Because a large portion of bookings still happens offline through phone calls or social media messages, no-shows and late cancellations have become an expensive problem for many salon owners and managers across the world. While very accessible, these appointments are often the most vulnerable.
To help beauty experts protect their schedules and income, the TimeTailor salon booking software launched a No-Show Protection Plan. Completing the online booking feature, this addition gives salon owners the tools they need to make sure clients remember their commitments:
"No-shows are one of the most frustrating challenges faced by salon owners", said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor. "Our new plan makes every appointment count, reducing revenue loss and improving accountability for clients!"
Key features include:
1. No-show customer flagging
A new way to identify clients who frequently miss appointments.
2. Required deposits
Clients are committed to their appointments before stepping through the door with fixed or percentage-based booking deposits.
3. Automatic reminders via SMS or WhatsApp
Appointment notifications are the best way to reduce no-shows.
4. Automatic appointment cancellation
If the deposit isn’t paid, appointments are automatically cancelled, so they can be replaced in no time.
5. Message history
Owners and managers can track all communications with clients, following up when necessary.
6. Client card-on-file
Simpler bookings and payments for loyal customers.
7. Late cancellation fees
A simple way to encourage responsible booking behavior.
8. Full prepayment options
Clients secure appointments in advance, keeping the calendar perfectly organized and up-to-date:
"Salon owners and employees shouldn’t worry about losing their livelihoods because someone forgot their appointment", Oliver explains. "Our goal for this launch was to give businesses the flexibility to manage manual bookings with the same ease and protection they expect and deserve from online bookings!"
In addition to this new plan, the TimeTailor salon appointment app continues to support beauty professionals through online booking functions:
1. Free online booking for salons
Only the client pays a 3.9% fee at checkout.
2. SMS reminders
Automated reminders reducing no-shows for online bookings.
3. Online payments & deposits
Secure and fast for salons and their customers.
4. Client retention emails and SMS
Gentle nudges via email and SMS ensure clients come back to the same salon.
5. Promotions and discounts
Personalized promotions for special occasions, holidays, and valuable customers.
By combining no-show protection with online booking tools, the TimeTailor salon booking app aims to provide a more reliable way for beauty experts to manage their daily activities.
