Revenue protection for hair salons
Hair salon booking software for Carlisle — protect your diary from no-shows
Velixa combines card-on-file protection for online bookings with Configured email reminders — so your Carlisle team can focus on the work rather than routine appointment chasing.

- Cancel anytime
- Stripe setup required for every merchant
Clear booking terms and reliable scheduling tools can help salons manage their diaries. Velixa lets eligible online customers save a card and digitally accept your cancellation terms. Configured email reminders give clients a chance to manage their schedule responsibly, with optional paid SMS reminders available only when enabled and funded. When a no-show does happen, staff can apply the configured policy from the dashboard and collect from a saved card where applicable. Carlisle salons can use these tools to help reduce avoidable empty slots and make income easier to manage.
