Let clients book themselves in, keep each stylist’s hours and every client’s preferences in one place, and sell the shampoo at the same checkout as the cut.
SageBizet is free, browser-based salon software that gives each stylist their own calendar and hours, keeps client preferences, allergies and patch tests, takes appointments online, rings up services and retail products at the POS, and tracks product stock.
Appointments arrive by phone, text and social media while stylists have colour on a client’s hair. Answering means stopping work; not answering means losing the booking.
A two-hour colour slot that nobody turns up for is two hours of a stylist’s day gone, and without a record nobody knows which clients make a habit of it.
Shampoo, treatments and styling products sell from the shelf and get used at the basin. Nobody notices a best seller has run out until a client asks for it.
With several stylists, the owner cannot see who is busy, who sells retail and whose discounts are eating into the day.
08:30
The front-desk view lists today’s appointments on each stylist’s calendar, including bookings clients made overnight on the salon’s public booking page.
09:00
Check each client in as they arrive. Service durations and buffer times keep the next appointment from starting before the chair is ready.
11:15
A client has not arrived after the grace period, so the appointment is marked as a no-show and the slot goes to a walk-in from the queue.
13:00
The finished visit becomes the bill: each service with the stylist who did it, the shampoo they recommended, a tip for each stylist and a payment split between cash and mobile money. Card payments are taken on your own terminal and recorded as Card. Then book the next visit in the client’s usual number of weeks.
16:00
The backbar and retail low-stock lists show what to order to last the month. The call list has tomorrow’s clients to confirm, each message ready to send from the desk’s phone and ticked off with who sent it.
19:00
Count the drawer against expected cash. The command centre shows what came in and what was earned, how full each stylist’s day was and who is overdue; each stylist’s statement explains every line of their commission.
Chairs and rooms are bookable resources, services carry their own duration and buffer, and a public booking page takes appointments while stylists work.
Services and retail products go on the same sale, with order discounts, receipt notes and a shareable receipt link.
Retail products are decremented as they sell; backbar products such as colour and developer come off stock as services use them, from each service’s recipe or what the stylist recorded, with waste written off by reason; low-stock flags and a reorder list warn before anything runs out.
Stylists can see the day’s appointments and ring up sales, while reports, voids and settings stay with the owner or manager.
Staff performance, best sellers and profit by item show which stylists, services and products carry the salon.
A salon maps neatly onto SageBizet’s appointment booking: the work itself is services with their own phases and prices, chairs and rooms are stations, and each stylist has a calendar of their own with their hours, level and the services they do.
