Hairdressers and barbershops
Clients can book any time without interrupting a haircut, and last-minute cancellations stop meaning an empty chair.
Everyday reality
A busy salon's day is made up of interruptions. Here are the four most expensive ones.
01 · Today
The phone rings halfway through a colour
Your hands are covered in dye and the phone rings for the fifth time. Either you stop and answer with gloves on, or you let it ring and lose the booking to the salon down the road that picked up first.
With Farol
An online booking page open 24 hours a day, with the right services, durations and stylists — the diary fills up without you ever putting the work down.
24/7 online booking02 · Today
A nine o'clock cancellation costs the whole morning
The ten o'clock client cancels by text and that slot sits empty. Three people asked about a spot last week, but no one has time to ring them one by one.
With Farol
Whoever asked for that time is on the waiting list, by stylist, service and preferred times, and the slot is offered in one click, without ringing people one by one.
Waiting list03 · Today
Clients who simply forget
They booked a month ago for a two-hour cut and blow-dry. On the day, they don't show up and don't answer the phone. Two hours of an empty chair on a Saturday is the worst loss of the week.
With Farol
A reminder the day before that the client confirms in one tap, with longer bookings that haven't been confirmed highlighted for follow-up.
Reminders with confirmation04 · Today
No one really knows which hours are quiet
Everyone senses that Tuesday mornings are slow and Friday afternoons are packed, but there are no numbers to back decisions on staff rotas or where to run a promotion.
With Farol

No commissions, and your data stays in Europe
Farol charges a fixed subscription fee. Bookings the salon receives don't pay a commission per reservation, unlike beauty marketplaces.
There's no tie-in: the salon can leave whenever it wants and takes its client list with it. Data is hosted within the European Union, and this site doesn't use trackers or cookies.

Questions
Can clients cancel on their own?
If you want them to. In the client portal (from Starter), clients cancel or reschedule on their own within the notice period you set. You can also choose to receive requests and approve each one, or switch the option off.
Does each stylist have their own diary?
Yes, with their own hours, services and days off — plus an overview for whoever's on reception.
What if a client cancels at the last minute?
The slot is offered to whoever was on the waiting list for that stylist or service, without anyone having to make a phone call.
Can I see the salon's quiet hours?
You can, in the occupancy analytics by day, time and stylist, with the salon's full history.
