Your chair is full. Your admin shouldn't be.

Booking and client software built around how our salons actually run: six-hour installs, deposits that protect your day, length and size pricing, and clients who rebook themselves.

The problem

Most booking software was never built for our work.

Generic salon systems assume a forty minute appointment, one flat price and a client who never needs a consultation. That is not braiding. It is not locs, and it is not a full install.

Running it the hard way

  • Quoting the same five questions in your DMs, all day
  • A no-show on a six hour slot you turned other clients away for
  • Chasing the balance after the style is already done
  • Someone booking a full head into a two hour gap
  • Regulars drifting because nobody reminded them it had been eight weeks

Running it on Melan Kair

  • Your link answers the questions, with prices by length and size
  • A deposit holds the slot before it is yours to lose
  • Paid up front or on the day, your call per service
  • Every style blocks its real duration, automatically
  • Take-out and retwist reminders that bring them back on cycle
What you get

Built around the way you actually work.

Long appointments, done right

Every service carries its true length, from a two hour cornrow set to an eight hour knotless install. Nothing gets double booked over your day.

Deposits that protect you

Set a deposit per service and take it at booking. The clients who are serious stay, and your longest days stop being the riskiest.

Length & size pricing

Shoulder to waist. Jumbo to micro. Hair provided or bring your own. Price and duration adjust as they choose, so the quote is right first time.

Out of the DMs

One link handles the questions, the quote, the slot and the payment. Your inbox goes back to being somewhere you talk to people.

Rebooking on cycle

Protective styles come out on a rhythm. Automatic reminders at four, six or eight weeks bring clients back before they look elsewhere.

Reviews that build you

A request goes out after every appointment while the style is still fresh. Your reputation grows without you asking twice.

The work

Styles that take hours deserve a system that respects them.

Why it pays

Three things it changes about the business.

01

It protects your income

A no-show on a full day is not a lost appointment, it is a lost day. Deposits and reminders together mean the slot you held is the slot that turns up. The longer your services, the more this is worth to you.

02

It gives you your evenings back

Quotes, confirmations, reminders, receipts and review requests all send themselves. The admin that used to happen at midnight happens while you are braiding.

03

It keeps clients on cycle

Protective styles come down every four to eight weeks. A reminder at the right moment turns a one-off into a regular, and regulars are what make the diary predictable. Your existing clients are the cheapest bookings you will ever get.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Who is Melan Kair for? +

Melan Kair is built for Afro hair and beauty businesses: braiders, natural hair and loc specialists, barbers, wig and weave installers, and mobile or home-based stylists. If you take appointments and your styles take hours rather than minutes, it is built around how you actually work.

Does it handle long appointments properly? +

Yes, and this is the main reason we built it. A knotless set can run six to eight hours. Every service carries its own true duration, so a full head blocks the right amount of time and nothing gets booked on top of it.

Can I take deposits? +

Yes, per service. A deposit at the point of booking is the single most effective way to protect a long slot, and clients are used to paying one. You set the amount and the terms.

Can clients still message me on Instagram? +

They can, but they will not need to. Your booking link does the back and forth for you: services, prices, length and size options, availability and payment. Most stylists find their DMs quieten down within a fortnight.

What if my prices change with length and size? +

Build them in as options. Shoulder, bra strap or waist. Jumbo through to micro. Hair provided or bring your own. The price and the duration adjust as the client chooses, so the quote is right before they book.

How much does it cost? +

Plans start at £80 to set up and £30 a month. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
