We don't just build salon software — we run a real salon. LightDay was born from the frustration of tools that don't understand the day-to-day reality of hairdressing. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves.
From colour formula tracking to marketing campaigns, LightDay covers every aspect of running a thriving hair salon.
Record and retrieve precise colour formulas for every client — brand, ratio, developer volume, processing time, and notes. Perfect consistency, every visit.
Book appointments in seconds with an intuitive drag-and-drop diary. Handle walk-ins, recurring bookings, and multi-service appointments effortlessly.
Store inspiration images and style references against each client's profile. Instantly recall what they loved last time or explore new ideas together.
Automated SMS and email reminders reduce no-shows dramatically. Clients can confirm or reschedule directly from the reminder notification.
Create and send professional email campaigns, birthday offers, and targeted promotions — all from your dashboard. No separate marketing platform needed.
Real-time revenue dashboards, stylist performance metrics, service profitability analysis, and trend forecasting to help you grow smarter.
Comprehensive client profiles with full appointment history, preferences, colour formulas, notes, consent records, and communication logs.
Track product inventory, set reorder alerts, monitor usage per service, and never run out of the essentials mid-appointment again.
Capture your best work with before-and-after photos organised into a visual timeline for every client. Tag by treatment type, add session notes, and track marketing consent — all in one place.
The gift that never misses. Branded digital vouchers purchased online or created in-salon, with unique codes, 24-month expiry, and full tracking of balance and redemption.
Automatically pair services that belong together. When a client books a colour, they're prompted to add the required wash and blow dry — ensuring complete bookings every time, both in-salon and on your online portal.
Text your clients directly to fill quiet days, promote flash sales, announce new services, or send birthday greetings. Filter by service history, schedule sends, and track delivery — all from your dashboard.
