Taking online bookings for a beauty salon
A calendar per stylist or beautician, services with set durations and one link for your social media bio.
Guides by type of business
A beauty salon has services of varying length, several specialists working at once and clients who book at all hours. 4appointments gives you a public booking page and a calendar per provider. It is a scheduling tool: you confirm each request yourself, and payment and client messages are handled outside it.
Add each specialist (stylist, nail technician, beautician) as a provider with their own weekly schedule. Use “Availability” for exceptions, days off and blocks, and set a daily cap if a person should not take more than a certain number of bookings. Create your services with a name, duration and price, such as a haircut, colouring or a manicure, and use the pause field to leave time after a booking for cleaning and preparation.
Every service is shown for every provider, so name services clearly and tell clients by phone if a certain person does not offer one. Clients choose a specialist or the option “Any available person”, which you can turn off, and see only free times.
Copy the salon’s public link, or the separate link of a single specialist, and put it in your Instagram bio, on your Facebook page and on your website. Clients book at any hour without an account, and the page shows your salon’s name, logo and colour. The language of the page follows the link, so check it before you share it.
Each request arrives as pending and holds the slot. Confirm or reject it in the Bookings section, then tell the client yourself by phone or message, because the tool sends no confirmation or reminder. If you want a deposit for longer services such as colour or extensions, arrange it outside the tool and confirm only once you have received it.
Points to remember
- ✓A separate calendar and weekly schedule for every specialist
- ✓One link for the salon and one link for each person
- ✓Each request is confirmed by you, and the client is told through your own channel
Common questions
Can photos of my work be shown on the booking page?+
Not at present. The page shows your salon’s name, logo and colour, plus the list of services. Share your photos on your website or social media instead.
Will clients be able to see ratings or reviews?+
No, the booking page has no ratings or reviews. Reviews stay on the platforms where you already collect them.
