Built for Dunedin beauty therapists
Dunedin's formal season, graduations and big events at the stadium bring waves of bookings for brows, lashes, nails and makeup. A booking page that handles those waves without you picking up the phone lets you keep working through the busiest weeks.
Dunedin's beauty trade has two kinds of busy. Event peaks come with balls, graduations, concerts at Forsyth Barr Stadium and the summer wedding season, when everyone wants the same Saturday. Steady demand comes from professionals, hospital staff and retirees who book regular brows, nails and facials, often in the evening after work.
Cold, dry winter air is hard on skin, so facials and skin treatments grow through the colder months, while tanning and waxing peak in spring and summer. Many clients are trying a treatment for the first time, especially students, so asking about allergies and sensitivities before the appointment is part of good practice here.
BookAndGo lets you keep event-week hours separate, ask allergy and patch-test questions while the client books, and keep a buffer for sanitising between clients. Reminder emails help clients remember around exams and busy weeks.
Dunedin's health workforce, at Dunedin Hospital, the university's health sciences and the polytechnic, works shifts and long days, and many of those clients book brows, nails and facials in the evening or at the weekend. Students book in waves around orientation, the mid-year ball and the end of semester.
Frequently asked
When a big event is on, everyone wants the same day. How do I manage it?
Clients only see times that are genuinely open, and when you are full they can join your waitlist, so nobody is double booked.
Can I check for allergies before a brow tint for a student who has never had one?
Yes. Add questions a client answers while booking, such as allergies or a first-time patch test, and you read them on the appointment before the treatment begins.
Most of my clients work or study through the day. Can I keep some treatments to the evening?
Yes. Limit a service to a time window, such as after five, and it only shows on your booking page during those hours.
Clients get busy around exams and forget appointments. Do reminders go out?
Yes. Each client receives a reminder email before their appointment, with a link to move or cancel it within your notice period if exams get in the way.
Can I open extra Saturday hours for ball and graduation weekends?
Yes. Add one-off special hours for those weekends, and let clients join the waitlist once the extra times fill.
Many clients are first-timers. Can I ask whether they have had the treatment before?
Yes. Add it as a booking question, and read the answer on the appointment before they come.
Can I keep evening appointments for shift workers?
Yes. Set later hours on the days you choose, and only those days show evening times.
