51% of All Bookings Happen After Hours

More than half of all hair salon bookings occur between 8 PM and 9 AM – exactly when your team has finished for the day. While you relax, your customers book online through your website, Instagram, or Google. They immediately see available times, choose their favorite stylist, and get automatic confirmation.

More bookings without you or your team having to answer the phone. No more interrupted treatments, no more missed calls. Shore handles appointment management – automatically, around the clock.

The Biggest Revenue Killer, Finally Solved

Missed appointments cost hair salons tens of thousands of euros per year. Shore automatically sends reminders via SMS, email, or WhatsApp – 48 hours in advance and on the appointment day. The result: 55% fewer no-shows.

Plus: For high-value services, you can require deposits and push the no-show rate below 5%. Every prevented no-show saves you €50-200 in revenue.

You set it up once, Shore handles the rest.

Your Salon Runs Like Clockwork

Every stylist has their own calendar with individual working hours, breaks, and vacation days. Shore assigns appointments automatically based on availability and also considers important things like free chairs or equipment.

Shore saves photos from the last haircut, color formulas, stylist notes, as well as allergies and preferences. Shortly before the appointment, you see everything at a glance. This builds trust and turns walk-ins into loyal regulars.

Use our practical iPad app on-site – intuitive, mobile, and lightning-fast. Process payments at every treatment station without walking to the counter. Accept all payment methods from cash to Apple Pay at attractive rates.

With Shore you can set up automatic marketing campaigns: win-back campaigns, personalized offers, or birthday vouchers. Via email, SMS, or WhatsApp.

Sell products directly at the iPad POS – each sale is automatically deducted from inventory. Use newsletters and offers to specifically promote shampoos or styling tools.

Shore sends review requests after every appointment. Positive reviews get forwarded directly to Google. Negative reviews stay internal. Result: 98% of reviews for Shore customers are positive.

Why Shore? We help you save time, make your business more successful and keep your customers happier.

FAQ

Özgürcan from shore.com

Yes. To use our Instagram, Facebook, or Google booking, you don't necessarily need a website. The booking runs through a page that's "hosted" with us. That's your own little website with us (here's an example). With this page, we can activate booking on Instagram, Facebook, and Google in your profiles.

Neither complicated nor time-consuming. We support you in exporting all important data from your current software and uploading it to your Shore account. Our software is also so simple and clearly structured that most people quickly find their way around on their own. But if you need support, our product experts are very happy to help.

Shore automatically coordinates the availability of all stylists on your team. Each employee has their own calendar with individual working hours, breaks, and vacation days. During online booking, your customers can either select their favorite stylist or Shore automatically assigns the appointment to the next available employee. Resources like wash basins or treatment chairs are also automatically considered, so double bookings are ruled out. Everything syncs in real time – whether on iPad in the salon, on laptop, or mobile on smartphone.

Yes, absolutely. The Shore POS is perfect for product sales. You can set up your retail products (shampoos, care series, styling tools, etc.) with photos, prices, and article numbers. With each sale, inventory is automatically updated, and you receive warnings before popular products run out. Through the newsletter function, you can also send targeted product recommendations to customer groups – for example, the matching care series after a coloring. This way you generate additional revenue alongside your service business.

For me, Shore is a huge relief. Otherwise, I'd probably have to hire someone to handle these things. Shore saves me an incredible amount of time.

I think the booking tool is really well made. The best part is how easy it is to set up a new service. It's so simple! You don't have to link 300 different things.
