The booking diary that fills your gaps.
Online booking, automatic reminders, card deposits and consent forms — in one calm app that lives on your phone. Quicker and kinder than the big systems, at a fraction of the price.
Your day
The diary
What clients seePick your trade. Hathly sets itself up for it.
Choose salon, barber, beauty, tattoo or piercing when you sign up and you start with the right services, forms, deposits and wording — not a blank screen.
Every chair full, every formula remembered.
A diary built around chairs, not a generic calendar. See who's busy, who's got a gap this afternoon, and fill it from the waitlist in one tap.
- Processing time on colours so the next client slots in while it develops
- Rebook nudges at six weeks, roots reminders, birthday treats
- Formulas, patch-test notes and photos on the client card
Fast bookings, no no-shows.
Short appointments need a quick diary. Tap a gap, pick the service, done. Reminders go out on their own and regulars rebook from a text.
- Deposits on new clients only, or on everyone — your call
- Rebook nudge at three weeks for the regulars who drift
- One link for your Instagram bio and your Google listing
Calm bookings for careful work.
Lashes, nails, brows, skin — each with its own timing, deposit and follow-up. Clients fill in health questions before they arrive, not on your couch.
- Infill reminders at the right interval for each treatment
- Health questions and consent signed on the client's own phone
- Retail and gift vouchers rung through the same till
Deposits, consent and references — before they walk in.
Studio mode puts a deposit on every booking, paid by card into your own Stripe account. Consent and health forms are signed in advance with a proper audit trail, and bigger pieces run over several sessions with the balance tracked.
- Artist profiles with bio, Instagram and portfolio on your booking page
- Up to six reference pictures sent with the booking
- Aftercare check-ins on day 3 and day 14, touch-up window at six weeks
The paperwork, done right, without the paper.
Under-18 bookings ask for a parent or guardian's name, relationship and signature on the form, and the diary reminds you to check ID. Aftercare and the downsize reminder go out on their own.
- Guardian consent with its own signature, encrypted and versioned
- "ID to check" list on your home screen each morning
- Downsize reminder six weeks after a starter piercing
Run the whole day from your phone.
Every screen here is the actual app. Booking, reminders, deposits, forms, rebooking and no-shows handled in one place that's a pleasure to use.
A day you can read at a glance
Every chair side by side, snapped to the quarter-hour so nothing looks messy. Tap a gap to book, drag to move, swipe days. Filter to one person when it's busy. Cancelled slots fade out instead of disappearing, so you can offer them to the waitlist.
and £483 still to come — on the screen, not in a report.
Your own booking link — in your bio
Share one link on Instagram, TikTok or your Google listing and clients book themselves straight into the diary. It never offers a time you're closed or already booked, asks for a deposit if you want one, and sends the confirmation for you.
Just a link.
Deposits paid by card, straight to you
Ask for a deposit on new clients only, or on every booking. The client pays by card as they book, into your Stripe account — Hathly never touches it and never takes a cut. Reminders go out on their own and clients confirm with one tap. If someone cancels, offer the freed slot to your waitlist.
Stripe's card fee only, same as a card machine.
Signed before they arrive
Health questions, consent wording and a signature, filled in on the client's own phone from the confirmation. Reference pictures too. Everything's encrypted, versioned and sits on the booking it belongs to — no clipboard, no filing cabinet.
Starter set per trade.
Gentle nudges that rebook themselves
Hathly notices who's due and sends a warm little message — a rebook nudge for regulars who've drifted, a win-back for lapsed clients, a happy-birthday treat, an aftercare check-in. Your home screen shows what's worth doing today. All on, or all off — your call.
4 gaps worth filling this week — spotted for you.
Every client, remembered
History, notes, formulas, photos, labels and consent forms on one card. Encrypted, yours alone, never sold.
Gift vouchers & retail
Sell vouchers over the counter or online, ring retail through the same till, and see it all in Cash up.
Logins for the team
Each person sees their own column and clients. Extra logins are free and never change what you pay.
Your data, always
Export everything as CSV whenever you like. Import from Fresha, Booksy or a spreadsheet in minutes.
Studio mode, built in.
Pick tattoo or piercing at signup and Hathly switches: deposit on every booking, consent and health forms signed in advance, parent or guardian consent for under-18s, reference pictures, aftercare check-ins and a profile for every artist on your booking page.
- Bigger pieces run over several sessions with the balance tracked
- Follow-ups per service — touch-up window, downsize reminder
- Artist bio, Instagram and portfolio shown when a client picks them
Always one tap from your pocket.
Get it from the App Store for iPhone, or add Hathly to any phone's home screen and it opens full-screen like a real app. Pick a colour theme to match your place, set your own hours and days off. Perfect for solo stylists, barbers and artists as much as a six-chair shop.
