Online booking

A calendar for every stylist

Every stylist's appointments show in their own color, so week view makes a free chair easy to spot. Drag an appointment to move it and the client is told the new time.

Calendar scheduling

Walk-ins and phone bookings

Add a walk-in from the calendar in a few taps. Calls you miss while cutting can be answered by the AI receptionist, which books open times for you to approve.

Reminders and rebooking

A text or email reminds clients the night before and on the morning itself. A rebooking reminder can go out when they are due back, for example six weeks after a cut.

Rebooking reminders

Client notes and formulas

Color formulas and preferences go in fields on the client, so whoever takes the next appointment sees them.

Questions about barbershop appointment software

Can clients book appointments online 24/7?

Yes. Booking stays open around the clock, and a client can only pick a time long enough for the service.

Can clients choose their stylist?

Not when booking online. The booking arrives for the service and time, and you assign the stylist on the calendar.

Does it send appointment reminders?

Yes. Clients are reminded by text or email the night before and again on the day.

Can I take a deposit to prevent no-shows?

Not at online booking. For long services such as extensions, a signed estimate with a paid deposit secures the slot first.

Can two clients book the same time online?

No. Online booking holds one appointment per time slot for each location, so a multi-chair salon adds the extra bookings from the calendar.

Can I block lunch breaks and days off?

Yes. Set a break in your hours or block time on the calendar to close it for booking, and approved time off marks a stylist as off when you assign.

Can clients cancel or reschedule online?

From the client portal they can request a new time or a cancellation, which waits for your OK. Clients without a login just answer the reminder text.

Is there a plan for a one-chair barber?

Solo, at $19 a month, gives one chair its own booking page, calendar and reminders, and the scheduling app pins to your phone from the browser.
