Free salon booking software that your clients will actually use
Hair salons, barbers, nail bars and beauty clinics take bookings around the clock with a page clients understand in seconds. Book by stylist, add a toner or a treatment, get a reminder, move it themselves. You stop answering the phone mid-blow-wave.
Works from your Instagram bio, Facebook page, Google Business Profile or your own website.
Built for how a salon books
A salon isn't one diary, it's one per chair. RosterMates treats every stylist as their own bookable calendar, so a client who wants Aroha sees Aroha's free times, and a walk-in-style “anyone” booking goes to whoever has the lightest day. Services carry their true length, so a full-head colour never gets squeezed into a fringe-trim gap.
No card, no installer. Do it between clients.
Sign up free
Enter your business name and email. That's the whole form. Your page gets an address like rostermates.com/book/your-business straight away.
Add services and hours
Name each thing people can book, how long it takes and what it costs. Tick the days you're open. Pick a theme so it matches your brand. The preview updates as you go.
Share the link or paste the widget
Put the link in your website menu, Google Business Profile or Instagram bio. Or paste one short snippet into your site and the booking calendar appears right there.
The same tools the paid salon apps sell, without the monthly fee or the per-booking cut.
One diary per stylist
Each stylist is their own chair. Clients pick a person or “no preference”, and the times shown are that person's real gaps. Leave days are hidden automatically.
Services priced and timed
Women's cut 45 min $85, men's cut 30 min $45, balayage 3 h from $260. The price shows on the page; the time shapes the calendar.
Add-ons and extras
Toner, Olaplex, scalp treatment, hot towel shave. Attach them to the services they belong with. The slot grows to fit and the total is shown before they confirm.
Hours, notice and gaps
Open Tuesday to Saturday, late night Thursday. Two hours' notice. A ten-minute gap between clients. Bookings up to eight weeks ahead. All yours to set.
Fewer no-shows
A confirmation with a calendar invite, a reminder before the appointment, and a self-service link to move or cancel. Freed times go straight back on the page.
Looks like your salon
Ten themes or your own colours and font, with a live preview. The page and the widget on your website match your branding, not ours.
Most salon booking apps charge a monthly fee per stylist, or take a percentage of every booking made through their marketplace. This doesn't.
Because we think you'll like working with us. The booking page is how we introduce ourselves.
RosterMates is a rostering, timesheet and payroll system built in New Zealand. Most businesses that need a booking page also run a team, and most of them are paying more than they should for rostering or payroll software they only half use. So we give the booking page away, with nothing held back, and make a simple bet: once you're using it and you've dealt with us, you'll want to take the time to move your rostering and payroll across too.
Support you'll actually get
Founder-led, NZ-based, in NZ time. Free setup, training and onboarding, an AI help assistant inside the app that hands you to a real person when it can't answer, and phone call-backs when you'd rather talk. Customer requests regularly become features.
How support works →A price that stays sensible
$8 per employee per month for everything: rosters, timesheets, leave, messaging, events, forms and payroll exports. No per-module add-ons, no setup fee, no minimum seats. Compare it line by line with the rostering and payroll systems you already know.
See the comparisons →So much more included
Drag-and-drop rosters and auto-rostering, kiosk and geofenced clock-in, timesheets that approve in one click, leave with NZ and AU rules built in, an employee app, and payroll that files with IRD directly. Bookings you take today drop straight onto tomorrow's roster.
Explore the rest of RosterMates →There's no catch in the free plan and no clock running on it. If you never need the rest, keep the booking page forever. If you do, moving over is a job we help you with, not one you do alone.
The booking page is the free product, not a teaser. Pay only if you want rosters, timesheets and payroll too.
