Taking online bookings for your beauty salon
A calendar per stylist, services with set durations and one link to put in your social media bio.
By type of business
A beauty salon has services of different lengths, several specialists working at once and customers who book at all hours. 4appointments gives you a public booking page and a calendar per provider. It’s a scheduling tool: you confirm each request yourself, and payment and customer 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 shouldn’t take more than a certain number of bookings.
Create your services with name, duration and price, for example a haircut, coloring or a manicure. Use the pause field to leave time after a booking for cleanup and preparation. Every service is shown for every provider, so name them clearly and tell customers by phone if a certain person doesn’t offer one.
Copy the public link of the salon, or the separate link of a single specialist, and put it in your Instagram or Facebook bio, on your website and in your messages. Customers book at any hour without an account. The page shows your salon’s name, logo and color, and “Anyone available” lets the customer skip choosing someone.
Each request arrives as pending and holds the slot. Confirm or reject it in the bookings section, then tell the customer yourself by phone or message, because the tool sends no confirmation. Pending requests nobody handles are canceled quietly about an hour after their time ends. If you want a deposit for longer services, arrange it outside the tool and confirm only once you’ve received it.
