Every chair filled, every client remembered
A salon's inventory is time: an empty chair at 2pm is revenue that never comes back. Medivot keeps chairs full with a booking page clients use from your Instagram bio, reminders that shrink no-shows, and a client record that remembers the style, the formula and the last visit, so rebooking happens before roots show.
The problems that cost you money
- Bookings live in DMs and a paper diary, and both fail on the busiest days: double bookings, forgotten slots, clients turned away
- No-shows and last-minute cancellations leave gaps you cannot refill at short notice
- Stylists cannot see their own day without calling the front desk
- Clients who loved their last visit simply forget to rebook, and drift to whichever salon answers first next time
Booking per service and per stylist
Create an event type per service with its real duration and buffer, braids take longer than a trim, and assign bookings to specific stylists with their own availability from connected calendars. Clients book from the bio link or website, answer the questions that matter (hair length, style reference, allergies), and get a confirmation with reminders automatically.
A client record worth keeping
Every visit sits on the client's CRM timeline: the service, the stylist, the notes from the last appointment. Whoever is at the desk sees the history, and the client never has to re-explain what "the usual" means.
Rebooking before they drift
The week a colour refresh or retouch is typically due, an email automation sends a friendly nudge with the booking link. Regulars get seasonal offers, and quiet Tuesdays get a same-week slot promotion to the clients who respond to them, filling gaps without discounting your peak.
A week with Medivot: salons, spas and barbershops
- Put booking in the bio. One link on Instagram, TikTok and your Google profile opens your services with real availability per stylist.
- Confirm and remind. The client picks a slot, gets a confirmation with a calendar file, and a reminder before the appointment; rescheduling is one tap.
- Serve with the history open. The stylist sees the client's notes and last visit, so the appointment starts where the last one ended.
- Nudge the rebooking. When the typical interval passes, an automated email brings the client back with a booking link, before another salon does.
Frequently asked questions
Can each stylist have their own calendar?
Yes. Services can be assigned to specific team members, each with their own availability and connected Google or Outlook calendar, so clients book the person they trust and nobody is double-booked.
How do I handle walk-ins alongside bookings?
Most salons keep certain hours or chairs for walk-ins and open the rest to online booking. Buffers and daily limits on each event type keep the booked load compatible with the walk-in flow you want.
Can clients choose a service and see how long it takes?
Yes. Each service is an event type with its own duration, price text and description, so the client knows what they are booking and you get the right amount of time blocked.
What does Medivot cost for a small salon?
Plans are billed in naira with booking, client records and email included, and every account starts with a 5-day free trial. One kept appointment a week usually covers the subscription; see the pricing page for current plans.
