Quick answers to the things salon owners ask most. Browse a topic below, or reach out and we'll come back to you personally.
Set up your salon and take your first booking.
Tap Get started, enter your email and a password, and you're in. There's no card required and no setup fee — you'll land straight in your dashboard ready to add services.
Add your services (with prices and durations), then your opening hours. That's all it takes for your booking page to go live — clients can book the moment those two things are in place.
You can add clients by hand today, and we're building bulk import for the Team plan. If you've got a spreadsheet of customers, get in touch and we'll help you bring them across.
Yes. BusySeat runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet or laptop — there's nothing to download. You can also add it to your home screen for an app-like feel.
Share a link and let clients book themselves in.
Your public booking page lives at a link you can share anywhere — pop it in your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp status or a text to a regular. Clients pick a service, a time and confirm.
No. Your booking page only ever offers slots inside the hours you've set, and it skips times you're already booked — so you'll never get a clash.
They choose the service, pick an open time and leave their name and contact details. Everything they enter is saved against their profile so you build a client list automatically.
Yes. Adjust or clear your opening hours when you're away and your page simply shows no available times until you set them again — no awkward bookings while you're on holiday.
Your calendar, clients and visit history in one place.
Open the calendar and switch between month, week, day and agenda views. The agenda view lists your appointments in order — perfect for a quick check before you start the day.
Of course. Create an appointment directly in your calendar for walk-ins or clients who call — pick the customer, the service and the time, and it slots straight in alongside online bookings.
Each client has a profile with their visit history, notes and photos. Jot down their formula, preferences or anything you want to remember for next time — it's all private to your salon.
Open the appointment from your calendar and edit the time, or remove it. The slot frees back up on your booking page automatically so someone else can take it.
Plans, payments and what happens as we grow.
It's free while we're in beta — no card, no trial countdown. See the full picture on our pricing page, including the Pro and Team plans that are on the way.
Never without you choosing to. When paid plans launch we'll give plenty of notice, and your free plan keeps working unless you decide to upgrade.
Not yet. Today you take payment in person however you normally do. Deposits and online payments are part of our Pro roadmap, and you can log what each visit was worth in the meantime.
Yes — there are no contracts. Stop using BusySeat whenever you like, and once paid plans exist you'll be able to cancel in a couple of clicks.
