03The most expensive problem in a salon

No-shows. Try the difference.

An empty chair costs real money. Switch the automatic reminders on and watch what happens to the very same day.

All you see of it is the result: a full calendar.

Scene: salon in the morning10:20 AM

Scissors in hand, a client in the chair — and the phone rings for the third time.

With online booking the caller books herself — and your team stays with the client who is actually there.

A read: from the salon floor

Two empty chairs a week — and what they really cost.

Few trades live by the clock like a salon: whoever isn't in the chair at 3:30 can't be squeezed in at 4:00. And yet in most salons the appointment book still runs between the blow dryer and the phone. What your own app changes about that — and what it honestly doesn't — can be played through on an ordinary Thursday.

≈ $4,300what two no-shows a week cost in a year
7 minutesfrom cancellation to a new booking — without you
4 of 6Thursday's appointments came through the app

The math nobody writes down

Two no-shows a week sounds like bad luck, not like a problem. Run the numbers once: two appointments at $45, across 48 working weeks — that's around $4,300 a year that never reaches the register. No product cost, no rent, no wages behind it: pure revenue that simply didn't happen.

The point isn't that an app prevents cancellations. People get sick, so do their kids, and sometimes someone plainly forgets. The difference is what happens next. If a client cancels in the app at 3:10, you know at 3:10 — not at 3:31 when the chair is already empty. The freed-up slot goes to the waitlist in the same minute, and in the best case someone books it before you even had time to be annoyed.

It isn't the cancellation that costs money. It's the hour afterwards, when nobody knows about it.

Who answers the phone in the middle of a haircut?

Honest answer: nobody, without it costing someone. Either the stylist puts the scissors down — then the client in the chair pays for it with her time. Or it rings out — then the caller phones the salon down the street, and you never see that appointment. Neither shows up in any report.

An app moves that work to a moment when nobody has to be interrupted. Julia books her balayage on Sunday at 9:48 PM, long after the salon closed. By Thursday four of six appointments are in the book without anyone touching the phone. Mr. Berger still calls — and that's perfectly fine. The app doesn't replace the phone, it just takes the majority of the calls off it.

Before the appointment, in the salon, after

An app like this becomes useful when you think along the visit instead of along a feature list. Before: book, remind, confirm. In the salon: the formula, the notes and the sensitivities sit in the client record — your colleague doesn't have to guess what went on last time. After: the receipt lands digitally in the account, the shampoo can be reordered between visits, and the next root appointment is already set.

For the stylist at the chair that mostly means fewer interruptions and less hunting for slips of paper. For the owner it means something else: in the evening you see how full the next weeks are, which slot regularly stays empty and who hasn't been in for months. Those two perspectives are worth separating before you start — what should the team feel, what do you want to see? The starter tier from $4,000 is launch-ready in two weeks and is still a full app: booking, reminders, cancellations, push, in the store under your salon's name. What sits above that isn't a better app but more of it, woven in deeper — client records with formulas, reporting, connections to your POS and calendar.

How many empty chairs your salon absorbs in a month, you know better than we do. Tell us in 30 seconds — you'll get a proposal with a fixed price.

04No buzzwords — do the math

What do no-shows really cost?

Move the sliders and the total follows.Worked example
No-shows per week2
Revenue per appointment$45
Appointments nobody showed up for2 a week at $45
Working weeks in a year× 48

≈ $4,300 in revenue a year — lost to empty chairs.

Automatic reminders cut no-shows sharply, and freed-up slots go out to regulars by push.

Picked Thursday's appointment from the couch on Sunday night, and the reminder came on Wednesday. Nothing forgotten, nobody called.

I keep the alerts for freed-up times on — that's how I got a cut the same day. Rescheduling I didn't find right away the first time.

Reminder the day before at 6:00 PM and on the day at 8:30 AM — one tap in the app is enough to confirm.

06Behind the studio

Who actually builds your app?

No off-the-shelf builder, no chain of anonymous contractors: an owner-run development studio that designs, codes and looks after apps for salons itself.

20 yrs web · 8 yrs apps 6 apps of our own iOS · Android · web Fixed price in writing

Have a nice day — an owner-run development studio: the person you deal with is the developer himself.

We are in the stores ourselvesWe publish and operate our own apps — you can see which ones further up. Going through store review month after month teaches you what really matters.
Everything under one roofConcept, design, code, store submission and day-to-day operation — nothing is handed to subcontractors or shipped offshore. If it says Have a nice day, Have a nice day did the work.
You talk to the developerAt the other end sits the person who actually writes your app. No ticket system, no call center — in German, English or Russian.
More than 20 years of experienceOver 20 years of web development and 8 years of apps for iOS and Android — the ones in the stores above are the latest result of that work.
A fixed price before we startWhat the project costs is agreed in writing before the first line of code exists. No surprises from a timesheet.
Speed from modern toolingWe work with current technology and AI assistance. That is why we measure projects in weeks rather than quarters and stay below what agencies charge — every single line still gets reviewed by us.

07The road to your app

From a conversation to your salon app.

1

Tell us about your salon

Services, team, how you take appointments today — a short conversation is enough.

2

Proposal and fixed price

You see what your app does, how it looks and what it costs. In plain words, in writing.

3

4

Into the stores

We handle publishing in the App Store and on Google Play. Under your salon's name.

5

We stay reachable

Updates, questions, new ideas — a direct line to us, not a hotline.

08Set packages, set prices

What does it all cost?

There is no hourly billing and nothing added on afterwards: you choose a package, you get a fixed price for it, and you know in advance what is included. Even Start is a complete app — the larger packages add features and deeper technology, not better quality.

Included everywhere: App Store, Google Play and the browser — along with hosting, updates and support. The only difference is the feature set.

from $199 / month

  • We build it, run it and maintain it; you pay monthly
  • Updates, new features and support are part of it
  • The source code stays with us at first and becomes yours once it is paid off in full

Depending on the feature set, projects land between $4,000 and roughly $30,000 — how far your app goes is your call. We name the fixed price after a short conversation, free and without obligation.

The three packages are typical sizes; anything in between is possible too. The math: base package $4,000, each additional module about +$900, each connection to an existing system about +$2,500. The shows what every single feature costs.

Where do the speed and the price come from? We work with current tooling, AI included — the time we save goes back into the price, the care stays handmade.

09What people ask us

Common questions about a salon app
