AI Booking and Client Management Software for NZ Salons
Custom-built software for NZ beauty salons and wellness businesses. Manage bookings, reduce no-shows, and automate marketing. AI-powered, delivered in 48 hours, from $399.
Why Beauty & Wellness Businesses Need Smarter Software
NZ's beauty and wellness industry is booming, but most salons run on fragmented tools: a booking system here, social media there, and manual follow-ups in between. Whether you're a solo nail tech or a multi-chair salon, the admin burden of managing clients, reviews, and marketing takes time away from the chair. Custom AI-powered software connects everything into one seamless workflow designed for how beauty businesses actually operate.
No-Shows and Last-Minute Cancellations
Empty chairs cost money. Without smart reminder sequences and automated rebooking, cancellations turn into lost revenue.
Social Media Is a Full-Time Job
Instagram drives most new clients, but creating consistent, professional content while running appointments is nearly impossible.
Scattered Client Records
Client preferences, allergy notes, and rebooking history spread across Timely, a notebook, and your memory, making personalised service harder than it should be.
What an effective website looks like for this industry
Based on real NZ industry research, sampled from 3 to 5 live websites in this industry plus the relevant regulator and association sources.
What it must do
- ✓Online booking deep-linked from every page, with deposit at booking ($20-50 via Stripe through Fresha or Timely)
- ✓Service price list with realistic 'from' prices and time estimates
- ✓Stylist / therapist profiles with portfolio, specialty (balayage, brow lamination, deep tissue), individual booking links
- ✓Gallery of recent work, ideally pulled from Instagram
- ✓Product / brand pillars on display: Olaplex, Dermalogica, Wella, Kerastase, OPI, Murad
- ✓Cancellation and deposit policy stated clearly (24-hour notice, deposit forfeited otherwise)
- ✓About page naming the owner with NZ Certificate in Hairdressing / Beauty Therapy training references
Recommended package
Business Website (Starter)
$199+
The salon's bookings live in Fresha or Timely, not in our checkout. The website's job is to be the marketing front door and the credibility check, with the booking widget plus services plus gallery plus team. Starter handles this. Bump to Store when retail (haircare, candles, gift vouchers) is a real revenue line.

- Health (Hairdressers) Regulations 1980 and local territorial authority hairdresser licence
