TimeTailor Salon Software Launches Appointment Buffer Time

Image
The TimeTailor team is excited to announce that our salon booking software allows beauty professionals to set buffer time between appointments! Helping teams incorporate breathing room for cleaning, preparation, or equipment setup into the schedule, owners, managers, and beauty professionals can add customized buffer periods to any service: “It’s not enough to just fill every appointment slot available”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor. “There’s so much happening between clients as well: someone needs to clean the room, sanitize the equipment, prepare formulas, products, or even take a break to reset before the next client walks in.” If workarounds such as manually blocking time off between appointments used to make calendars hard to manage, reducing visibility into what team members are actually available at certain times, with our salon scheduling software , the process becomes seamless. Once a service is added to the service menu, the new option can be activated inside S...

TimeTailor Introduces Stylist Pricing and Duration

Image
The TimeTailor team is excited to announce that our salon booking software now allows beauty professionals to set different prices and durations for the same service based on the stylist performing it, so experience, demand, and availability can be showcased inside the online service menu: “Every expert is unique, and your salon software should reflect that”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor. “A senior stylist with years of experience, a specialist with a strong online following, and a newer addition to the team may all provide the same core service, but their time, expertise, and demand can be extremely different.” Before, using a salon scheduling software meant choosing between keeping one price and duration for a service across the entire team or creating duplicates for different employees. With the addition of level-based pricing and duration, we ensure salons can set up online catalogues that completely reflect team members’ experience, speed, and availability without ...

Our team is excited to announce that the TimeTailor salon booking software allows beauty professionals to accept in-store payments directly on iOS devices without needing to purchase any costly POS hardware! In addition to cash, cards, and gift cards, the Tap to Pay function helps salons, barbershops, spas, and beauty clinics cut down on manual work: “Payments are also part of the client journey”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor. “With this launch, we’re bringing them directly into our salon booking system for iOS!” Transactions, now completely integrated into the salon software workflow, can be completed at the point of service, so professionals no longer need to manage separate systems for appointments, clients, and payments: “Running a salon involves hundreds of small interactions every single day”, Oliver added. “We wanted to make the end of the visit feel as simple and connected as the rest of the experience. With Tap to Pay now available on iOS devices, teams and so...

TimeTailor Introduces In-Store Payments for Android Devices

Image
Eliminating the need for expensive POS hardware and providing faster checkout experiences, the TimeTailor team is excited to announce the launch of in-store payments for Android devices! If salons, barbershops, spas, and beauty clinics could use options like cash, cards, and gift cards before, our salon booking software now offers an additional tap-to-pay function: “Checkout is one of the most important interactions between a salon and its clients”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor, “so it shouldn’t mark the moment where the experience becomes slow, fragmented, or interrupted!” Rather than having team members move between the salon scheduling software and separate terminals, they can now finalize transactions directly on their phones in just a few moments: “Having in-store payments for Android devices means beauty professionals can now complete the entire customer journey in one simple workflow”, Oliver added. Given that specialists in the beauty services industry have d...

Consent forms , used before services take place to request important information such as personal details, medical history, and media consent, are now available inside our salon booking software ! With the introduction of customized digital consent forms, our system reduces manual work, helps specialists prepare for appointments, and improves communication between experts and their clients by clearly setting expectations. Businesses can use our salon management software to create new forms from scratch or choose from existing templates centered around their services: media consent, barbershop, beauty salon, hair salon, or nail salon. While creating a new form, just select the information you need from the following categories: Client information (name, date of birth, phone number) Health information (allergies, medical conditions, medication) Treatment consent (patch test, risk consent) Media consent (before and after photos, social media) General consent Once a new consent form is cr...

TimeTailor Salon Software Introduces a Card-On-File Feature

Image
While developing this new addition, our salon booking software team aimed to fix one of the most common problems faced by beauty professionals today: managing payments while protecting revenue from last-minute cancellations and no-shows. As a result, salons can now process approved charges faster, charge cancellation fees according to their policies, and reduce waiting times during checkout by eliminating the need to re-enter card details just by securely saving their customer’s information: “Our mission has always been to help salon owners spend less time on administrative work and more time on growing the business and doing what they love”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor. Perfect for the evolving needs of beauty businesses today, our salon scheduling software intends to offer the same level of convenience customers receive from service providers in other industries: “Salons lose precious time and revenue dealing with missed appointments and manual checkout. The card-on-...
