Take online bookings under your own salon brand without paying a penny of commission. Keep your client list, eliminate no-shows with deposits, and manage your stylists from one easy calendar.
Traditional booking apps charge massive commissions on your clients and display your competitors next to your profile.
Paying up to 20%+ for "new clients" (who found you via Google search or word-of-mouth) eats your profit margins. Slotivo is flat-rate.
Marketplace apps own the customer record and target your regulars with discounts at nearby competitor salons. With Slotivo, your client data is 100% yours.
Software that charges per-stylist penalizes you for hiring and growing. Slotivo offers unlimited staff accounts under one flat monthly price.
Our system is custom-built to support the unique requirements of busy New Zealand hair salons:
For teams of 3+ staff. Entirely free for 1-2 staff members. No hidden monthly additions.
✓ Low flat processing fee per booking
✓ Own website integration via booking widget
✓ Free setup and data migration by account managers

Slotivo vs Fresha, Treatwell & more
“Our clients love the simplicity. They book through our Instagram link, and we take deposits for full-color treatments. The free setup support was a huge relief.”
Creative Director, Luxe Hair Studio
Yes, absolutely. Our dedicated support team will help you migrate your entire client list, histories, and service catalogs from Treatwell, Fresha, Booksy, or a spreadsheet at no extra cost.
You can require clients to pay a deposit (either a percentage or flat rate) during booking. In addition, Slotivo sends automatic email and SMS reminders to confirm upcoming appointments, reducing no-shows by up to 90%.
Never. Slotivo has a flat monthly fee (NZ$10/mo for teams of 3+ staff, and completely free for 1-2 staff). We charge a simple low flat processing fee per booking, but we never take a percentage commission on your services.
Yes. Slotivo is used by hairdressers, barbershops, nail studios, beauty clinics, spas, and lash bars across New Zealand. Services, durations, and staff permissions are fully customisable, so a beauty clinic offering facials and injectables works the same way as a hair salon offering cuts and colour.
The right choice depends on whether you value marketplace exposure or independence. Marketplace apps like Fresha, Treatwell, and Booksy can bring walk-in discovery traffic but take a commission or subscription for it. Slotivo is built for salons that already have a client base and want to stop paying per-booking fees on their own regulars.
