SALONS
No-shows and slow rebooking keep leaving chairs empty.
It’s not a demand problem. The bookings are there, they just don’t hold: no-shows eat the morning, clients drift without rebooking, and the front desk spends half the day on the phone instead of with clients. Here’s what that looks like fixed, one workflow at a time.

THE FIXES
Three fixes that give the week back.
Nothing here is a new tool you have to learn. Most of it is already in the booking system you pay for, switched off.
01Reminders that get answered
AUTOMATE
BEFOREOne text the night before, which lands long after the client has forgotten the booking was coming up.
AFTERReminders go out at the times people actually answer, with one tap to confirm or move the booking, so the chair doesn’t sit empty on the day.
02Rebooking at the chair
SYSTEMISE
BEFORERebooking happens if someone remembers to ask before the client is out the door, and it’s usually nobody’s job.
AFTEREvery visit ends with the next one booked, and anyone who slips through gets a friendly nudge in your words when they’re due back.
03Filling cancellations
AUTOMATE
BEFOREA late cancellation means ringing down a mental list between clients, and the gap usually stays a gap.
AFTERThe waitlist gets a message the moment a spot opens, and the first yes takes it, before the chair goes cold, even mid-colour.
