Do my clients have to install an app?

No. They open your link in the browser and book — no account, no installation. Anyone who wants to can use the 1booq app and see every appointment in one place, but it is not required.

Can I still enter appointments myself?

Yes. You can enter appointments agreed by phone or in the salon manually. That way one calendar holds everything, however the appointment came about.

What if I do not want to accept a booking?

Turn on approval. Every booking then reaches you as a request first, and you decide.

Is it really free forever?

For solo hairdressers, yes. No trial period, no card. You only pay once you work with staff or several locations.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in the EU — the database in Ireland, the application in Frankfurt. A data processing agreement is available.

Can I work with my team?

Yes, on the Pro plan. Each team member gets their own calendar and you see everything in one overview.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. There is a free AI assistant that guides you through the setup in a chat: you say what you do and when you work, and it adds your services and hours.

Booking software for hairdressers — your own booking page, free

Your clients book their own appointment — even at ten in the evening, long after the salon has closed. You get your own booking page and a QR code, and every appointment lands in one calendar. Free forever if you work on your own.

Sound familiar?

You are mid blow-dry and the phone rings. In the evening you work through the messages and reply with the slots that are still available. On Saturday two clients turn up for the same slot because one appointment was entered incorrectly. And the ones who do not show up rarely say so in advance.

A paper appointment book forgives the odd mistake. A full calendar does not.

How it works

1
Sign up
With an email address, in a few minutes.
2
Add your services and hours
Wash, cut, blow-dry, colour — each with its own duration. If you would rather not set it up yourself, the free AI assistant guides you through it in a chat.
3
Share the link
Share your booking page wherever your clients are. A QR code goes in the window.

What does your client see?

Your client opens your booking link, picks the service and a free slot, and submits the booking. They do not have to install an app or create an account. They get a confirmation and a reminder; with approval turned on, the booking reaches you as a request first.

What you get as a hairdresser

Your own booking page

With your name, your services and your hours. Plus a QR code for the window or the styling station.

Bookings around the clock

Including late at night, when a client remembers their roots are showing again.

Phone bookings you enter yourself

Clients who prefer to call still can; you simply add the appointment manually and the calendar stays complete.

Approve before it becomes a booking

If you do not want everyone writing straight into your calendar, turn on approval.

Client records with history

Who came when, which colour, which length. Messages run in the app — your private messenger stays private.

Automatic reminders

Your client gets a reminder before the appointment — by email, and as a notification too if they have the app. It is the simplest thing you can do about empty chairs.

Simple on mobile

You manage your bookings in the app — your clients don't have to install anything

Manage your bookings from anywhere, while your clients book whichever way suits them: in the app or in the browser, even without an account.

For you

A new booking? You're notified right away. Reach your calendar from anywhere, manage appointments, and message your clients — from your phone.

For your clients

In the app they follow all their appointments in one place and get reminders. And if they'd rather not install it, they can book on your booking page in the browser — even without an account.
