Built for Hamilton hair salons
Hamilton's salons spread from the central city out to suburbs like Rototuna and Flagstaff, and a lot of clients book around children's activities and sport on weekends. Showing your Saturday times online lets families plan ahead rather than calling on Friday afternoon.
Hamilton salons serve a younger city than most, with University of Waikato and Wintec students, young families in the new northern and eastern suburbs, and clients who drive in from the surrounding towns. Graduations, school balls, Matariki and the end-of-year rush all create peaks, and Saturdays book out early through most of the year.
Each stylist keeps their own calendar and clients choose by name. BookAndGo gives colours and cuts their real lengths, holds a waitlist for full Saturdays, and lets clients hold a repeating booking for a regular cut and colour. You can close for the public holidays you take, including Matariki and Auckland Anniversary Day, which the Waikato observes.
University of Waikato's academic year shapes a lot of Hamilton salon trade. Students arrive in late February, cut and colour before orientation events, and head home in November, so the city's younger salons feel the change in summer. Graduation ceremonies bring families into town who want hair done the same morning, and Fieldays week in June fills hotels and some salon books with visitors. Clients from Cambridge, Te Awamutu and Huntly drive in and want to make a single trip count, which is why a combined cut and colour service, timed properly, matters more here than in a city where clients live around the corner.
Frequently asked
Saturdays book out fast. Can clients get on a list for cancellations?
Yes. Clients join your waitlist when the time they want is taken, and you can accept them when a spot opens up.
Can clients pick a stylist they know from a previous visit?
Yes. Clients can choose their stylist by name, and each stylist's calendar shows only the days they work.
Can we let clients book a regular cut and colour cycle?
Yes. A client can repeat a booking weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and each one stays a normal appointment.
Can we close for Matariki and other public holidays?
Yes. New Zealand public holidays are suggested for closing, and you choose which ones in a click.
Students book late at night. Do they need to call us?
No. The booking page is open at any hour, and students choose a stylist and time themselves, then get a confirmation by email.
Out-of-town clients want two services on one trip. Can they book back to back?
Yes. They can book consecutive appointments, or you can make a combined service with the full length of both.
Our trade drops when students go home for summer. Can we shorten our week for those months?
Yes. Set one-off special hours for the summer weeks or block the days you will not open, then return to your normal week when the students are back.
