Scheduling Software That Understands How a Hair Salon Actually Runs
Hair scheduling has rules generic calendars don't understand: colour processes while you cut someone else, some services can overlap and some never can, and every stylist's column moves at its own speed. LightDay's diary was built around those rules — because its founders run a salon on it.
£59.99/month for salons — everything included
Processing time is bookable time
While a colour develops, a good stylist takes another client. LightDay models processing time explicitly, so the diary offers those in-between slots automatically instead of leaving 45 minutes of every colour appointment dead.
Columns, skills and turnaround
Assign services to the stylists qualified to deliver them, set per-stylist timings for the same service, and let the system enforce turnaround gaps where you need them. The diary reflects your team's real capabilities, not a generic template.
