Booking System for Hair Salons
Clients pick their stylist, see their work and reviews, and book after hours. You get a fuller calendar and fewer empty chairs.
One month free, then €4.99/mo. No card.
calenda is a booking system built for hair salons that run several stylists across one or more locations. Clients book online 24/7 – in the evening and on weekends, when you're closed – choose a specific stylist, pick a service from clear categories, and see that stylist's photos and star ratings right away. You pay one flat price of €4.99 per month with 0% commission on bookings, with no cap on the number of appointments, staff, or locations. Automatic email and SMS reminders cut no-shows, and for demanding services like colour or highlights you can require a deposit up front. Switching from Bookio takes a few minutes, and you can export your data any time.
One system that fits your business.
Pick a stylist and book after closing time
Clients choose a specific stylist based on their portfolio photos and reviews, then book online 24/7. A deep link can send returning clients straight to their favourite stylist and their open slots.
Deposits on colour and highlights to stop no-shows
For long, high-value services you require a deposit or QR payment up front. Automatic email and SMS reminders plus no-show tracking sharply reduce the number of clients who fail to turn up for a booked chair.
Reviews for the salon and each stylist
Collect star ★ ratings for the whole salon and for individual stylists, and point happy clients to Google reviews. It helps new clients choose and helps you build your team's reputation.
Service categories, photos, and multiple locations in one calendar
Cuts, colour, styling, or the men's barber – organised into clear categories with photos of both services and staff. A multi-location calendar keeps every branch and chair in one place.
Passes, gift cards, and returning clients
Sell gift cards and passes for visit packages, run discount codes, and let clients rebook in one click. calenda recognises a returning client and pre-fills their contact details.
FAQ
How much does calenda cost for a hair salon, and do you take commission?
calenda is a single flat €4.99 per month and takes 0% commission – on bookings and on the price of your services. It doesn't matter whether you do 50 or 500 appointments a month or how many stylists and locations you run; the price stays the same. Bookio charges by volume (EASY €6.90, SMART €14.90, STANDARD €29.90) and adds commission on online payments on top; with us, the full takings from every cut and colour stay with you.
How does calenda help with no-shows on colour and long services?
A stylist loses the most when nobody shows for a two-hour colour. That's why calenda can require a deposit or QR payment up front on selected services and automatically send an email and SMS reminder the day before. No-shows are also tracked, so when a client repeatedly fails to appear you can react and protect your most valuable, longest slots.
Can clients choose a specific stylist and see their work?
Yes. Every stylist has their own profile with portfolio photos, a description, and a star ★ rating. During booking the client picks who they want to sit with and immediately sees that stylist's open times. You can deep-link a regular straight to their favourite stylist, so booking takes two clicks.
What languages does the booking widget support?
calenda's booking widget comes in English, Slovak, and Czech, so it fits a salon with international clientele. The widget is fully mobile-friendly – most clients book a hair appointment from their phone – and you can embed it on your website, your Instagram bio, and your Google profile.
How quickly can I switch from Bookio and get my data out?
Switching from Bookio takes a few minutes, and we can bring most of your details over for you. You can export your data – clients, services, and history – any time; nothing is locked in. calenda can even act as a bridge while your paid Bookio period runs out, so you don't pay for two systems at once.
