A hair salon puts its booking link in its Instagram bio. Clients pick the service and time themselves, even at night, and the day's calendar is set before opening, with no messages to answer between cuts.

A Saturday cannot be saved with a paper diary
If you run a hair salon or a barbershop, this will sound familiar: Instagram and WhatsApp messages at 11pm asking "any slot on Saturday?", a paper diary only the person who wrote it can read, and clients booking through three different channels who end up duplicated or unrecorded.
Add the no-shows: the client who misses their colour appointment leaves a two-hour gap you will not fill again, precisely on your busiest day. And if you use a marketplace, some charge a commission on every new client they send you, on top of the fee: check the current rates of yours.
The result is always the same: you lose time on your phone while holding scissors, and you lose money on empty slots and commissions.
Salon scheduling app: everything your salon or barbershop needs
01
Your own booking page
A link that is yours (not a marketplace's) for your Instagram bio, Google Maps and WhatsApp. Clients pick service, professional and time, and book on their own 24/7.
02
Services with their real duration
Cut, colour, highlights, beard, event styling… each service with its price and duration, so a 30-minute cut does not block the slot of a 2-hour highlights session.
03
Automatic reminders (Starter and up)
Every appointment triggers an automatic reminder for the client. Fewer "I completely forgot", fewer empty chairs on Saturday morning.
04
Calendar per professional
Each stylist or barber with their own column and services. No more "was this appointment yours or mine?".
05
Client record with history
Which colour they had last time, how often they come, internal notes. All on your phone, not in one person's memory.
06
Session packs and passes
Sell each client their own pack (say, 5 sessions of 30 minutes): pick the pack when you book their appointment in the calendar and a session is deducted; if it is cancelled, it goes back. Their record shows how many they have left.

Do I need a card for the free trial?
No. The 14-day trial does not ask for a credit card. You create your account with your email, set up your services and hours, and decide at the end whether to continue. If you do not, you are charged nothing.
Do you charge a commission per booking?
No. BookingForNow has flat pricing: we take no percentage per booking or per new client. Some marketplace platforms do charge for each new client; check the current rates of yours.
Is there an appointment app for hair salons?
Yes — with nothing to download: BookingForNow works as a web app on any phone or computer, with no installs and no updates to keep up with. You manage your calendar from the browser and your clients book from your business link.
Do my clients need to install an app?
No. Your booking page is a web link that works on any phone or computer. Your clients open it, pick a service, day and time, and get the confirmation. No downloads, no forced sign-ups.
Does it work for a salon with several stylists or chairs?
Yes, with one column per stylist: add each professional with their own services, and the client chooses who to book with. Opening hours are set for the whole salon; days off for each stylist are marked with time blocks. The calendar is per professional, not per chair, and shows every column at once so you see the whole salon day at a glance.
