Never Miss an Appointment Again — Automated Reminders That Work
Reduce no-shows and keep your salon schedule full with smart, customizable SMS and email reminders.
Why Automated Appointment Reminders Matter
No-shows can cost your salon thousands in lost revenue each year. Whether it's a busy Saturday or a weekday afternoon, missed appointments mean wasted time and disrupted scheduling.
Automated reminders keep your calendar running smoothly — ensuring clients show up, confirm in advance, or cancel in time to fill the gap.
Key Benefits:
➕Cut no-shows by up to 40% with timely reminders
➕Free up staff from manual follow-ups
➕Keep clients engaged and informed
According to industry research, salons using automated reminders see an average 30–50% reduction in no-shows.
🔑 Key Features
Managing a busy salon team can be overwhelming — from coordinating shifts and managing time off to avoiding double bookings. Our salon staff scheduling software puts you in control with a drag-and-drop calendar, real-time availability, and automated shift management.
