For hair salons
A booking website that does the booking work. Per-stylist calendars and commission-friendly checkout, service durations that match the trade (color, cuts, treatments), deposits that protect chair time, and a gallery that shows the work. With 0% platform markup.
Templates
Designed booking websites, each with a different mood. Same booking engine underneath. Pick the one that matches the room.
Designed first
Three templates designed for how a salon reads. Velvet Theory is moody jewel-tone with constant gold accents, dramatic and editorial. Petale is blush and rose with champagne-gold script. Lush Studio is cream and sage with handwritten script and soft surfaces. Pick the mood the salon already has and the booking is wired in underneath.
Per-stylist calendars
Each stylist sets their own hours, services, and policies, and only sees their own calendar. Clients pick the stylist they want when they book. Commission tracking shows what each stylist earned per appointment, with separate Stripe payouts when you want them.
Trade-true durations
A balayage takes 3 hours. A buzz cut takes 20 minutes. A keratin treatment takes 90 minutes plus a 30-minute development. Every service has its own real duration, with processing time and buffer built in. Clients see real openings, not estimated ones, so two stylists are not waiting on the same color station at the same time.
Deposits + cancellation rules
A 3-hour color session lost to a no-show is rent. Deposits sized per service, with cancellation rules enforced on the booking flow. Late-cancel and no-show fees charged automatically to the card on file. Most salons see no-show rates drop 40-60% in the first month on BookReady.
Recurring appointments
Clients on a 4-week cycle book once, and the next 12 appointments roll forward automatically. Color cycle, root touch-up, fill schedules all built into the booking flow as recurring options. Clients can change cadence themselves, you keep control of late changes outside your cancellation window.
No-cost migration
We import your services, hours, stylists, and client list. Same day, free, included on every plan. You keep your standing recurring fills, your phone numbers, your everything. The first week on BookReady feels like the next week on whatever you were on before.
