Hairdressers · St Helens, MerseysideBooking system for hairdressers in St Helens
Colour, cuts and treatments all take different times, and a hairdresser’s diary only works if each one is booked for the right length. For a one-person business a booking page acts as a receptionist: it takes bookings and sends confirmations and reminders while you’re working.
One of the UK’s lowest-priced booking systems: £8.99 a month flat, unlimited bookings, no commission.
Taking bookings as a hairdresser in St Helens
St Helens sits between Liverpool and Wigan, taking in places like Rainford, Haydock, Eccleston and Newton-le-Willows. Many local businesses are small teams or solo owners, sometimes working from a home studio or travelling to customers.
Whether your clients come from Thatto Heath, Rainford, Newton-le-Willows or Rainhill, 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.
Long colour appointments booked too short
Each service has its own length, so a full head of highlights never gets squeezed into an hour.
Late cancellations
Clients cancel or move online through their confirmation email, which frees the slot for someone else.
Messages at all hours
Clients book at 11pm on their phone instead of messaging you.

| Half head highlights | 2 hr 30 min |
| Root tint | 1 hr 30 min |
