Salon scheduling software · 3 staff included
Appointment scheduling software for salons with more than one chair
A drag-and-drop calendar, real staff rotas and live online availability that always agrees with what's actually happening on the floor.
The hardest part of a busy salon isn't taking a booking — it's making sure the booking that gets taken is actually possible. The right room, the right stylist, the right gap, the right day off. Scheduling software for salons exists so the availability your clients see online is the availability you really have.
LushLane builds availability from the ground up: opening hours, per-staff working patterns, breaks, holidays and time off, room or chair capacity, service durations with buffers, and rules for who can perform what. Change a rota on Thursday afternoon and the online booking page updates instantly, so nobody books a stylist who's on annual leave.
Day, week and staff-column views let you drag appointments between stylists, extend a service that's overrunning, and fill a cancellation from the waitlist in a couple of taps. Multi-site owners get per-location calendars under one login with shared clients and combined reporting.

FAQ
Questions UK salon owners ask
What is appointment scheduling software for salons?
It manages staff availability and appointment slots so clients can only book times that genuinely work — accounting for rotas, breaks, holidays, service durations, buffers and room capacity. LushLane includes it from £22 a month with three staff.
Can it handle staff holidays and days off?
Yes. Time off, split shifts and breaks are set per staff member and remove those slots from online availability immediately.
Does it support multiple locations?
Yes — each site gets its own calendar under a single login, with shared client records and combined reporting.
How many staff are included?
Three are included in the £22 monthly plan, with additional team members at £5 a month each.
Will the online booking page always match my real availability?
Yes. Availability is calculated live from rotas, existing appointments, buffers and capacity, so it can never fall out of sync.
