A booking system for your salon, built around your stylists
Clients book you on a marketplace that shows them your competitors, and the commission grows with every visit. We build booking systems for beauty salons, barbers and nail studios: online booking per stylist, deposits that cut no-shows, gift cards and payments, with the code and client list owned by you.
The prototype and the quote are free, with no commitment.

Admin panel
How does your team run it?
The front desk and the stylists work in one panel: the day by stylist, clients, deposits and payments.

What it can include
What can a booking system for beauty salons and barbers do?
You don't have to order everything at once. Start with booking and payments.
Online booking per stylist
Clients pick a service, a stylist and a time. Each service has its own length and price, and a colour and a cut can be booked as one visit.
How the Time-slot generator module worksStylist schedules
Working hours, breaks and days off per stylist and per chair, in one calendar for the front desk.
Reminders
SMS and email reminders with a link to confirm or move the visit, so a freed slot goes back on sale.
Client cards
Each client's past visits, colour formulas, notes and photos, visible to the stylist before the visit.
Your own booking page
A booking page in your brand, linked from Instagram, Google Maps and your website, with no competitors next to you.
Several salons
One system for all locations, with clients and gift cards shared between them.
When it makes sense
When is your own system worth it?
A ready-made platform is a good start. If it does all you need, stay with it. Your own system makes sense when:
- Clients book you on a marketplace that lists your competitors
- No-shows cost you hours every week
- You run several salons or rent chairs to stylists
- Commission or per-stylist fees grow with the salon
Compared with SaaS
What do beauty salons and barbers gain over a SaaS platform?
A platform is rented and shared. Your own system is built for you and owned by you.
Your clients
On a SaaS platform: The marketplace shows your clients other salons nearby.
With your own system: Clients book on your page, in your brand, and stay yours.
Cost
On a SaaS platform: Commission on new clients and fees per stylist grow with the salon.
With your own system: One fixed price, with no commission and no per-stylist fees.
No-shows
On a SaaS platform: Deposits follow the rules the platform allows.
With your own system: Deposits and no-show fees work the way you set them, per service.
Client history
On a SaaS platform: Notes and formulas sit in the vendor's app.
With your own system: Every client's history lives in your own database.

Questions
What do owners ask first?

Yes. Your booking page has its own link, which you put on Instagram, Google Maps and your website. Clients book in a few taps on their phone.
The price depends on the scope and is fixed before the build starts. Most projects fall between $15k and $50k. It is a one-time cost, with no subscription and no commission on bookings.
You get a clickable prototype and a quote within 48 hours of the brief. The build takes two to three weeks, and the system is live six to eight weeks after the first call, including migration and handover.
We move your customers, bookings and history into the new system, even when the current provider has no export. The old tool keeps running until the data matches, so bookings never stop.
You do. The code, the data and the documentation are handed over. It runs in your own cloud account or on our infrastructure, and 3 years of support are included.
