How it works
Booking that actually makes sense
A guided flow for clients. A powerful dashboard for you. Everyone stays informed.
01
Select Your Specialty
Clients pick their service type (nails, lashes, hair, or wax) so you can prepare the right products, timing, and service plan from the start.
02
Choose a Service
Browse your fully customizable service catalog. Clients pick their service, add-ons, and see exact pricing and duration upfront.
03
Pick a Time
The system shows only real, available slots based on your working hours, buffer times, and existing bookings.
04
Secure the Booking
Clients enter their info, add a payment method, and pay the deposit. No card on file? No confirmed booking. Your time stays protected.

Everything you need to run your business properly
Not a generic booking tool. A system designed around how beauty pros actually work.
Custom Service Catalog
Build your own service menu with custom names, durations, pricing, and per-service deposit amounts. No rigid defaults.
Policy Enforcement
Set cancellation windows, late arrival grace periods, and no-show penalties. The system enforces them automatically.
Smart Calendar
Working hours, buffer times, blocked slots, and automatic double-booking prevention — your availability stays accurate with zero manual management.
Stripe-Powered Deposits
Collect deposits per service. Charge no-show fees automatically. Handle refunds based on your cancellation rules.
Client Profiles
Every client builds a profile over time. Booking history, service notes, preferences, and details all in one place.
Automated Notifications
Booking confirmations, reminders, cancellation alerts, and payment receipts sent automatically to both parties.
SMS Reminders
Send text message confirmations and reminders straight to your clients' phones. Reduce no-shows with one simple integration.
Recurring Bookings
Schedule repeat appointments in one click. Weekly fills, biweekly touch-ups, monthly colour sessions. Your regulars will love it.
QR Code Booking
Get a branded QR code for your booking page. Print it on business cards, flyers, or display it in your salon for instant bookings.
Google Calendar Sync
Clients can add appointments directly to Google Calendar or download an .ics file. No more "what time was my appointment again?"
Website Embed Widget
Drop a "Book Now" button onto any website with one line of code. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and more.
Install on Your Phone
Add PinkBook to your home screen like a real app. Works offline, loads instantly, and looks right at home next to your other apps.

Built for the ones who built this industry
Designed around your workflow
The gaps in every other tool are not accidents. They were never designed with you in mind. Pinkbook was. Rigid deposit systems, weak policy enforcement, and clunky scheduling. All solved, by design.
Whether you're a solo artist or growing a multi-provider studio, you deserve a platform that commands the same respect you do.

The platform that finally gets it
Real beauty professionals. Real results.

★★★★★
"I spent years using tools that were never built for someone like me. Pinkbook is different. It looks like a real brand because it is one. My clients trust the process now."
★★★★★
"The deposit system alone changed everything. No more chasing people down, no more last-minute cancellations. The money is secured before I ever pick up a brush."
