Which appointment software for a hair salon?
For a salon, the software must first block the right amount of time: a men's cut, a color and a balayage don't keep the chair busy for the same time. It must then share the appointments between hairdressers, reduce no-shows on long services and bring clients back at the right pace. Calendrio covers these four points in an online calendar designed for independent professionals and small salons (up to 5 team members).
What changes in the salon
The right duration for each service
You set the duration of each service: cut, blow-dry, color, highlights. A client who books “cut + color” is offered a time slot long enough for both, with no gaps in the day and no overlap with the next client.
Each hairdresser has their own calendar
With the Team plan, you add your team members and set who does what. The client chooses her usual hairdresser if you allow it, or the salon assigns the request. Everyone sees their appointments for the day.
Fewer empty chairs
A reminder is sent by email the day before, or 2 hours before for a haircut booked the same day, with an SMS as well if you wish: you choose, and each client can set the timing of her email. For highlights or a bridal hairstyle, you can ask for an online deposit and set your cancellation rules. If a spot opens up, the clients on the waiting list are notified.
Clients who come back
Service by service, you decide whether the client gets a follow-up and after how many days: a men's cut doesn't come back at the same pace as a color. Your private notes (color formula, habits) stay in her record.

Frequently asked questions from hairdressers
Can a client book a cut and a color at the same time?
Yes. Each service has its own duration (for example 30 minutes for a cut, 1 h 30 for a color). When the client chooses several, the durations add up and she's only offered time slots long enough for all of them.
Can my clients choose their hairdresser?
Yes, with the Team plan (up to 5 team members). You set who provides each service; if you allow it, the client chooses the person when booking and only sees their free time slots.
How can I reduce no-shows for balayage or bridal hair?
A reminder is sent automatically before every appointment: an email the day before, even on the free plan. With the paid plans and during the trial, you choose the timing (2 days, the day before, 2 hours or 1 hour before) and can add an SMS reminder: 50 reminder SMS are included every month on Pro, 200 on Team. For long services, you can ask for a deposit or full payment online at booking, and set your own cancellation and refund rules.
Can I follow up with clients who haven't come back for a long time?
Yes. For each service, you choose whether clients get a follow-up, after how many days (for example 5 weeks for a men's cut) and with an optional discount. You can also send an email or SMS campaign to a selection of clients.
How much does Calendrio cost for a hair salon?
There's a free plan to get started (2 services, 30 contacts, online payment, Google/Outlook sync). The Pro plan, for a hairdresser on their own, is €39 excl. VAT per month; the Team plan, for a salon with up to 5 team members, is €79 excl. VAT per month. No commitment, after a one-month free trial with no credit card. SMS are charged €0.10 excl. VAT each.
