This effective practice has been shown to significantly decrease no-show rates by an impressive 70%.

With MioSalon appointment management system, you can send customized reminders to clients before their appointments. 

For example, if a client has booked an appointment on December 30th, you can schedule a reminder to be sent two days prior on December 28 is can be customizable. You have complete control over when and how these reminders are sent, whether it's through WhatsApp, email, SMS, or other preferred channels. These personalized reminders ensure that clients stay informed and remember their appointments. MioSalon empowers you to create a seamless and efficient scheduling process that keeps both you and your clients on track.

Google Calendar Integration

With MioSalon advanced appointment management system, you can effortlessly keep your customers informed and synchronized with their appointments. Two days before their scheduled appointment, customers receive automated notifications, ensuring they stay updated and prepared. But it doesn't stop there.

MioSalon goes the extra mile by seamlessly integrating with Google Calendar. This means that when customers receive their reminders, they can easily sync their appointments with their Google Calendar, ensuring they have all the necessary details at their fingertips. This synchronization feature simplifies their scheduling experience and helps them stay organized amidst their busy lives.

By combining timely notifications and Google Calendar integration, MioSalon takes customer convenience to a whole new level.

Say goodbye to missed appointments and hello to a more streamlined and efficient appointment management system.

Instant Email/SMS/WhatsApp Alerts

Customers receive immediate notifications via SMS, WhatsApp, and Email for their appointments, ensuring they stay informed. Additionally, after the service is completed, customers receive follow-up notifications via Email, SMS, and WhatsApp to provide feedback and share their experience.

For example, when a customer provides their mobile number and email ID, they will receive instant notifications through email, SMS, and WhatsApp. These alerts serve as timely reminders and updates regarding their appointments, ensuring that they stay informed and prepared for their scheduled services. And after the service, customers will also receive the feedback form and invoice through these communication channels. This allows them to conveniently provide their feedback on the service and receive the necessary documentation for their records.

Recurring appointments

MioSalon recurring appointment feature simplifies scheduling by allowing clients to set up appointments at regular intervals, such as every 15 days. With MioSalon, clients receive automated reminder notifications, ensuring they never miss their appointments. It's the perfect solution for efficient appointment management.

For example, Imagine a luxury spa offering a wellness package consisting of six sessions of therapeutic massages and facials. A client named Sarah has purchased this package and scheduled her appointments for the next three weeks. In addition to the convenience of the recurring appointments feature, MioSalon provides automated reminders for each appointment.

The spa staff books Sarah's recurring appointments for the package duration, setting the desired intervals and preferred days and times for each session.

Sarah receives timely reminders via email or SMS, informing her of the date, time, and location of each appointment. These reminders help Sarah stay organized and ensure she doesn't miss any sessions.

Spam Control, No-show control and freeze

The spam control feature effectively manages spam customers who frequently book multiple slots. By utilizing this option, appointments marked as spam will ensure that such customers are unable to reach us, preventing any further booking attempts. And it reduce the No-shows

The no-show feature helps prevent unwanted bookings. If a customer repeatedly books appointments but fails to show up for the service, their status is marked as "no-show." To avoid such occurrences, customers who have a history of no-shows will be forced to make payment while booking the appointment.

The freeze feature allows customers to temporarily hold or reschedule their appointments. For instance, if a customer books an appointment but is unable to attend on the scheduled day, they can use the freeze option to postpone the appointment to a later date without losing the booking altogether. This provides flexibility and convenience for both the customer and the salon/spa.

Appointment booking with a minimum payment

MioSalon appointment booking feature with minimum payment requirement is a valuable addition, particularly for costly services and treatments. Prior to receiving the service or treatment, customers are required to make an initial payment. This feature ensures that customers have made a commitment and provides businesses with a level of assurance before delivering their services.

For example: Hair treatments such as extensions, spa treatments, and scalp treatments are often more expensive compared to other services. To secure these specialized treatments, customers are required to make an initial payment before their appointment. This helps ensure the availability of resources and the commitment of the customer.

