Hair salons · Nelson, Nelson Tasman
Booking software for hair salons in Nelson
Nelson salons look after a loyal local clientele and a summer wedding season, with plenty of couples choosing the region's vineyards, beaches and gardens for the day. BookAndGo shows every stylist side by side in one calendar, so a client booking a cut and colour picks a person and a time that genuinely works.
Stylists can each carry their own working week and days off inside the salon's hours, and clients can ask for a stylist by name. A booking made with a particular stylist stays with that stylist.
A flat monthly price
No per-client fees and no commission on your bookings. Your bill doesn't climb as you grow.
GST invoices with your NZBN
Tax invoices with your GST number, your NZBN and a GST line, numbered in order and sent by email.
Email reminders + a waitlist
A confirmation and a reminder by email, with a link to reschedule or cancel, and a waitlist for the times that are taken.
Built for Nelson hair salons
The stretch from November through the summer holidays is when salons here fill fastest, with end-of-year functions, Christmas and weddings stacking up. A waitlist lets clients put their name down for a full day, and you accept them into a gap when one appears.
Clients come in from right across the region, from Richmond and Stoke to Motueka and Golden Bay, so many rebook before they leave the chair. Regulars on a steady routine can hold a repeating appointment weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and everyone else can be booked in for next time at the desk.
Nelson salons serve a city with a lot of retirees, families and visitors, and a wedding trade that peaks in summer and autumn among the vineyards and beaches. Clients in Richmond, Stoke and Motueka often drive in for a stylist they have used for years.
Summer visitors and the Nelson Anniversary long weekend in early February bring a rush, and the run to Christmas fills every chair.
BookAndGo lets clients choose a stylist by name, gives colours their full time, and holds a waitlist for full weeks. Existing client lists can be imported from a CSV file.
Nelson's long sunny summer and its beaches and vineyards make the region popular for weddings, and salons see bridal parties most Saturdays from late spring to autumn. Nelson Anniversary Day in early February sits in the middle of that season. Clients in Motueka, Mapua and Wakefield drive in for a stylist they trust and want one trip to cover a cut and colour, so combined services timed properly matter. Many salons hold years of client cards and can bring that list across rather than starting again.
Frequently asked
Will a full colour client get enough time in the chair?
Every service carries its own length and buffer, so a full colour claims a longer slot than a trim and the booking page only shows starts long enough to fit it.
How do I hold a morning for a wedding party?
Block that morning and add the party's appointments yourself. The day is held for them and the rest of your booking page carries on as usual.
I have years of client cards. Can they come across?
Bring existing clients in from a CSV file, so their details and notes are there on your first day.
Can retirees keep a standing weekday time?
Yes. A repeating booking holds the same time on their cycle, and each visit can be moved on its own.
Can we close for Nelson Anniversary Day?
Yes. Block the day, and the booking page will not show times on it.
Clients from Motueka want a cut and colour on one trip. Can they book both together?
Yes. Make a combined service with the full length of both, or let clients book back-to-back appointments with the same stylist.
