Every chair, every color, one calendar.
The whole team on one schedule, bookings that slide into processing-time gaps, and a flat $79 a month that doesn’t climb when you hire — built for the salon where every chair has its own rhythm.
№2 Three things that stop costing you money
The per-calendar bill
Most platforms charge for every stylist you add — the software bill climbs exactly when you’re investing in the team. Parlor is $79 flat, unlimited calendars. Hire the fourth chair; the bill doesn’t move.
The processing-time dead air
Forty-five minutes of color processing shouldn’t block the chair. Parlor knows the difference between working time and processing time — a cut books straight into the gap.
The end-of-day math
Who sold what, who got rebooked, whose chair ran empty — per-stylist sales, tips, and rebooking live in the reports, not in a spreadsheet you build at 9 PM.
No-shows run 20–30% without reminders. Under 10% with them.
A $140 color that no-shows takes the processing window, the blowout after it, and the retail moment with it. Cut no-shows from one-in-five to under one-in-ten and the recovered week pays for the software many times over.
The floor, at a glance
Day view runs the floor: every stylist a column, concurrent appointments side by side, processing windows visibly open for the next booking. Filter to one chair — or just yourself — in a tap.
- Every stylist, side by side
- Processing & gap time stays bookable
- Day, week & month views
No-shows stop being free
A deposit sized to the service — more for a full color, less for a trim — paid the moment they book, plus an email reminder the day before; text reminders are activating as carrier registration completes. The appointments that survive to the chair are the ones that were always going to show.
- Percentage or flat deposit, per service
- Email reminder, 24 hours before — texts activating
- No-show fees on the saved card, policy shown first
The day, settled by close
Build the ticket — color, cut, treatment — add the tip, charge the card. Every dollar is attributed to the stylist who earned it, and the reports show each chair’s sales, tips, and rebooking rate without a spreadsheet.
- Tips split to the right stylist, automatically
- Prepaid packages & gift cards, redeemed at checkout
- Per-stylist sales & rebooking reports
- Tap to pay at the counter
Asked by every salon.
Do you charge per stylist or per calendar?
No. $79 a month covers the whole team — every stylist gets their own calendar, service menu, and bio, and adding one never changes the bill.
Can clients book into color processing time?
Yes — that’s the point. Tell us a service’s processing window and we’ll set it up — the gap stays bookable, so a cut fills the time the color is doing its work.
Can I see sales per stylist?
Yes. Revenue, tips, and rebooking rate are reported per team member — checkout attributes every tip and every ticket to the stylist who earned it.
Can different services take different deposits?
Yes. Set a studio default — a percentage or a flat amount — and override it per service, so a $200 color holds more than a fringe trim.
Can I sell packages or gift cards?
Yes to both. Sell a prepaid series up front — five blowouts, a color club — and Parlor tracks the visits left and redeems them at checkout, with an optional expiry and a between-visit cadence if you want one. Digital gift cards sell from a public link and redeem at checkout the same way.
Can I put an intake form on a service?
Yes — forms and waivers with legal e-signature are included in the $79. Starter templates ship with it, including a spa-style intake you can adapt for color consults and patch tests, and you choose which services require which form.
What happens to my existing client book?
It comes with you. Export your client list from your old system — Vagaro, GlossGenius, and Square exports are recognized automatically — and drop the file on the Clients page. Parlor shows you a dry-run preview (“N new, M merged, K skipped”) before anything is saved; most lists land in about ten minutes. Appointment history is the one piece we handle with you — send us the file and we’ll import it together, free.
