Clients book their own sessions on the WhatsApp you already use, put the deposit down before the slot is held, and get reminded the day before — so a seven-hour booking never turns into an empty studio.
Every held row was paid for before it was held. The dashed one is what happens without that.
Why this trade, specifically
Nobody fills a four-hour gap at two hours' notice. That is the difference between a missed haircut and a missed session, and it is why deposits stopped being optional in this trade long before anyone built software for it.
Figures are the defaults in this demo studio — yours go in when we set it up.
The part that pays for it
It asks for the money, tells them how to send it by Whish or OMT, and holds the time for a day. If it doesn't arrive, the slot goes back on the board by itself — you don't have to chase anyone or remember to free it.
A regular who has never missed isn't asked for money to sit in your chair. Someone who has burned two afternoons is. That judgement is the thing most booking software refuses to make.
How it works
Nothing changes for your client. They write to the studio the way they always have.
"how much for a small one on the forearm". Arabic, English, franco, voice-note spelling. It answers while you are asleep.
Only blocks long enough for the work they asked for, on days you actually work, with your setup and clean-down time already taken out.
It asks, explains how to send it, and holds the time for 24 hours. No money, no hold — automatically.
With a button to move it, so a session that isn't happening comes back to you the night before instead of at noon the next day.
Big pieces
Pick every second Thursday and it lays the whole run down in one go, skipping the weeks you're closed and telling you which dates it couldn't take rather than quietly shifting them.
Every two, three or four weeks, up to six sittings. Cancel one date or the whole run.
Each with their own days, their own hours, and their own list of what they do.
Half an hour between clients that nobody can book into. Set once, honoured everywhere.
Reply by hand and it goes quiet in that chat for a few hours. It never talks over you.
Your name and your photo on a WhatsApp number of its own. Clients see the place they already follow.
No deposit asked for a talk about an idea — only for time on the table.

Questions
No. Your own number, chats and app stay exactly as they are. On every plan your bookings come in on a WhatsApp number we set up for your studio, at no extra cost. If you'd rather use your existing WhatsApp Business number, ask us: we check first whether that works for your number, before anything changes.
It asks for it and tells them to send it by Whish, OMT or in person, then holds the slot for a day. You mark it received in one tap. There's no card processor and no cut taken.
Consultations are a service like any other — free, short, no deposit. You quote in the room, then the sitting gets booked at the right length.
Yes. Sessions need notice — twelve hours by default, and you can set it longer. Nobody books eight hours of your Saturday at midnight.
No. They message you exactly the way they do today. Most won't notice anything changed except that you answer instantly.
Only you. Each studio runs on its own separate system with its own password. No studio can see another's clients.
