What salon booking software should do for you

Good booking software takes the admin off your hands. Clients book themselves at any hour, so you're not answering messages between appointments. Your diary fills without double-bookings. Deposits stop no-shows hurting, and reminders mean fewer clients forget.

Tavix does all of that, and one more thing most booking apps don't: it spots regulars who are due back and drafts a message to bring them in, for you to approve. It's built for independent UK beauty businesses: hair, nails, lashes, brows, skin and spa, from solo owners to small teams.

How clients book

Three taps from “I need a refill” to booked

Your own booking page, linked from your website, Instagram or Google profile. No marketplace and no rival salons listed next to you.

  1. Pick a treatment and a time

    Clients choose a service, a team member or “any professional”, and a time from your live availability. Slots are held while they book, so nobody gets double-booked.

  2. Secure it with a deposit

    They pay a deposit or save a card, depending on how you set it up. The money goes straight into your own Stripe account.

  3. Get a confirmation and a reminder

    A WhatsApp confirmation straight away and a reminder before the visit, or an SMS if they don't use WhatsApp. They sign in with a one-time code, with no passwords to forget.

Reminders and messages

Reminders go out on their own. Offers wait for you.

Booking confirmations, reminders, cancellations and receipts are sent automatically on WhatsApp, through Tavix. Clients without WhatsApp get them by SMS. Anything promotional, such as Follow-ups, offers, thank-yous and review requests, is drafted for you. You send it from your own WhatsApp or SMS in one tap, so replies come straight to you.

  • No credits to buy. Automatic WhatsApp and SMS messages are included in the £29.
  • You stay in control of every message that sells.

Client records

Everything about each client, in one place

  • Client history, notes and spend.
  • Digital consent forms, signed and stored with the client record.
  • Patch tests. Tavix warns you before a treatment that needs one, without blocking the booking, and lists tests about to expire so you can message those clients in one tap.

Booking software that also fills next month

Most booking apps stop once the appointment is made. Tavix keeps working on your own client list.

  • AI-assisted Follow-ups. Tavix learns how often each client usually visits, spots who's due back, and drafts a message in your salon's tone. You send it from your own WhatsApp in one tap. The AI never sees your client’s name or number.
  • Beauty Points. Loyalty points clients earn each visit, with the card in Apple and Google Wallet.
  • Offers, voucher codes and refer-a-friend rewards.
  • Google reviews. A thank-you after the visit that invites an honest review, checked by you first.

Questions

Salon booking software questions

What is salon booking software?
It's the system that runs your appointments: an online booking page for clients, a diary for you and your team, deposits to stop no-shows, and reminders before each visit. Tavix adds client records, checkout, reports and Follow-ups that bring regulars back.
Can clients book at any time?
Yes. Your booking page is open around the clock. Clients see your live availability and pick a service, a team member and a time. Slots are held in real time, so two clients can't book the same slot.
Does Tavix charge commission on bookings?
No. Tavix is £29 a month, VAT included, with no commission on any booking. Card payments and deposits go through your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges its standard card fees on those. See Tavix vs Fresha.
Does Tavix send WhatsApp reminders?
Yes. Booking confirmations and reminders go out on WhatsApp automatically, sent through Tavix. Clients who don't use WhatsApp get them by SMS. Follow-ups, offers and review requests are drafted for you to send from your own WhatsApp.
Can I take deposits?
Yes. Clients pay a deposit or save a card when they book, and the money goes straight into your own Stripe account. Need a policy to go with it? Try the cancellation policy generator.
Is it suitable for a one-person business?
Yes. Tavix is built for independent owners, from solo nail techs and lash artists to small salons with a team.
