Booking system for hair & beauty
The booking system for hairdressers and salons
Colour timing on one client, blow dry on another, phone ringing at reception with no one to answer it.
Sound familiar?
Why hairdressers and salons lose work to the phone.
A colour and cut is £70 to £120 and two hours of the chair. A single no-show or missed booking a day adds up fast across a week.
No one free to pick up the phone
When the salon is busy the phone is the first thing that gets dropped. Every unanswered ring is a colour or a cut booked somewhere else.
Bookings want to happen in the evening
Clients sort their hair appointments once the kids are down, long after you have gone home. subba is still answering and filling next week.
Long appointments make no-shows hurt
A colour is two hours of your column. subba reminds clients, takes a deposit where you want one, and offers cancelled slots to your waitlist.
How subba helps
An online diary that fills itself.
Bookings that land in your diary
Customers pick a real free slot and book themselves in. No back and forth, no double bookings, it is in your calendar the moment they confirm.
Take the payment or a deposit
Collect a deposit or the full amount into your own Stripe at the point of booking. Fewer no-shows, and the money is yours the same day.
An AI receptionist on top
And when someone rings or messages instead of booking online, subba answers as a hairdresser, day and night, and books them in too. One system, every enquiry caught.
Reminders that cut no-shows
Automatic reminders by text and email before every appointment, with easy rescheduling, so your slots stay filled and your day runs to plan.
Your services, online
Customers pick, book and pay.
subba shows your real services and prices, offers only your genuine free slots, and books straight into your diary. Here is how a hairdresser setup might look.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For hairdressers and salons, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Hairdresser FAQs.
Can it take a deposit for long colour appointments?
Yes. For the appointments where a no-show really stings you can have subba take a deposit into your own Stripe at the point of booking, paid straight to you.
Will it book the right length for a colour versus a trim?
It knows how long each of your services takes and books the correct slot, so a three hour balayage never lands in a thirty minute gap.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
