Where a salon loses work without noticing.

DMs pile up

Instagram, Facebook, texts and calls. By the end of the day there are dozens of messages to answer.

Gaps in the diary

Cancellations and quiet days leave empty chairs that could have been filled.

Clients forget to rebook

Without a nudge, clients leave it longer between visits, or try somewhere new.
