Built for Hawke's Bay hair salons
Many Hawke's Bay clients come in from rural areas and plan a trip into town around several errands. Being able to book a time ahead, and get a reminder before the day, makes that trip easier to plan.
Hawke's Bay salons serve two cities and several towns. Clients split their time between Napier and Hastings, and many drive in from Havelock North, Taradale and the rural areas. Summer weddings at wineries fill Saturdays early, the Art Deco Festival in February brings period styling, and the Hawke's Bay Anniversary long weekend in October is a busy few days before it.
Clients often follow one stylist between salons, so letting them book by name matters more than the shop's address. Out-of-town clients want a reminder before the day.
BookAndGo lets clients choose a stylist by name, holds a waitlist for wedding Saturdays, and sends reminders by email. Email campaigns let you tell clients about new services.
Hawke's Bay's wine country hosts a lot of weddings, and from late spring to early autumn many salons have a bridal party most Saturdays, sometimes needing two or three stylists from early morning. Ball season in the winter term fills Fridays, and EIT's graduation in Taradale brings families into town. Retirees in Havelock North and Taradale make up a steady weekday base who book well ahead and keep the same stylist for years, so a repeating booking and an email reminder do much of the work of keeping them.
Hawke's Bay Anniversary Day falls on the Friday before Labour Day, so late October gives the region a four-day weekend, and the days before it fill with clients getting ready for weddings, trips away and family gatherings. Opening an extra evening that week, and letting clients join the waitlist when it fills, catches that rush.

Yes. Clients choose a stylist by name, and only see the days that stylist works in your salon.
