# WhatsApp appointment booking for salons and spas

> Let clients book a haircut, colour or facial on WhatsApp with the right stylist, no double booking, and a reminder the day before that cuts no-shows.

"Is 5 free?" "No." "6?" "With Anu?" "She's off Tuesdays." Five messages for one booking, typed while you are with a client.

Agent24 puts your real diary behind the chat: it offers free times as buttons, books the slot with the right person and reminds the client the day before.

## What the agent does for salons & spas

- **Knows who does what**: colour with one stylist, threading with another, each with their own hours and days off.
- **Offers free times as buttons** for the service the client asks for, in any language, even from a voice note.
- **Books in one step**, so two clients can't take the same 6 pm slot.
- **Reminds the day before** with Confirm and Cancel buttons; cancelled slots go free again.
- **Takes an advance** for long or expensive services with a payment link from your own account.
- **Sells packages and classes**: "6 sessions in 90 days" memberships, group sessions with seats.
- **Respects your policies**: women-only hours, bridal bookings by call, late arrival rules.

## What customers ask

- "Haircut tomorrow evening with Anu?"
- "How much for global hair colour?"
- "Do you do bridal makeup at home?"
- "Can I move my 4 pm to 6 pm?"
- "Ladies only?"

## How to set it up

1. Pick **Salon & beauty** at the guided start: Bookings switches on and the policy questions cover women-only hours and bridal work.
2. Add services with duration and price, your staff with what each one does, weekly hours and time off.
3. Switch on reminders in Agent → Booking rules, and decide whether the bot books or the team confirms.
4. Connect WhatsApp, and put the website's booking button in your Instagram bio.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can clients pick a particular stylist?

Yes. Each staff member has their own services and hours. If the client names someone, the agent offers that person's free times; otherwise it offers the earliest across the team.

### How are no-shows reduced?

A reminder goes out about 24 hours before with Confirm and Cancel buttons. A Confirm is a commitment; a Cancel frees the slot for someone else. You can also ask for an advance payment on long services.

### Does it work for a spa with packages?

Yes. Memberships like "5 massages in 60 days" are sold as plans; bookings use an active membership while sessions last.

### What if a client complains or asks something personal?

Rules hand such chats to you straight away, with a push or email alert, and the agent stays quiet in that chat until you hand it back.
