For salons
Whensday knows a root touch-up takes ninety minutes and a fringe takes fifteen, because you told it once. Set your services, hours and prices, and let clients ask for a time that actually exists.
Free, and no card. About twenty minutes to your first booking.
1. A three-hour balayage booked into a half-hour gap, because whoever answered the phone did not know the difference.
2. Two stylists, one diary, and a client who arrives for someone who is off on Thursdays.
3. The Saturday no-show you could have filled twice over if you had known by Friday.
Every service carries its own length, price and the people qualified to do it. Nothing gets booked into a gap it does not fit.
A booking arrives as a request. Accept it, decline it, or offer the nearest time you can actually do — and let them decide.
Confirmations when you accept, and a reminder before the appointment. The two messages that do most of the work on no-shows.
Printable from your dashboard. It opens your page, your services and your real availability — no app to install, no account to make.
The part that does the work
A QR code by the till. Clients scan it while they pay, and rebook without either of you reaching for the appointment book.
Whensday is new in South Africa. The diary, the requests inbox, the reminders and the QR code all work today, and they are what we think is worth your afternoon — a front desk that answers the phone for you, whether or not anybody ever finds you through us.
The other half is a place customers search for salons near them. That is real and it is growing, and we would rather you listed for the diary and treated any booking that arrives through search as the bonus it currently is.
Listing is free. Bookings are free. Paid placement exists, is optional, and is always labelled as paid.
Your services, your hours, your people. Twenty minutes, and the next person who asks for a time can see the answer themselves.