Double Booking control

Miosalon's appointment management module includes a double booking control feature, providing you with comprehensive control over scheduling appointments. It allows you to check the availability of staff, rooms, and equipment before confirming bookings, effectively preventing double bookings. This feature minimizes confusion and conflicts, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free booking experience for your customers.

Let's consider the example of your popular service, the "Deluxe Spa Package," which requires both a private treatment room and a skilled staff member to deliver the complete experience. With the double booking control feature implemented in Miosalon, you can effectively avoid scheduling conflicts between staff and room availability.

For Example Room Availability: When a customer requests an appointment for the Deluxe Spa Package, the system checks the availability of the designated treatment room. If the room is already booked during the requested time slot, the system alerts the salon staff and prevents double booking.

For Example Staff Availability: At the same time, the system verifies the availability of the staff member required for the Deluxe Spa Package. If the staff member is already assigned to another appointment during the requested time slot, the system notifies the salon staff and prevents double booking.

By leveraging this double booking control feature, Miosalon ensures that both the treatment room and the necessary staff member are available before confirming a booking for the Deluxe Spa Package. This eliminates conflicts and guarantees a smooth and efficient booking process for both the salon staff and the customers.

Blocking the Resource

Blocking the resource feature in Miosalon simplifies the process of scheduling appointments by allowing spas and beauty clinics to easily manage the availability of rooms and resources. This feature streamlines the booking process and ensures efficient use of these assets.

For instance, let's consider a scenario where you operate a busy spa offering various treatments such as massages, facials, and body scrubs. You have multiple private rooms equipped with massage tables, towels, and other necessary equipment for these treatments.

When a customer calls to book a 90-minute massage with a specific therapist on a particular day, your receptionist can use Miosalon's Room & Equipment Booking feature. They can quickly check the availability of both the therapist and the room on the same booking screen. This eliminates the need to track availability separately and allows the receptionist to make the booking based on the availability of both resources.

If, for example, the therapist is available for the requested time slot but the designated room is already booked, the receptionist can easily view other available rooms on the same screen. They can suggest an alternative room that is free at the desired time. The customer can then choose to book the appointment in the alternative room or reschedule for another day.

This feature streamlines resource management, reduces the risk of double-booking a room or therapist, and ensures that customers receive their desired treatments at the preferred time. It saves time for the receptionist and enhances the overall booking experience for customers.

Favourite Staff Booking

This feature ensures that customers can conveniently book appointments with their preferred stylist or therapist, fostering strong customer loyalty and trust.

Many customers prefer the same stylist repeatedly, as the stylist develops a deep understanding of their needs and preferences. This strong stylist-client relationship enhances communication and ensures that the stylist can consistently deliver exceptional service tailored to the customer's unique requirements.

Imagine a person who keeps the same hairstyle for two years and always goes to their trusted stylist. The stylist knows the customer's preferences and hair well, making the whole process seamless. As a result, the customer is consistently satisfied with their hairstyle because of the established relationship and understanding between them

Consent form

The consent form feature in salon and spa appointments allows staff to gather crucial information about customers before their booking. This enables a deeper understanding of customer needs and preferences, leading to personalized solutions for an exceptional salon and spa experience.

In a spa setting, some customers may have allergies to certain products. By utilizing the consent form feature during the appointment booking process, valuable information about customer allergies can be collected. This enables the spa staff to have a clear understanding of each customer's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that suitable and safe products are used during their treatments.

Example: During the challenging times of COVID-19, the consent form feature proves to be invaluable for salon and spa owners. It enables them to gather essential information about customers, including any COVID-19 symptoms or exposure history. This proactive approach ensures the safety and well-being of both staff and customers, allowing for a secure and comfortable salon and spa experience.

Job card

The job card feature provides detailed information about the customer, including the appointment duration, preferences, requested services, and more. It serves as a blueprint for the staff, enabling them to better understand the customer's requirements and deliver personalized service.

For example, when a customer books an appointment for a service, the job card feature ensures that the staff has all the necessary details about the customer. This comprehensive printout includes information such as preferences, past treatments, and any special requirements, enabling the staff to provide personalized and tailored service.
