The problem
Paper books and DMs can't handle Friday afternoon.
When the shop fills up, the calendar turns into a game of telephone between the front desk, the staff and the client.
- 01
The squeeze-in that becomes a clash
Someone books in the notebook, someone else on WhatsApp, and at 3 PM two clients are waiting for the same chair.
- 02
The no-show nobody fills
The client didn't show, the slot sat empty, and whoever asked “let me know if anything opens up” was lost in a chat.
- 03
Month-end guesswork
What each service earned and each stylist's commission come from a spreadsheet built from memory.
Built-in AI assistant
Meet Elya. The receptionist who never leaves a client on read.
Elya's AI replies to messages on WhatsApp, Instagram, email and your website chat, understands what the client wants and books the appointment straight into the calendar. You cut, color, treat. She handles the conversation.
- Website chat
Any time
Replies at 2 AM, on Sundays and mid-haircut, when nobody can pick up the phone.
Only real openings
Offers what's free on the calendar, respecting each staff member's shifts, blocked time and service length.
Books, reschedules, cancels
The appointment goes straight into the right staff member's column, and the team sees it instantly.
Answers the usual questions
Prices, duration, address, payment options: whatever you teach her, she answers your way.
Calls a human when needed
A complaint or an unusual request goes to someone on the team, with the whole conversation.
Features
Everything the front desk needs, on one screen.
Built with people who spend the day behind the chair: few screens, fast to tap, and your business rules, not a generic system's.
dragDrag to reschedule
Move the time or hand the appointment to someone else by dragging the block. Pull the bottom edge to make the service longer.
no clashesNever two clients in one chair
Elya refuses any booking that overlaps another appointment or blocked time, and says exactly which slot is taken.
shiftsBusiness hours and shifts
Set when you open and each staff member's shifts, with lunch, days off and holidays. Outside a shift shows in gray; the owner can still book the regular who only comes at 7:30 PM.
catalogServices and products with commission
Price, duration, category and commission on every item. One appointment can hold several services: duration and price add up, and the agreed price is saved on the appointment.
clientsClients by phone number
Profiles are found by phone, so returning clients aren't duplicated. For walk-ins, book with just a name.
linkBooking link
Clients pick the service, staff member and time on their own, from the link in your Instagram bio or on WhatsApp, and only see what's free.
remindersAutomatic reminders
Confirmation at booking and a reminder before the visit, so chairs don't sit empty because someone forgot.
checkoutCheckout and commissions
Daily close and each staff member's commission calculated from completed appointments, no spreadsheet.
Every appointment has a status, and the screen only offers the next step that makes sense.

- Confirmed
- Completed
- No-show

Waitlist
Who would come if a chair opened up.
Note down who wants a slot that doesn't exist yet: the days, the time of day, the services and with whom. When someone cancels or no-shows, Elya shows who on the list fits that gap, and you book them with one tap.
- Every entry shows where it fits on the calendar
- Booking from the list brings the client and services along
- Past dates drop off the list on their own

FAQ
Before you ask.
Is Elya only for barbershops?
No. Elya works for any business that runs on appointments with a team: salons, nail studios, med spas, studios, clinics and pet groomers.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in the browser on desktop, tablet or phone, nothing to install. On a phone the calendar shows three days with one row per staff member. It updates on its own on every device the team uses.
Can staff see each other's calendars?
Each staff member books, reschedules and closes their own appointments. Whoever manages the business can edit every column, the catalog, shifts and the team list.
Do I need emails to add my team?
No. A name and phone number are enough to put someone on the calendar. Nobody gets an invite unless you want them to.
Can clients book on their own?
Yes, two ways: by chatting with Elya on WhatsApp, Instagram, email or website chat, or through the booking link, picking the service, staff member and time on a screen.
Can Elya book something wrong?
She only offers slots the calendar accepts: no overlap with other appointments, outside blocked time and within shifts. Everything she books shows on the calendar with a Elya tag, and the team can take over any conversation.
Do I need a new WhatsApp number?
No. We connect the number your business already uses, and conversations from every channel land in one shared inbox the team can follow.
How much does it cost?
