Hair salon software: long services, several stylists, one calendar

Colour and balayage: processing time in the calendar

For each service you can set that the stylist is busy for the first part of the visit, then has a free window, and returns to work at the end. In the ready-made hair catalogue a full colour takes 150 minutes, of which 30 minutes is application and the next 60 is processing, when the stylist can look after another client. Balayage takes 210 minutes and has its own window.

Buffers before and after a service come on top, for example for tidying the station. The system will not offer a slot that would use up the stylist's time, so the day does not slip by a quarter of an hour with every colour. All catalogue values are a starting point that you change.

Hair length, add-ons and several services in one visit

Cutting short hair takes a different time and costs a different price than cutting long hair. Korevo lets you define service variants with their own price and duration, plus add-ons such as a conditioning mask added to a colour. The client sees the result before booking.

One booking can hold up to five services, so a root touch-up, a blow-dry and a hair treatment are saved as one visit with a combined duration. In addition, each stylist can have their own price and duration for the same service, which helps when an experienced stylist works faster than a junior.

Stylist, chair and wash basin: who is free and when

Every stylist has a weekly schedule, exceptions for specific days and time off. The client picks a favourite stylist or leaves the choice to the system, which assigns whoever is free. A service can require a resource, such as a chair or a washing station, so a busy salon will not take more clients than it has places.

If you run more than one salon, each location has its own opening hours, schedules and cancellation rules. You can limit staff access to selected locations.

A deposit only where it makes sense

A men's haircut rarely needs a deposit, but a balayage lasting several hours does. In Korevo you set the deposit per service: none, a fixed amount or a percentage of the price, with a default rule for the whole location. The client pays online through your Stripe account and Korevo takes no commission. The slot is held while the payment is made, by default for 15 minutes.

When a visit is cancelled late or the client does not show up, the system marks the deposit as retained. The cancellation window is 24 hours by default, and a client can reschedule twice by default. You set both values per location.

Client card: preferences, allergies, notes

Every client has a card with visit history, preferences, tags and internal notes. It is a good place to note which shade she likes, how she reacts to dye or whether she prefers quiet during the visit. Korevo has no separate field for a colour formula, so you keep such details in the notes.

The allergy field is sensitive data, so it is visible to management and to the stylist serving that client, not to the whole team. Consents, including marketing consent, are stored with a date.

Return visits: reminders, waitlist and a win-back campaign

A hair salon lives on regular visits, and roots grow back every few weeks. The system sends a reminder e-mail, by default 24 hours before the visit, with a link to reschedule. When the Saturday schedule is full, the client joins the waitlist and gets a message when a place frees up.

For clients who have given marketing consent you can switch on an automatic win-back e-mail after a set number of days without a visit. For gifts you sell vouchers online through the shop on the salon website.

Start with a ready hair catalogue

You pick the hairdressing industry and Korevo suggests the categories: cuts, colour, styling and treatments, with sample durations and prices, including for root touch-ups, blow-drying, occasion updos and keratin straightening. You do not start from an empty screen, and everything is editable. The trial lasts 14 days and needs no card.
