Turn your hair service menu into bookable appointments
Zolis lets hairdressers offer appointments online with service pricing, duration and deposit details visible during the booking journey. Clients choose a service and available time, then enter the details needed for their appointment.
The practical task is to make your menu easy to choose from. A client booking a cut needs to understand what that service includes and how it differs from your other appointments.
Describe services before clients choose a time
Create services that reflect the appointments you actually deliver. Give each a clear name, price and duration rather than asking clients to reserve an unspecified block of time.
For example, you could distinguish a cut appointment from a colour consultation or another bookable hair service. These are service-menu examples: your business decides what it offers and how each appointment is described.
Where a treatment needs prior advice, tell the client how to contact you before selecting an appointment. Clear service descriptions help clients make a more informed choice.
Offer times that match your working schedule
Clients choose from the available slots shown for their selected service. Booking checks take working hours, time off and existing appointments into account.
If you work within a business with several locations, the chosen service must be available at the selected location. Keep your service assignments and availability current before sharing the booking page.
Read the online booking guide for the complete journey from service selection to confirmation.
Choose which appointments require an online deposit
A selected service can require a deposit through your connected Stripe account. A service without a required payment follows the booking confirmation journey without Stripe Checkout.
If a deposit is required, the client completes checkout and Zolis verifies payment before confirming the booking. Leaving checkout without paying does not confirm the appointment.
Check Stripe setup and booking deposits before enabling that requirement for a hair service.
Keep client details with the appointment
The booking record connects the client information captured during booking with the selected service and appointment time. You can review that context instead of searching through separate messages to identify who is coming in.
Use customer management for the wider customer record and appointment emails to organise confirmations and reminders.
Prepare useful appointment emails
Email templates can insert the client's name, service and appointment date and time. This lets you write reusable messages while keeping the appointment details specific to the booking.
Before using a template, review its wording and preview. Make sure any preparation instructions suit the service concerned. Timed reminders and follow-up automations depend on your plan.
Questions about online bookings for hairdressers
Can I offer different appointment durations?
Services have their own duration, which clients can review during the booking journey. Configure each service to reflect the appointment you provide.
Can some services be booked without a deposit?
Yes. A required online payment is not applied automatically to every appointment.
What if I manage a salon team?
See the salon booking guide for service assignments, team availability and branch considerations.
