Salon software for hair salon and beauty salon — appointments via WhatsApp
Salon clients prefer to book with a message or a DM, often whilst you're holding scissors or a brush. Slimbot is salon software that starts exactly there: an assistant answers messages via WhatsApp, Instagram and your website, schedules the treatment in your calendar and sends a reminder. You carry on working; the diary fills itself.
Reminder goes automaticallyOne day in advance, from your own number

Less back-and-forth messaging, fewer no-shows.
Without Slimbot

In practice
What comes into a salon — and what Slimbot does
"Can I have a cut on Saturday?"
The assistant looks in your connected calendar and suggests free times. The customer chooses, the appointment is in.
"What does balayage cost for long hair?"
Answers from your own treatment list with price and duration. If the assistant is unsure, it passes the conversation to you.
'I need to reschedule my appointment tomorrow.'
Offer new times, release the old appointment. You see the entire conversation back in the inbox.
"Do you still have availability for a bridal hairstyle?"
Special requests go to you as a draft: you decide on price and planning yourself.
'(no message — customer forgets the appointment)'
A reminder goes out from your own number the day before. An empty gap in the diary becomes visible before it happens.

Your existing business WhatsApp number and Instagram if applicable. Customers simply message the same number.
2
Enter treatments
Put your treatments, prices, duration and opening hours in the knowledge base and connect your Google Calendar.
3
Let the assistant join in
Start with suggestions that you confirm yourself; only let the assistant book itself when you are satisfied.
Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Book via WhatsApp and Instagram
Messages from WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger arrive in one inbox. The assistant asks which treatment, when and with whom, and suggests an available time slot.
Treatments with their own duration
Cut, colour, gel nails or a facial: for each appointment the service and duration are fixed, so the diary is correct.
Reminder against no-shows
A WhatsApp reminder a day in advance from your own number. An empty chair costs more than a message.
Questions about treatments
Prices, duration, aftercare, parking: the assistant answers from your own knowledge base and doesn't make up anything you haven't put in it.
Win back customers
Send clients who already message you an invitation for their next haircut or a seasonal offer, via a campaign from the same inbox.
Reviews after the visit
After a completed appointment, a friendly request for a review. You'll see the result on the customer card.
Pricing

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does the assistant do when a customer asks a question that isn't in the knowledge base?
Then the assistant doesn't guess, but puts the conversation through to you or a colleague. You see it in the inbox and answer yourself.
Can I first only have drafts made and send them myself?
Yes. You can start with drafts that you approve yourself, and later let the assistant answer more on its own.
What is salon software?
Software with which a hair salon, beauty salon or nail studio manages appointments, clients and communication. Slimbot focuses on communication and appointments: booking via WhatsApp, Instagram and website chat, reminders and follow-up in one inbox.
Does Slimbot have a till, stock management or staff rota?
No. Slimbot is not a till system and does not do stock or rotas. If you already use a salon package for that, Slimbot can handle the messages and appointment requests alongside it. Get in touch if you want to discuss an integration.
Can customers make an appointment 24/7?
Yes, the assistant answers messages in the evening and at weekends too, and schedules appointments at times that are free in your diary. You decide which appointments it may confirm itself.
Does it work for a salon with multiple team members?
Yes. Multiple colleagues work in the same inbox, can assign conversations to each other and see the same appointments. A separate diary per team member is possible via your Google Calendar setup; discuss that at the start.
What should be in a reminder for a salon appointment?
Name of the salon, treatment, date and time, address and how the customer can reschedule or cancel. Use our free appointment confirmation and reminder generator for a ready-made text.
