Elyx fills the diary.

Beauty and grooming are diary businesses: buffers, deposits, and tone matter. Elyx books services that fit time and skill, captures intake once, and keeps recovery moving.

One intake story.
Multiple service columns.

Without ElyxPressure → loss
  • Walk-ins and rings colliding. Double-books and awkward reshuffles.
  • Saturday peaks where no-shows wipe margin on colour and extension slots.
  • Therapists and stylists answering variants of 'how much?' between clients.
  • Multiple columns (colour, nails, spa) without a single intake story.
With ElyxRules → outcome
  • Live diary booking with buffers, durations, and multi-service logic.
  • Deposits and cancellation rules that protect high-cost appointments.
  • Waitlist and last-minute fill when cancellations drop.
  • Upsells and prep questions captured before the chair. Notes your team can see.

Premium phone tone.
Premium diary discipline.

Callers hear the chair experience you train for. The diary protects the services you sell.

Booking Engine + voice

  • Availability that respects stylist, room, or bed resources. Your rules.
  • Conversational booking with services, modifiers, and add-ons callers expect.
  • Multi-step services (colour + toner + cut) chained into a single visit with real buffers.

Payments & recovery

  • Deposits, cancellation fees, and no-show follow-up aligned to service value.
  • Waitlist fill with payment link at the first offer, not the fourth text.
  • Reviews and rebook prompts when the cut was great. Structured, not guilt texts.

Dedicated module option

  • Need full vertical depth? Compare with our Salons & Spas module for deepest diary + ops.
  • Same Elyx OS underneath. Upgrade when the operation grows past core.
  • Move intake, payments, and recovery without re-platforming or retraining the desk.

Colour plus cut.
Three hours held in one dialogue.

A VIP rings for a Saturday slot. Elyx lines up colour, toner, and cut with the right stylist and real buffers, then captures a €30 deposit. Reception doesn't pick up.
