Treatment timing
Every service gets its own duration.
A removal and fresh detailed set can take longer than a simple gel appointment. Bookahead uses the duration you set when calculating available slots.
Selected days
Offer occasional services without opening them all week.
Choose the weekdays on which a service can be booked, while keeping your broader working hours intact.
Payment protection
Take payment at the right point.
Use deposits or full online payment for bookings, record offline payments and request payment later when that suits the appointment.
Your own booking link
Turn social interest into a confirmed slot.
Share your Bookahead website or booking link from Instagram, TikTok or your existing site so clients can view services and genuine availability without back-and-forth messages.
