Per-stylist scheduling, online booking with deposits, no-show protection, retail POS, packages, memberships and automated recall reminders — one platform, no per-staff fees, no contracts.
LinkandBook for Salons is an all-in-one platform for salons, barbers, nail studios and spas. It bundles per-stylist scheduling, online booking with deposits and configurable no-show fees, a retail POS for take-home products, package and membership selling with auto-renewal, automated recall reminders that bring clients back on the right cycle, and a marketplace where partner businesses (hotels, gyms) can sell your vouchers for a referral commission. No per-staff pricing — flat per location.
Per-stylist online booking with deposit, retail POS for take-home products, automated recall every 4 weeks for hair clients.
Service durations and package pricing, recall that auto-rebooks regulars on a 2-week cycle, gift cards sold from neighbouring shops.
Each module replaces a separate vendor — and unlike Booksy or Fresha, you're not charged per stylist.
Each stylist has their own calendar, services and rates. Customers pick the stylist, the service, the time. Drag-and-drop rebook, auto-block lunch slots, request-and-approve flow.
Take a deposit at booking. If they no-show, you keep it automatically. Repeat no-shows get auto-flagged and required deposit goes up — your call on the threshold.
Sell shampoos, polish, take-home products and gift cards on the same touch POS as appointments. Barcode scanning, commission tracking per stylist, end-of-day Z-report.
Sell "5-pack of cuts", "monthly facial", "12-session brow lamination". Auto-renewal, redemption tracking, balance per client. Family plans supported.
Hair every 4 weeks, nails every 2, brows every 6. Set the recall window per service; the platform auto-emails clients when it's time to rebook with a one-tap booking link.
Partner hotels, gyms and event venues can sell your vouchers as inline cards on their pages. They earn 5–15% commission per referral; you get pre-paid bookings with zero marketing spend.
Names, photos, services, durations, prices, commission %. Each stylist gets their own page on your booking site.
Optional deposit at booking, no-show fee policy, recall windows per service type. Set once, runs forever.

Booksy and Fresha lead the salon space — but Booksy charges per stylist and Fresha takes commission on new-client bookings. LinkandBook is flat per location.

Salons typically pay €39 / month per location, flat — not per stylist. Add as many stylists as you have chairs at no extra cost. Voice AI and SMS are pay-as-you-use, billed transparently. 0% commission on direct bookings.
Flat per location, full stop. Add 1 stylist or 30 — same monthly price. This is the main reason salons switch from Booksy, where the per-stylist model becomes painful as you grow.
Set the deposit amount per service (fixed € or % of service price). Card is captured at booking; if the client no-shows or cancels inside the window, the deposit is auto-charged. Repeat offenders get auto-flagged and required deposits go up — threshold is your call.
Set the recall window per service (e.g. cut = 4 weeks, colour = 8 weeks, brow lamination = 6 weeks). When the window opens, the client gets an email/SMS with a one-tap rebook link to the same stylist for the same service.
Yes — full retail POS with barcode scanning, modifier groups, commission tracking per stylist, gift card sales and redemption. End-of-day Z-report broken down by stylist.
Yes — each location is its own tenant, viewable from a single owner dashboard. Memberships and packages can be cross-location if you want.
It depends on your network. Salons in tourist areas tend to get the most marketplace volume from partner hotels (which sell your vouchers to guests). You set the commission % per service; nothing happens unless a partner refers an actual booking.
Yes — one tap on the sale emails or SMSs the client the official tax-authority PDF link, or thermal-reprints a copy marked ΑΝΤΙΓΡΑΦΟ (Greek-tax-compliant). The original AADE MARK is preserved; every reissue is audit-logged. Greek AADE Πάροχος integrated today; other countries' modules on the roadmap.
Yes — free to start, no credit card required.
EU-hosted by default; regional hosting on request. Per-salon data isolation. We don't sell or share data.
Same engine, tailored layout and terminology for each. Run several under one account if you do more than one thing.
