Salon appointment software · 2 months free
Salon appointment software that fills your diary while you work
Take appointments 24/7, cut no-shows with automatic reminders and deposits, and keep every client record in one place — £22 a month flat, 0% commission, first two months free.
Most UK salons still lose appointments the same three ways: the phone rings while your hands are in someone's hair, a client wants to book at 10pm and never gets round to it, and someone forgets a Saturday slot that could have been sold twice over. Salon appointment software fixes all three by moving the booking off the phone and onto a link your clients can tap any time.
LushLane handles the whole appointment lifecycle. Clients pick a service, a stylist and a slot from live availability, pay a deposit if you ask for one, and get an instant confirmation. Reminder texts and emails go out automatically before the appointment. If they cancel late or don't turn up, your cancellation rules apply without you having to have an awkward conversation. Afterwards, a review request goes out and a rebooking nudge follows at the interval you set.
Behind the scenes you get a drag-and-drop appointment calendar, per-staff rotas, breaks and holidays, colour-coded service durations with buffer time, and a full client record: history, notes, allergies, formulas, photos and lifetime spend. It all runs from your phone, tablet or laptop with nothing to install.
