No-shows are more than just an annoyance—they are a direct hit to your salon's monthly bottom line.
When clients fail to show up, your stylists are paid to sit idle. Card deposits ensure you can cover basic overhead and staff wages even if a client cancels last-minute.
For specialized services (like coloring or extensions), prep work and product mixing starts early. Deposits ensure product costs are covered.
A client who no-shows takes a spot that could have gone to someone on your waitlist. Deposits keep schedules committed and highly reliable.

10/10 service and cheaper than I was paying before
“I offer music lessons at my home, and finding the right booking system has been a nightmare. I've tried so many and have had to make them try and fit what I need... it's like Slotivo was made for me - but it was actually recommended by my friend who's a masseuse and loves it too. It's really customisable and perfect for most use cases. Would really recommend, I've had a few questions about it too and they've been really responsive and even added features I've asked for - 10/10 service and product.”

Great scheduling tool for home visits.
“I am using Slotivo to manage client bookings for in-home flower rearranging appointments. It is clear and easy for clients to select their time, and it makes planning daily schedule seamless. Takes the headache out of appointment admin. Highly recommended.”

A small deposit, such as €10 or 20%, creates a clearer commitment and gives your cancellation policy practical weight. Results vary by business, service and policy.

The things that are different for Irish salons, clinics and studios.
Free for one or two staff. Bigger teams pay a flat €6 a month for unlimited staff, billed in euro, so there’s no sterling price to convert.
Add St Brigid’s Day, St Patrick’s Day and the June, August and October bank holidays as closed dates, and clients can’t book you on them. Your booking page runs on Irish time.
Hairdressing moved to the 9% VAT rate on 1 July 2026. You only have to register for VAT once your services pass €42,500 in a rolling 12 months. Set your prices the way you charge them; Slotivo doesn’t add VAT to your clients’ bookings.
Phorest, founded in Dublin, is the name many Irish salons know. It suits larger salons that want marketing built in. Slotivo is for teams that want online booking and deposits without a per-staff bill.
