Salon Booking System

Overview

Let your clients book appointments, classes, or packages, fill out intake forms, add appointments to their calendar, receive confirmation and reminder notifications, and reschedule, cancel, and pay for appointments automatically—zero hula dancing, email ping-pong, or phone tag required.

Pros

“It gives us an organized way to manage registrations and availability and makes it easier for guests to reserve their spot ahead of time.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sarah T.

Sr Marketing Manager

“The direct integrations keep client data and referral sources highly organized, letting you see exactly what marketing efforts are actually driving bookings.”
JA

Joseph A.

Owner

“It is a reliable scheduling solution that helps streamline appointment management, improve client communication, and reduce administrative tasks.”
JS

Janapher S.

Administrative Coordinator

Pros

“It allows my customers and me a great experience with bookings, service-overview, email follow-up and schedule.”
JR

Jothika R.

Trainer, lash- and browstylist, nail technician, waxer

“Appointment management is good, customers can cancel on their own through email or log-in and book a new slot.”
JR

“Customers can only make a note about this; When you use the Multi-shop add-on, it's not always clear what settings goes first.”
GN

Glen N.

CEO

Cons

“Customizing the booking page beyond the basics requires more effort than it should. And if you have a more complex multi-staff setup, the logic around calendar management can get confusing quickly.”
DT

Dimitri T.

consultant

“Acuity Scheduling is on time-based events, so it's not a solution for multi-day events, industries like hotels, and bed and breakfasts.”
DK

David K.

President

“Customizations require CSS/HTML, which non-tech savy users may find inconvenient or difficult to implement changes with.”

Terence Z.

Tech Support Engineer

Cons

“It has a couple of bugs in the blocking off time section where I cannot just block off a couple of hours of availability.”
BG

Belkis G.

owner

“Clients are not able to see my availability and as a result, they are leaving my website.”
SH

Silvia H.

Owner

“There was nothing that I liked least. If I had to say one thing it was the time slots and figuring out time available was a bit confusing at first.”
