Guide

What is an online booking system and what does it bring to salons?

An online booking system is a digital channel that lets clients see your salon’s free times and book without phoning. In 3 Numara you turn it on in salon settings; the client finds your salon in the app and chooses service, staff, day and time.

Every incoming booking lands in the same diary as the ones you write by hand. Two people can’t take the same slot; while a client picks a time, a 30-second reservation lock protects it. So there are no double bookings or confusion.

Online booking doesn’t change your routine, it adds a channel. You record the booking of a client who phones in a few taps; you decide how many days ahead bookings open and whether prices are visible.

Who is it for?

Online booking, which salons is it right for?

01

Hair salons

In busy hours you have to look after a client while the phone rings. Online booking lets clients who can’t or won’t call book themselves in the evening; you check your diary in the morning and plan the day.

02

Barbers

A call that comes while you hold the scissors is either missed or interrupts the work. When clients pick their own time, phone traffic drops and the flow of the shop isn’t disturbed.

03

Beauty and care centres

For long treatments such as skin care, manicure or laser, finding the right free time is hard. Because service durations are defined, the client only sees free times long enough for that treatment.

04

One-person businesses

Without hiring a receptionist, you set up a booking channel that’s open at night and weekends. Clients book even while asleep and you start the morning with a ready diary.

Comparison

The difference between the old way and 3 Numara.

Taking bookings
With notebook and phoneClients can only book by phone, message or by visiting the salon. If you’re unavailable the call goes unanswered and the client may go to another salon.
With 3 NumaraClients book themselves from the app 24/7. You record phone and in-salon bookings in the same diary; both channels work together.
Clashes
With notebook and phoneThe same time can be promised to two people; once noticed you have to apologise to a client and move a booking.
With 3 NumaraA taken slot is never shown to clients, and a second booking isn’t accepted when you enter one either. While a client picks a time it’s briefly held.
New clients
With notebook and phoneNew clients mostly come from word of mouth and the neighbourhood; they have to call to find you and ask prices.
With 3 NumaraYour salon can be searched in the app by city and service. The client sees free times and services and books directly.
Booking details
With notebook and phoneThe client keeps date and time in their head or a note; address and time are often asked again.
With 3 NumaraThe moment a booking is created, date, time, specialist and salon address go to the client’s WhatsApp. The client also gets directions with one tap.
Out-of-hours requests
With notebook and phoneRequests that come in evenings and weekends are answered by phone the next day; meanwhile the client may give up.
With 3 NumaraA request turns into a booking the moment it arrives. In the morning you find the new bookings ready in your notification centre.
Choosing specialist and service
With notebook and phoneThe client must ask on the phone which specialist does which job; misunderstandings are common.
With 3 NumaraThe client chooses service, duration, price (if shown) and specialist; only times when that specialist is genuinely free are visible.

FAQ

Does my client have to download the app?

No. Clients who want to book online use the app; you record bookings for your other clients and the notification goes out via WhatsApp.

Do phone and online bookings get mixed up?

No. Both land in the same diary; two bookings can’t share a slot, so your calendar stays single and tidy.

Will I know when an online booking comes in?

Yes. A new online booking reaches your notification centre instantly, and the client receives the details on WhatsApp.

Can the client see which staff member to choose?

Yes. The client chooses staff, day and time; only that employee’s free times are shown.

Can I turn online booking off later?

Yes, you can turn it on or off any time in the online booking settings, and you decide how many days ahead bookings open.

How does an online booking system work for hairdressers?

You complete your salon profile and turn on online booking. The client finds your salon in the 3 Numara app, chooses staff and a free time; the booking lands in your diary and the details go to the client on WhatsApp.

Is there an extra charge for online booking?

Online booking is included in your plan. The app is free for your clients; you only use WhatsApp message credit if you want to.

Can I record bookings myself too?

Yes. You record phone and in-salon bookings in a few taps as usual; online booking is added as a second channel.

Times are shown based on your work schedule, the employee’s leave and special-day settings and existing bookings. Just check the schedule and open days.

How many days ahead can bookings be made?
