Salon booking software

Hair salon booking software for Castleford — help protect revenue from no-shows

Late cancellations and no-shows can cost salons revenue. Velixa gives Castleford salons card-on-file protection for eligible online bookings — so when a policy applies, staff can collect a configured fee from a saved card from a usable saved card, subject to payment approval.

No charge during your free trial. Cancel any time.

Running a salon in Castleford means building your diary carefully — and protecting it just as carefully. A last-minute cancellation or a client who does not appear can leave time in the schedule unused. For eligible standard online bookings, clients save their card securely and accept your cancellation terms before the appointment is confirmed. For eligible standard card-on-file bookings with no deposit configured, saving a card does not take an upfront card charge. If a client does not show, staff can apply the configured fee from the dashboard; where a saved card and policy apply, it can be collected from a usable saved card, subject to payment approval. Configured email reminders are scheduled ahead of eligible appointments, and optional paid SMS reminders are available only when enabled and funded. These tools help keep bookings aligned with your configured availability.
