Online booking system for beauty salons
The simple booking system for beauty salons.
Lashes, brows, waxing and facials: clients book the right treatment with the right time held, the patch test is asked before they arrive, and deposits protect the long appointments.
- Reduce no-shows
- Set up in minutes
- Get more bookings
Free for 20 bookings a month. No card, no contract, no commission.
Lashes at two, no-show at two
Held the hour, nobody on the bed
Beauty work is booked by the treatment and lost by the no-show, and half the admin is making sure the right client books the right thing.
The patch-test problem
A new client books a lash lift with no patch test on file, and the slot dies on arrival.
No-shows on the long treatments
A full set of lashes or a facial holds the bed for over an hour.
Booked by DM, confirmed by hope
Which treatment, which therapist, how long: a dozen messages per booking, typed between clients with your gloves on.
Try it
Book yourself in, the way your clients will.
Four taps on the phone, and watch the booking land in the diary beside it. That is all your clients see: no app, no account, no password to invent.

FAQs
Questions from beauty salons, answered straight
What it costs, what your clients see, and how FullDiary fits the way beauty salons actually work.
Something else on your mind? Ask a human.
How do I handle patch tests for new clients?
Add the patch test form under Your shop, Forms, one tap from the beauty template, and attach it to lashes, tints and brow lamination. When a client books one of those, the form appears on the booking page before they confirm: whether they have had a patch test with you, any reaction, any skin conditions, and a typed-name agreement. Inside its validity window they are not asked again, and the diary card shows done.
Can clients pick their therapist?
Yes. Your booking page lists who does what, with a photo and a line about each therapist, and clients only see times that therapist works. Each therapist has their own column in the diary and their own login.
Can I take deposits on some treatments and not others?
Yes. Deposits are per treatment. Put one on the long appointments, leave the quick ones free, and the money charges through your own Stripe account with no commission taken.
Can I sell a course of facials?
Yes, on Pro. A package is a set of treatments paid up front, sold on your booking page through your own Stripe or at the desk from the client's profile. Each visit comes off it automatically and the client sees the balance on their page.
Can a client book two treatments at once?
Yes. Brows and a lash lift go in one booking, the diary holds the combined time, and the reminder and confirmation cover both.
Does it work for mobile beauty therapists?
Yes. Under Your salon, Booking rules, switch on 'Ask for the customer's address when they book' and every booking arrives with the address and a maps link. On Pro, the Travel card under it adds a travel charge: your own price per mile after any free miles, worked out from the real driving distance and shown before they book.
Is it really free to start?
Yes, and it is not a trial. Twenty bookings a month, with the booking page, the live diary and the QR card included, for as long as you like. No card, nothing expires, and there is never commission on bookings. Pro is 9.99 GBP a month a person, never more than 39.99 GBP, when you outgrow it.
Do my clients need an app?
No. Your booking page is a link. It opens in their browser, they pick a service and a time, and the confirmation lands by email with an add-to-calendar file. Nothing to install on either side, and no password for anyone to forget.
