In it they can: - Book a service with a chosen stylist - See photos of each service before they book - Answer your intake questions when they book, such as allergies or hair history - Tap Book again after a visit to see open times with the same stylist a few weeks out - Pay by card and keep a card on file - See upcoming bookings and cancel or reschedule inside your rules - Book from a link without an account, in their own language: the guest booking page comes in 32 languages ## Made for how salons work ### Deposits for long services Ask for a deposit or full payment when someone books a color or a long treatment. You choose per service, and you can switch on a no-show fee charged to the saved card. ### Intake questions Add up to 20 questions to a service, in eight field types from short text to yes or no, so you know what you need before the client sits down. ### Rebook prompts After a visit the app offers times on the same weekday a set number of weeks later, with the same stylist when they are free. You set the interval per service. ### Approval when you want it Send some services to request-only booking, so a stylist approves first. Set cancel and reschedule windows and block out dates. ## What we set up for you For a salon we set up every service with its own length, price and photos, assign each stylist the services they do, add your intake questions to the services that need them, and choose which services take a deposit and which need your approval first. We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export and do the App Store and Google Play submission work in your own developer accounts. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch. Want the detail on how the store side works?
