Salon Booking System – Appointment Booking for Salons, Barbershops & Spas

The appointment booking plugin built only for salons — not adapted to them.

While generic booking plugins try to serve every industry, Salon Booking System is designed around how a salon actually works: staff members with different schedules and skills, services with processing and finishing times, clients who rebook the same treatment every few weeks, and the daily fight against no-shows.

Since 2015 it has been the booking system of choice for hairdressers, barbershops, beauty salons, nail studios and spas, with more than 750,000 downloads.

Taking bookings in minutes, not in a weekend.

Setting up a booking system is where most salons give up. Salon Booking System has an AI Setup Assistant, included in the free version: describe your salon in plain language — opening hours, services, staff members, booking rules — and it fills in the settings for you. You get a booking page your clients can use the same day, and you can still adjust every detail by hand afterwards.

Unlimited bookings, services and staff members in the free version — no booking limits, no fee per appointment.

Built for the way salons work

• Smart booking form — your clients pick date, service and stylist in seconds, from any device. Customizable steps order, colors, fields and direct booking links for your social profiles.
• Reduce no-shows — automatic email and SMS reminders and follow-ups (Twilio, Plivo and iP1 supported out of the box).
• Staff schedules that match reality — individual weekly timetables, holidays, services per staff member, and notifications when they get booked.
• Salon-specific services — duration, price, categories, conditional “secondary services” (e.g. color + cut), service breaks for processing time, exclusive services.
• Two-way Google Calendar sync — reservations appear in your Google Calendar; add or cancel appointments from there and the plugin stays in sync.
• Grow repeat business — customer archive with full booking history, review invitations after the appointment, unlimited discount coupons.

Your bookings. Your clients. 0% commission.

Unlike marketplace booking apps, Salon Booking System runs on your own WordPress website:

• You pay no commission on bookings — ever
• Your client list and booking history belong to you
• Nobody shows competing salons to your customers
