New salon booking software solution launches

Online booking and scheduling brand, Appointedd, has introduced an online booking and engagement solution for hair and beauty salons and barbershops, Open In Style.

Appointedd's appointment solution has been designed to enable booking, rebooking and any resultant rescheduling to be carried out quickly and seamlessly, and ensure all bookings meet COVID-19 regulations.

Clients can book appointments by Appointedd's Open in Style 24/7, with all bookings and any changes triggering an automated communication via email or SMS in addition to sending customers reminders for appointments to reduce no-shows. Booking slots include built-in buffer time to provide space between appointments to sanitise and clean.

Each member of salon staff can access the Appointedd mobile app to stay on top of bookings on the go, whilst the system's reporting suite details a full breakdown of booking numbers, increase in revenue, no-show numbers etc.

In addition, there is also the option to integrate online payments to secure bookings.

Commenting on the launch of Open in Style, Leah Hutcheon, founder and CEO of Appointedd, says:

"Lockdown restrictions have forced hairdressers, barbers and beauticians to close for months last year, and again since November. We believe it's vital that when they do reopen they maximise the number of clients they can see safely. We work with many salons, big and small, and we know just how much time booking and rescheduling appointments manually wastes for them which is why we have created this solution for them now."
