Live within the week
Services, durations, prices and staff loaded in — usually an afternoon's work. You take bookings the same week.

Square Appointments handles the diary, the deposits and the reminders while you handle the client. We set it up around how your place actually runs — your services, your staff, your cancellation rules — and train the team on it.

82 million bookings ran through Square Appointments for beauty and personal-care businesses worldwide.
And 39% of them were made between 6pm and 10am — by clients who’d otherwise have rung, got no answer, and booked somewhere else.

A day on the floor
Where the time
Where the time
actually goes.
Most salons don’t lose money on the cut. They lose it on the admin around it.
01
Morning — the diary is already full
Overnight bookings landed while you slept. Reminders went out automatically at 24 hours. Nobody phoned to confirm, and nobody needed to.
02
Midday — the colour is processing
A blow-dry slots into the 35-minute gap because the system knows it's there. That's an extra service in a window that used to be a coffee break.
03
Checkout — and the rebook
Card, tip and retail product on one receipt. The next appointment is booked before they reach the door, because the prompt is on screen.
04
Close — the numbers are done
Takings, tips per stylist, commission and retail split already totalled. Money lands next working day and nobody stays late with a calculator.
Pricing

Square Appointments plans, plus a rate quoted for your business. No joining fee, no monthly minimum, and nothing extra if you have a quiet week.
Square’s published UK pricing, correct at time of writing. Processing fees apply separately — a rate quoted for your business. Not sure which tier fits? That’s what the free review is for.

Questions
The ones we get asked.
Can I move off Fresha or Treatwell without losing my clients?
Yes. Your client list exports from most platforms and imports into Square, and we rebuild forward bookings so nothing is lost. We'll also tell you honestly if your current contract has a notice period worth waiting out first.
Does it handle chair renters and self-employed staff?
It does. Each person gets their own calendar, booking link and takings, with permissions controlling what they can see. Premium adds tiered commission if you split earnings rather than charge rent.
Can I take deposits and charge for no-shows?
Yes, on Plus and above. You set the deposit, the cancellation window and the fee. The client agrees at the point of booking, so the policy enforces itself.
Can I sell retail products through the same till?
Yes — products and gift cards sit alongside services on the same receipt, with stock tracked as you sell. You can add an online store later using the same catalogue.
I'm mobile or freelance. Is this overkill?
Not at all — arguably a better fit. The Starter plan gives clients a booking link, and a Square Terminal takes card payments in someone's living room.
