Quick answer

What is beauty parlour software?

Beauty parlour software is a tool that helps a parlour owner accept bookings online and automate client communication instead of typing every message by hand. For a small Indian beauty parlour, that means one booking link (shared on Instagram, WhatsApp status or a printed QR at reception), a shared calendar for the whole parlour, instant WhatsApp confirmations on every booking, a 24-hour WhatsApp reminder before the appointment, and self-service rescheduling from a manage link. Appointly does exactly that — for threading, waxing, facials, bridal, hair care and every other parlour service, with prices listed in ₹.

What a small beauty parlour actually needs software to fix

Problem

Clients WhatsApp for 'threading + upper lip + eyebrow?' rates all day. You answer the same three prices 20 times.

With Appointly

The booking page lists every service with duration and price in ₹. Clients read the answer before they book — the DMs stop.

Problem

You booked a bridal at 10 AM and threading at 10:30. The bride arrives, the threading client walks in, both are annoyed.

With Appointly

Service durations plus a shared calendar. A 3-hour bridal blocks the slot properly — the 10:30 threading only appears as bookable after 1 PM.

Problem

Facials get cancelled last-minute, the slot is empty, another client would have taken it if she'd known.

With Appointly

Clients cancel or reschedule themselves from the WhatsApp manage link until 2 hours before — the freed slot goes back online for anyone else to grab.

Problem

Karva Chauth, Diwali and wedding season: 4× normal demand, and you double-book because two DMs agree to '11 AM'.

With Appointly

Live availability on the booking page plus per-day capacity overrides — cap 11 AM at a sensible number for festival day without redoing your whole schedule.

Built for the way small Indian beauty parlours actually run

One dashboard, one shared calendar, one link to share everywhere — all priced in ₹.

Parlour service menu in ₹

Threading, upper lip, eyebrow, full-arm waxing, cleanup, facial, hair spa, hair cut, hair colour, bridal package — each with duration and price in rupees. Clients see the price before they book.

One shared parlour calendar

Every booking — WhatsApp link, Instagram bio, QR at reception, or manual — lands in the same calendar the whole parlour sees on Android or web.

Automatic WhatsApp confirmations

The moment a client books, an instant WhatsApp confirmation goes out with a manage link. No typing, no copy-paste.

24-hour WhatsApp reminders

Automatic reminder the day before the appointment — sent through approved WhatsApp Business messaging, not your personal number.

Customer self-reschedule

Clients pick a new slot themselves from the manage link, up to 2 hours before. The old slot frees up online for someone else.

Bridal duration awareness

A 3-hour bridal blocks the calendar properly so short services don't accidentally overlap. Cleanups don't get squeezed into a threading gap.

Opening hours + festive closures

Set weekly parlour hours once. Add per-date overrides for Diwali, Rakhi, Holi, Karva Chauth or a wedding you're attending — the booking page respects them.

Per-day parallel capacity

Cap parallel appointments on festival mornings so 6 clients at 11 AM don't crash into each other, then raise the cap for a slow Tuesday.

What small parlour owners get on day one

  • The rate-list DMs stop

    Every service, duration and ₹ price is on the booking page. 'Threading kitna?' becomes 'booked at 4 PM'.

  • Fewer no-shows on facials and bridal

    The automatic 24-hour WhatsApp reminder catches the client who genuinely forgot. Silent clients quietly cancel instead of ghosting.

  • Wedding-season chaos becomes manageable

    Per-day capacity overrides plus live availability mean Karva Chauth 11 AM caps itself — no double bookings, no walk-outs.

  • One link for Instagram and WhatsApp status

    Same booking link everywhere your parlour already has an audience. One thing to update.

  • Runs on your phone

    Android app for the parlour team. Check the day between clients — no laptop required.

  • Priced for a single parlour

    ₹649/mo or ₹6,999/yr in ₹, billed through Stripe. Not enterprise pricing for features you'll never use.
