For salons, barbers & nail techs
The chair that stopped sitting empty.
You're elbow-deep in a colour when the phone goes — and by the time your hands are free, she's found a chair that answered. This books her in on WhatsApp, offers real gaps in the right stylist's column, and holds the slot with a R150 deposit paid before she puts her phone down. Even at 19:12 on a Saturday.
From R1,150/month · once-off setup from R3,500
The whole booking happens inside the chat. Nobody phones you back, and nothing waits for morning.

Watch a Saturday booking pay for itself at 19:12.
This is a working demo — click it, play both sides. You're the client asking for braids after closing; the salon is the system doing the rest.
Glow Hair & Beauty is made up — the system is real. Your build gets your stylists, your prices and your deposit rules.
Pricing
Less than one no-show a month.
One client who books a three-hour appointment and doesn't pitch costs you more than either of these. Do the sums on your own diary.

FAQ
What every salon owner asks first.
Do I keep my WhatsApp number? +
Yes. Front Desk runs on the WhatsApp Business app you already use — same number, same chats, nothing changes. The full Order Desk runs on a dedicated booking line we set up for the salon, so your own WhatsApp stays yours and clients never notice the difference.
What happens when someone pays a deposit and then cancels? +
Your rules, applied automatically. Cancel with enough notice and the deposit moves to the new booking. Cancel late or simply not pitch, and it’s forfeited — and the chat says so before she pays, so there’s no argument afterwards. Either the chair gets filled or you get paid something for it.
Each of my stylists runs her own book. Can it cope? +
That’s exactly how it’s built. Every stylist gets her own column, her own services, prices and hours. A client who asks for braids only sees the braiders’ real gaps, and a three-hour colour never gets squeezed into a thirty-minute hole.
Where does the deposit money actually go? +
Straight into your own account, through a South African gateway like PayFast, Yoco or Ozow set up in your name. We never hold your money — not for a minute. The payment link is yours and the account it settles into is yours.
Will my clients know it’s not me replying? +
The words are yours — your services, your prices, the way your salon talks. You see every chat on your phone and can jump in whenever you want. What clients notice is that they asked at 19:12 and got booked in, instead of waiting until you’d swept up the next morning.
