What it doesn't do
There's no card reader or Tap to Pay yet: cards are taken online, at booking, by payment link or by invoice. And it isn't a marketplace: clients come from your own links, site and social.
Questions
What does a new hair salon account start with?
16 services in 4 categories, from $10 (Lip Wax) to from $200 (Keratin Treatment). Any price can be changed, and the AI and the booking page quote whatever you set.
Does the booking page ask for a deposit?
Yes, deposits are on in the hair salon setup. You set the amount per service.
Can the price depend on hair length?
Color services start as 'from' prices, so the reply says 'from' and you set the final number in the chair. The booking form asks the current length and texture before you confirm.
The next color inquiry books with a deposit, not a 'maybe'.
