These are the scheduling problems salon owners tell us about every day:
The phone rings 15-20 times a day. You can't answer with scissors in hand, and every missed call is a lost booking worth $50-150.
Paper books, texts, DMs, phone calls — bookings come from everywhere. Two clients show up for the same time slot and someone leaves unhappy.
30% of salon clients forget or bail on appointments. That's $500-1,000 in lost revenue per week for a busy salon with 3-4 stylists.
Everything your salon needs for scheduling, nothing you don't
Clients call your salon number and our AI answers — day or night. It knows every stylist's schedule, books the right service, and handles rescheduling. No more missed calls while you're cutting, coloring, or styling.
Like having a full-time receptionist for $10/month.
Reduce no-shows by 60%. Clients get text reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before their appointment. They can confirm, cancel, or reschedule with a simple reply.
Clients book anytime from your booking page or website widget. They pick their stylist, service, and time — no phone call needed. 40% of salon bookings happen outside business hours.
Collect deposits or full payment at booking via Stripe or PayPal. Salons using prepayment see 80% fewer no-shows. Charge cancellation fees automatically for late cancels.
Each stylist gets their own schedule, services, and booking page. Clients pick their preferred person — or let the system assign the next available stylist via round-robin.
Add walk-in clients directly from the dashboard. The system adjusts online availability instantly — no double bookings, whether clients book online, call, or walk through the door.
You're a one-person show doing 20-30 clients per week. LinkTime handles booking and reminders so you never touch your phone mid-appointment. The AI answers calls while your hands are busy.
Each stylist manages their own schedule and services. Clients book with their favorite person. The AI receptionist routes calls to the right stylist's calendar — no front desk needed.
Mix of appointments and walk-ins? No problem. Add walk-ins on the fly and online availability adjusts instantly. Clients who book ahead always get their slot — walk-ins fill the gaps.
"We were losing 8-10 clients a week to missed calls — I literally couldn't answer the phone while coloring someone's hair. Since adding LinkTime's AI receptionist, we haven't missed a single booking call. Our no-show rate dropped from 25% to under 5% with the SMS reminders and deposit requirement."
