> Simple, affordable booking software for hair salons and barbers. Online booking pages, calendar management, SMS reminders, and client management — starting free for solo operators.

- **Calendar management**: Day and week views for managing appointments, with drag-and-drop scheduling
- **SMS reminders**: Automated 24-hour appointment reminders to reduce no-shows
- **Client management**: Track client history, contact details, and visit notes
- **Staff scheduling**: Manage multiple staff members, working hours, availability, and time off
- **Service management**: Define services with durations and pricing
- **Multi-location support**: Manage multiple salons from one account
- **Reporting**: Track bookings, revenue, and popular services

## Pricing

- **Solo (1 staff member)**: Free forever — includes online booking page, calendar, email reminders, and client management
