Knotless, box braids, cornrows, feed-ins, faux locs and take-downs. Melan Kair prices by length and size, blocks the real time your styles take, and holds every long slot with a deposit so your longest day is never your riskiest.
When one appointment can be six or eight hours, a single no-show costs more than a week of small services. Generic salon software quietly assumes a forty minute slot, so it lets clients book a full set into a gap that was never big enough, and gives you nothing to protect the day you set aside.
Shoulder, bra strap or waist. Jumbo, medium, small or micro. The price and the time adjust as the client picks, so the quote is right before they book.
Set it as an option with its own price. No more working it out over DMs after they have already booked.
Take a deposit that reflects the slot you are holding. Serious clients pay it without blinking, and the rest never block your day.
Charge properly for take-downs and wash-outs instead of squeezing them in as a favour that eats an hour.
Set your grace period and your policy once, and let every confirmation carry it so nobody claims they did not know.
Braids come out in six to eight weeks. A reminder at the right point books the next set before they start looking elsewhere.
A client finds you on Instagram and taps your link. She picks knotless braids, waist length, medium size, hair provided. The system quotes her the right price, shows her that it needs six hours, and offers only the days you have that much time free. She pays her deposit and the slot is yours.
She gets a confirmation with your address, your late policy and what to arrive with. A reminder lands the day before. You braid, she pays the balance on the day, and a review request goes out that evening while the style is fresh. Seven weeks later she gets a nudge that it is time for a take-down and a new set, and books again without you lifting a finger.
The right system for braiding handles multi-hour appointments, prices by length and size, takes deposits, and reminds clients when a style is due to come out. Melan Kair is built specifically for this, from £30 a month after setup.
Yes. Add length and size as options on each service, each with its own price and time adjustment, so a waist-length micro set quotes and blocks correctly against a shoulder-length jumbo one.
Yes, as its own bookable service with its own duration. Most braiders undercharge for take-downs simply because there is nowhere obvious to put them.
You set the amount per service. The client pays it at the moment of booking, and the balance is taken on the day or in advance, whichever you prefer.
Yes. Availability is driven by the real duration of the service they chose, so a six hour style is only ever offered on days with six hours free.
