Online Booking That Works While You Sleep
Your clients want to book at 10pm on the sofa, not phone during your busiest hour. LightDay gives every business a branded public booking page with real-time availability, deposit collection and intelligent staff selection — bookings drop straight into your diary with no double-booking risk.
£59.99/month for salons, £69.99/month for clinics — every feature included
A booking page that thinks like your front desk
The portal only ever shows genuinely available slots: staff leave blocks out automatically, business hours are enforced, and linked services are respected — a colour booking automatically requires its wash and blow dry, exactly as it would if your receptionist took the call. AI smart booking can even pick the best-suited staff member based on skill level and availability, or clients can choose their favourite.
Deposits and notifications built in
Set a deposit percentage from 0–100% (or switch deposits off entirely) and collect payment at the moment of booking through Stripe. You get real-time notifications the instant a booking lands — on screen, by email, and pushed to the mobile app — plus end-of-day reminders for any unpaid deposits.

Who Benefits
Hair Salons & Barbershops
Hair salons and barbershops fill quiet weekday slots overnight — clients book the moment inspiration strikes, and per-stylist service durations keep the diary accurate.
Aesthetics Clinics
Aesthetics clinics collect deposits and trigger required consent forms at booking, so clients arrive with paperwork done and skin-in-the-game against no-shows.
Klarna & Clearpay Built In
Clients spread the cost of treatments while you're paid in full upfront — both major UK buy-now-pay-later options included with every plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do clients need an app to book online?
No — your booking page works in any browser on any device. Clients simply follow your link, pick a service, staff member and time, and pay any deposit.
Can I control which services are bookable online?
Yes — you decide exactly which services, staff and times appear on your public page, and linked-service rules are enforced automatically.
Does online booking cost extra?
No. The full booking portal is included with every LightDay plan — £59.99/month for salons, £69.99/month for clinics, with no per-booking fees or commission.
Can clients pay with Klarna or Clearpay when booking?
Yes — LightDay has Klarna and Clearpay built in, so clients can spread the cost of treatments while you're paid upfront.
