Quick answer

What is independent stylist booking software?

Independent stylist booking software gives a freelance beauty professional a booking link, instant WhatsApp confirmations and 24-hour reminders — without needing a full salon system. Appointly is built for India: share your link from Instagram bio, WhatsApp status or Google profile, take bookings online with prices in ₹, and let clients reschedule themselves until 2 hours before.
