Booking software for hairdressers — online appointments
A hair salon runs on seat occupancy. Every empty chair is lost revenue, and every no-show — especially on colour or highlights — is €60 to €150 walking out the door. GlowBook is built to give hairdressers that money back: automatic WhatsApp reminders 24 hours before the appointment, optional deposits via Bancontact or iDEAL, and a waitlist that finds a new client within minutes of any cancellation.
Online booking software for hair salons
Cutting with a phone between your knees
Hands full of colour, picking up the phone isn't an option. 24/7 online booking via your link on Instagram, Google Business and your website cuts inbound calls by 60–80%. Clients pick date and time themselves, you put the phone on silent.
No-shows on colour hit hardest
Losing a 30-minute trim is annoying. Losing a 2.5-hour balayage is a disaster. Turn on per-treatment deposits (e.g. 30% on colour, €0 on cut) — clients who've paid, show up.
Get your regulars back every 6 weeks
GlowBook automatically sends a rebook reminder 6 weeks after the last visit (interval configurable per treatment). No manual follow-up, no lost clients because you forgot to chase them.
A day with GlowBook in a hair salon
Anna opens her salon in the morning. The GlowBook calendar is on the iPad by the till: 9:30 cut, 10:00 highlights (60% deposit paid), 14:00 colour-and-cut. Between clients a booking comes in via her Instagram link — WhatsApp confirmation fires automatically. At 15:00 a client cancels through the link in her confirmation email; within 3 minutes a waitlist client claims the slot. Revenue saved.
FAQs about appointment software for hairdressers
Can I set a different deposit per treatment?+
Yes. For a simple cut you might charge nothing; for colour or balayage, set a percentage (e.g. 30%) or a fixed amount. Clients see the amount clearly during the booking flow.
Does it work with multiple hairdressers in one salon?+
Yes, with the Team plan (€39/mo). Each stylist has their own calendar and availability. Clients pick their preferred stylist at booking, or choose 'no preference' to take the first available slot.
Can a client lock in a specific colour code online?+
Add an intake form to your colour treatments with fields like 'Previous colour', 'Allergies' or 'Desired result'. The info is ready in your dashboard when the client arrives.
