Hair salon — Salon Lorena

Appointa for hair salons — in practice

A hair salon day mixes quick and long services: a thirty-minute men's cut, a two-hour colour and highlights that take half the afternoon. Clients come back on their own rhythm, and mostly to their own stylist. Appointa gives every service its real duration and every stylist their own calendar, shifts and services — so online booking only offers what can actually be done.

Highlights before closing time

A client wants highlights on Friday and the stylist works until 7 pm. Online, Appointa only offers times when the whole service fits into her shift and ends before her next appointment — no bookings that run past closing and no overlap with the next client.

Roots every four weeks

A client who colours her roots every four weeks doesn't need to call each time. Turn her appointment into a recurring one — same day, time and stylist — and Appointa books the dates ahead, before anyone else takes that time. Recurring appointments are available on the Pro and Premium plans.

Colour formula on the booking

Note the colour formula and preferred length in the client's record, and a PPD sensitivity under Allergies. Open her appointment in the web calendar and the red warning and notes are right there — so even a colleague seeing her for the first time knows what she's working with.

Bookings 24/7, no phone calls

Your page appointa.hr/s/your-salon works while the salon sleeps. Put the link on Instagram and your Google profile — clients pick the service, person and time themselves.

Fewer empty slots

An automatic reminder the day before, through the channel the client has — in the app, by SMS with the add-on enabled, or by e-mail. If someone cancels, the waitlist offers the slot to the next client right away.

The whole team's calendar

Shifts, holidays, days off — everyone sees their own, you see everything. Regulars? A recurring appointment in two clicks.

The questions that come up first

Can a client book her own stylist online?

Yes. When booking, she chooses from the stylists assigned to that service and sees only that stylist's free times. If she picks “Any staff member” and her client record lists a preferred stylist, Appointa assigns that stylist whenever she's free at that time. That way regulars don't get scattered across the whole team.

The price of colour depends on hair length. What do I put in the price list?

For that service you switch off the price display and add a note in place of the amount, e.g. “depends on hair length and thickness”. Clients see the note, while you and your team still see the base price. Keep in mind that promo codes and gift vouchers can't be applied online to services with a hidden price.

Our stylists alternate mornings and afternoons and work every other Saturday. Can Appointa handle that?

Yes. Each shift can apply every week, only in even weeks or only in odd weeks — so one stylist gets mornings in even weeks and afternoons in odd weeks, and the other the reverse. Saturdays work the same way. A day can also have a split shift, and online bookings are offered only within shifts.

My clients are older — they won't use apps.

They don't install anything — they book through a regular web page. And the ones who'd rather call? You add their appointment in a couple of clicks and everything else works the same: reminder, history, calendar.

How long does setup take?

Open an account in 5 minutes; the wizard walks you through opening hours, services and your team. Import existing clients from Excel — no retyping.

What about no-shows?

Mark the appointment as a no-show and Appointa keeps the history per client. Day-before reminders cut most no-shows anyway.
