Salon booking & appointment scheduling software — simple enough to run from your text messages.
You run your own chair with no front desk. TextBook is online booking and scheduling software that works right inside the text thread your clients already use — they book and confirm by text, and you see the real dollars you keep each week. Most solo pros lose $60–$120 a month to no-shows; start recovering it for free.
No setup and no client list to import — paste one booking link in your profile and clients add themselves.

Booking by text

$85
No spreadsheet to upload, no data to migrate, no point-of-sale to figure out.
Drop one "book me by text" link into your social profile. That's the whole setup.
They tap it, reply with a number, and lock a slot — no app to download, nothing new to learn.
A simple screen shows the dollars you saved this week from no-shows a reminder prevented.
Clients reply to a text to lock a slot, all inside the thread they already message you in. Every message also quietly offers them their own booking link — so happy clients bring you new stylists for free.
One number, front and center: the dollars you kept this week because a reminder or deposit stopped a no-show. It turns "this might help" into "this already saved me $60."
Paste a single link into your profile and text it to your contacts. Clients opt themselves in within a day. No import, no spreadsheet, no manual entry.
Solo stylists lose $60 to $120 a month to no-shows on chairs they could have filled. A simple deposit nudge and a 24-hour reminder cut no-shows by 40 to 60 percent — and TextBook shows you the exact amount you kept.

"I set up online booking in the time it takes to sweep the floor. Clients text, pick a slot, done — I stopped chasing no-shows and kept about $90 my first week."

Solo stylist · Austin, TX
"Every other salon booking software wanted me to import a client list and learn a dashboard. This is just my text messages. My regulars book without downloading anything."

Barber · Chicago, IL
"The free scheduling app carried me the whole time I was part-time. The 24-hour reminder alone cut my no-shows roughly in half."

If your clients already text you and keep asking "can I just book by text?" — yes.
Stop losing evenings to phone tag over open slots.

The free plan carries you until volume justifies paying.
Whose clients already text and want to book the same way.
Clients who book by text often ask their own stylist friends how to get it. Growth comes from people who love the experience — not from ads. Every reminder you send quietly carries a "get your own booking link" note.
You run this alone, so we help you personally get your booking link live and your first reminders sending — quick, real answers, no ticket queue.
Real bookings, real reminders, real money saved — no clock, no card. Paid plans are a step you take only after the free salon booking app has already paid for itself.
