Let clients book cuts, colour, and balayage online, free forever for 1-2 stylists. No credit card, no trial countdown, and no stripped-down feature set.
Not a generic scheduler — the free plan already handles per-service durations and stylist-specific pricing.
Set custom durations and prices per service and per stylist — a balayage takes longer than a trim, and the calendar knows it.
Automatic reminders plus optional card deposits for colour and chemical services — included free, not a paid upgrade.
A clean booking link for your Instagram bio or Google Business profile — no app download for clients.

“Our clients love the simplicity. They book through our Instagram link, and we take deposits for full-colour treatments. The free plan was the real thing, not a stripped-down demo.”
