No-show protection

No-show protection is a set of built-in safeguards that stop missed appointments from quietly draining your salon. It works in the background of your booking system — reminding clients, holding deposits and enforcing your rules — so you don't chase anyone by hand.

What you get

• Fewer empty chairs. Automatic confirmations and a 24-hour reminder cut forgetting, the single biggest cause of missed appointments.
• Money in the bank either way. Require a deposit or upfront payment on high-value slots; if a client vanishes, you keep it.
• Self-service rescheduling. One-tap links let clients move a time instead of ghosting, so the slot stays sold.
• Clear rules, less awkwardness. Your cancellation policy is shown before booking, so expectations are set without a difficult phone call.
• No-show history per client. Repeat offenders are flagged, so you can ask them for a deposit next time.

How it works

Every booking made through your online booking triggers an instant confirmation, then an SMS or message reminder before the appointment. For services you choose, the client pays a deposit at checkout, settled later in your point of sale. Cancellations and reschedules run through the same links — no app, no friction. You set the thresholds once and it runs itself.

Who it is for

Any salon, barbershop, nail or beauty studio that loses time to no-shows — especially those with long, high-value treatments where one empty chair really hurts. Set your deposit thresholds and reminder timing in minutes.
