Appointment bookings for salons — $19/month, not $200.
Clients book online, get SMS reminders, and show up. No commission per booking, no annual contracts. Just simple scheduling that works.
TableNest is online booking and customer-management software built for hair salons and barbershops, priced from $19 to $49 USD per month, flat. Every plan includes 240 / 720 / 1200 SMS confirmations included by tier, Square POS integration, Xero invoicing, an embeddable booking widget, optional Stripe-powered deposits, and a printable run sheet so the salon floor knows who each stylist is seeing today and what service was booked. There are no per-cover commissions, no contracts, and a card is captured to begin the 30-day free trial, with no charge for 30 days. Commission-based booking apps typically charge $99 to $200 per month plus per-booking fees on top — for a salon with several chairs, those fees can quietly eat a whole stylist's worth of margin every month. Operated by Fyrge Lab Pty Ltd. Stylist-attached bookings plus deposits on long appointments, in one tool.

Frequently asked questions about booking systems for hair salons
What is a booking system for hair salons?
A booking system for hair salons lets clients reserve appointments online by service type, sends SMS reminders 24 hours before, and lets staff manage the day's schedule from one dashboard. TableNest provides this from $19 USD per month with SMS confirmations included — no commission per booking, no annual contracts.
How much does a salon booking system cost?
Salon booking software typically costs between $30 and $300 per month, with the higher-end systems bundling features like inventory and payroll that most independent salons don't use. TableNest is a flat $19 (Starter), $34 (Business), or $49 (Pro) per month — appointment scheduling, SMS reminders, and online booking widget included on every tier.
Do small salons really need an online booking system?
If your salon takes more than 10 appointments a week, yes. Every missed call during service is a client who booked elsewhere. Online bookings let clients reserve 24/7, cut no-shows by 50–75% when paired with SMS reminders, and free staff to focus on the chair instead of answering the phone between cuts.
Does TableNest work with Square POS?
Yes. TableNest's Square integration is built in and included on every plan, with no extra fee or third-party connector required. Bookings sync to Square's customer database, and you can pull each client's order history into TableNest's CRM for marketing emails, birthday offers, and lapsed-client re-engagement.
Can I set different durations and buffer times for cuts, colours, and treatments?
Yes. TableNest's service-based booking lets you configure each service — cuts, colours, treatments, blow-dries — with its own duration and price. Buffer minutes between appointments are configurable per service, so a colour with processing time doesn't get stacked back-to-back with a quick fringe trim.
How do I switch to TableNest from another booking platform?
Switching takes about 30 minutes for most salons. Import your existing client list via CSV (TableNest supports notes, visit counts, and last-visit dates), embed the new booking widget on your website, and update your Google or Instagram link to point to the new booking page. There is no contract or lock-in to leave behind on the TableNest side.
Is TableNest available in the US and Canada?
Yes. TableNest is built and operated by Fyrge Lab Pty Ltd and is available in Australia, the US, and Canada. Prices are shown in your local currency, SMS confirmations are sent through Twilio for US and Canadian numbers, and every plan ships with venue-type templates for restaurants, cafes, bars, wineries, breweries, and salons.
