Stay with the client.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
It's Aoibhe. I'd like a full colour and a cut Saturday.
Welcome back. That's about three hours with Niamh. 14:00 works. Toner included for long hair.
Perfect. Same shade as last time.
Noted on your profile. €30 deposit holds the slot. Link on the way.
Four steps. One protected diary.
Capture the brief
Service goals, allergies, timing. Before the slot is promised.
Book with buffers
Realistic durations and resource fit. Fewer overlaps.
Secure the slot
Deposits or card holds per your policy. Especially on peak days.
Fill & follow up
Waitlist converts. Reminders cut no-shows. Reviews when deserved.
Saturdays protected. Waitlists working.
Representative averages across barbershops, spas, and beauty rooms after 90 days with Elyx on phone, diary, and deposits.
Colour and extensions book with realistic durations. The chair never sits half-filled.
Premium services hold because the deposit ask happens gracefully on the call.
Cancellations get offered to three guests in 90 seconds. Someone always taps.
