Beauty salons · Preston, LancashireBooking system for beauty salons in Preston
A beauty salon’s menu is long: facials, waxing, lashes, brows and tanning, each with its own time and often its own therapist. With students coming and going each term and customers travelling in from outside the city, a booking link that works on any phone does a lot of the work.
One of the UK’s lowest-priced booking systems: £8.99 a month flat, unlimited bookings, no commission.
Taking bookings as a beauty salon in Preston
Preston is Lancashire’s city, with the University of Central Lancashire close to the centre and customers coming in from the surrounding towns and villages. Bookings follow the university year as well as the usual weekly rhythm, and plenty of customers travel in from places like Leyland and Longridge.
Whether your clients come from Ribbleton, Leyland, Ashton-on-Ribble or Bamber Bridge, Bookupy gives you one booking link that shows your real free times, takes the booking and emails a confirmation, so you aren’t answering messages while you work.
