Common questions about LushLane

Can clients book through WhatsApp or Instagram?

Yes. Your booking link works from Instagram, Facebook and a WhatsApp chat button, and every route writes into the same live diary.

Do I get a website with LushLane?

Yes — a free one-page salon website with your services, prices, photos, hours, map and a live booking button, hosted on lushlane.co.uk and indexed by Google.

How long does setup take?

About an hour for a typical salon: add services and prices, invite staff, upload photos and share your booking link. Your salon website goes live at the same time.

Can I import my clients from another platform?

Yes. Export a CSV from Booksy, Fresha, Treatwell, Phorest or Timely and upload it in your dashboard. Self-serve migration is free; white-glove migration is a paid service started only when you confirm.
