Online booking that fits how a salon actually runs

A public page your clients can book from, and a calendar your front desk can actually work in.

Salyntra gives every salon a public booking page at its own web address, where clients pick a service, a stylist and a time without creating an account or installing anything. Bookings land straight on the salon’s calendar, which staff manage by dragging appointments between days and stylists. Every booking gets an eight-character code the front desk can use to find it in seconds.

How do clients book an appointment?

They open your booking link — the same address you put in your Instagram bio — and work through four steps: what they want, who they want it with, when, and their details. No account, no app, no download. The page works on any phone browser.

If a service does not require a specific stylist, the client can pick “no preference” and Salyntra assigns whoever is free. That removes the most common reason people abandon a booking form: being asked a question they do not have an opinion about.

  • Works on any browser, on any device
  • Optional phone verification by SMS code before a booking is accepted
  • Bot protection on the public form
  • An eight-character booking code for front-desk lookup

How does the calendar work for staff?

Day, week and month views, with drag-to-reschedule. Appointments are colour-coded by status, so a glance tells you what is confirmed, what is waiting on payment and what has been cancelled.

Walk-ins, online bookings and appointments your team creates are tracked separately, so the month-end numbers can tell you how much business the booking page is actually bringing in rather than lumping it all together.

Can one appointment include several services?

Yes, and this is where most booking tools get a salon wrong. A client having colour and a treatment is one appointment with two service lines, not two bookings that happen to be adjacent.

By default those lines run back to back. A salon whose floor can genuinely support it can allow specific PAIRS of services to run at the same time across two staff — a manicure during a colour process, say. It is set per combination rather than as a blanket switch, because a haircut and a beard trim occupy the same head while a pedicure and a blow-dry do not.

What about each stylist’s own schedule?

Every stylist has their own weekly working hours and off days, and the booking page only ever offers times that stylist is actually available. Individual days can be opened or closed without touching the weekly pattern.

Stylists can block out their own time up to a limit the owner sets — thirty minutes a day and three hours a week by default. Past that they file a request the manager approves. It keeps small personal admin off the manager’s desk without handing over the calendar.

Do clients get reminders?

Automatic email reminders go out 24 hours and 1 hour before the appointment, on every plan, at no extra cost. The salon’s own logo appears on them.

SMS reminders are available as pay-as-you-go credits rather than being bundled, because text messages cost real money per send and most salons want to choose which notifications are worth paying for. You control which ones use SMS from your settings.

Which timezone do bookings use?

The salon’s. Every salon carries its own timezone, and availability, reminders and daily reports are all resolved against the salon’s wall clock rather than the server’s or the visitor’s. A client browsing from another country sees the times the salon means.

Common questions

Do my clients need an app to book?

No. Clients book through your salon’s public link in any browser, on any device. There is nothing to install, and they do not need an account — though they can create one to see their visit history and re-book faster.

Can I take a deposit when someone books?

Yes. You can require the full amount, a percentage deposit, or payment on arrival — or let the client choose. Unpaid bookings hold the slot for a window you set (24 hours by default) and then release it automatically.

Can two stylists work on one client at the same time?

Yes, if you allow it for that specific pair of services. Salyntra treats “can run in parallel” as a property of the combination rather than a salon-wide switch, so a manicure can overlap a colour process while a haircut and a beard trim still run in sequence.
