Frequently Asked Questions About Salon Appointment Scheduling & Online Booking
Common questions salon and barbershop owners ask about this feature
The best salon scheduling software combines online booking, automated reminders, walk-in management, and resource scheduling in one platform. Tilavon offers all of these plus Google Reserve integration, booking deposits for no-show prevention, group booking for parties, and intake forms at booking. Plans start at $39/month with no per-booking fees, unlike competitors that charge per appointment or take a percentage of bookings.
Tilavon reduces no-shows through multiple layers: automated SMS and email reminders at 48h, 24h, and 2h before appointments; booking deposit collection at scheduling; card-on-file requirements for high-value services; and configurable cancellation policies with automatic fee enforcement. Salons using these features together report up to 50% fewer no-shows, recovering thousands in lost revenue annually.
Tilavon integrates with Google Reserve, allowing clients to book appointments directly from your Google Business Profile on Google Search and Google Maps. This means when someone searches for 'nail salon near me,' they can see your availability and book an appointment without ever visiting your website. This is included at no extra cost on all plans.
Tilavon seamlessly handles both walk-in clients and scheduled appointments in one unified calendar. Walk-ins are managed through a real-time queue with estimated wait times, while scheduled appointments are displayed alongside walk-in slots. The system prevents double-booking and can apply smart overbooking rules based on historical no-show data to maximize chair utilization.
Tilavon supports group and party bookings where a host can book multiple guests, select individual technicians and services for each person, and coordinate scheduling across stations. This is ideal for bridal parties, birthday celebrations, and corporate events. Deposits can be collected per guest or as a single group deposit.
