A full book is not the problem.
Chaos is.
Where it lives
One link. Put it wherever clients already find you.
-
01
Your booking page
A booking address of your own.
Every account gets one, like your-salon-name.salonmonster.com. You do not need a website to take bookings.
juniperhair.salonmonster.com
-
02
Your website
A Book Now button on your site.
Add booking with a widget, an embedded page or a plain link. Our support team will help you set it up.
-
03
Instagram and Facebook
The link in your bio.
Paste your booking link into your profile, a post or a message. Anywhere that takes a web link will do.
-
04
Google
Your Google Business Profile.
Put the link in the website or appointment field on your profile, so people who search for you can book.
Booking rules and controls
Open to clients. Still your book.
Online booking does not mean handing over the calendar. You decide what can be booked, by whom, and how far out.
- Which services
- Put a service on your booking page or keep it off. Let the root touch-up book itself and save the colour correction for a conversation.
- Which clients
- Choose which clients can book online and which cannot. If your book is closed, your regulars can still book themselves.
- Approve or auto-accept
- Let bookings confirm on their own, or have each one arrive as a request. Approve it, adjust it, or decline it with a note.
- How far ahead
- Set how far in advance clients can book.
- Cancellations
- Decide whether clients can cancel their own appointments online.
- What clients see
- Show the price and length of each service, or keep them to yourself.
On a team, each person sets their own prices and service lengths.
After they book
The follow-up sends itself.
- Confirmations
- Your client gets a booking confirmation by email or text, without you typing a word.
- Reminders
- Email and text reminders go out before the appointment. Both are included in your plan.
- Your calendar
- Clients are only offered times your calendar has open. Days off and blocked time stay off the booking page.
- Processing time
- Set a colour service up as apply, process and finish, and the processing time can stay open for another appointment.
- Wait list
- On a full day, clients can add themselves to your wait list, and you book them in when a spot opens.

From behind the chair
“I recently allowed clients to book online themselves and it is AWESOME. Like really seriously amazing. They love it and say it’s super easy to use, and I have literally saved hours and hours of time on my phone.”
“I can see from the emails some clients book in the middle of the night.”
“If I’m on holiday, I can confirm a booking request from my poolside chair, all while sipping a cocktail.”

Questions
What salons ask before they share the link.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. They book from a web page that works on a phone, so there is nothing to install.
Do I need a website?
No. Your account comes with its own booking address, like your-salon-name.salonmonster.com, and you can share it anywhere.
Can I add booking to the website I already have?
Yes. You can add it with a booking widget, an embedded page or a direct link, and our support team will help you set it up.
Can I approve bookings before they are confirmed?
Yes. Bookings can confirm on their own, or arrive as requests that you approve, adjust or decline.
Can I stop taking new clients and still let my regulars book online?
Yes. You choose which clients can book online, so a closed book can stay open to the people already in it.
Can clients book when I am closed?
Yes. Your booking page takes bookings at any hour. Clients are only offered times your calendar has open, so nobody can book your day off.
Does online booking cost extra?
No. It is included in every plan. Plans start at $30 a month for one person, plus $15 a month for each additional staff member.
Am I locked in?
No. salonMonster is month to month with no contract. The first 14 days are free with no credit card, and if you pay and change your mind in your first 30 days, you get a full refund.
Not ready to switch?
Check your prices before you put them on a booking page.
Our free pricing calculator works out the minimum price for every service on your menu, and a recommended price you can defend.
