For salons, spas, and barbershops on WordPress: clients book a stylist and pay at checkout, with no double-booking and no monthly fee.

Everything a salon appointment needs, inside your store

ARB turns a WooCommerce product into a bookable, payable appointment, so you take bookings without bolting on a second system.

• Paid at your own checkout: every WooCommerce gateway, coupon, and tax rule already applies to each appointment.
• No double-booking: Max Reservations per Slot caps each slot at one client, with a cleanup buffer after.
• Per-stylist and per-service pricing through Resources and Person Types, priced independently.
• One-time price: $55 on CodeCanyon, no renewal, plus a full salon-site walkthrough.

The features salons actually book with

Stylists, chairs, and rooms as resources

Each stylist, chair, or treatment room becomes a bookable resource with its own schedule and its own rate.

• Give each stylist separate working days.
• Price every chair or room independently.
• Add unlimited stylists, chairs, and rooms.

Per-service pricing and weekend surcharges

Price each cut, colour, or add-on through Person Types, then layer date-range pricing for busy weekends.

• Set a separate price per service.
• Add a scalp-massage or add-on service.
• Charge extra for Saturday and Sunday slots.

Cleanup buffers and one-at-a-time slots

Set a vacant period between clients and cap each slot at one, on the availability rules tab.

• Add a cleanup buffer between appointments.
• Set lead time so clients cannot book last minute.
• Sync bookings to Google Calendar via the $19 add-on.

Checkout, confirmations, and reminders

Every appointment checks out as a WooCommerce order, then triggers automatic confirmation and reminder emails.

• Take payment through Stripe, PayPal, or Square.
• Send automatic booking and confirmation emails.
• Push manual or bulk reminders to upcoming clients.

Set up salon booking in four steps

Setting up WooCommerce appointment booking for your salon takes four moves.

1. Create a Reservable Product for each service.
2. Add stylists and rooms as resources with schedules.
3. Price each service and set your cleanup buffer.
4. Client books, pays at checkout, and gets a confirmation.

ARB inside WooCommerce vs a standalone salon plugin

Here is the honest contrast for a salon already running a WooCommerce store.

Is ARB right for your salon?

ARB models each stylist and room as a resource, not a staff account, so here is the honest test.

Great fit if:

• You want one-time, WooCommerce-native salon booking with no renewal.
• You want payment, coupons, and tax on your own checkout.
• You price each stylist, service, and room independently.

Look elsewhere if:

• You need built-in staff logins, individual staff dashboards, or commission and payroll tracking.
• You need deposits, partial payments, or no-show charges at booking.
• You need native two-way calendar sync, or SMS reminders without the $15 add-on.

Own your salon booking once, book chairs forever

Get ARB for a one-time $55 and keep every stylist, service, and payment inside your WooCommerce store. Try the live demo to book a spa treatment end to end before you build a real product.

FAQs

Can I give each stylist their own schedule and prices?

Yes. Each stylist is a Resource in ARB, with its own availability schedule and its own price, independent of every other stylist.

Does ARB stop two clients from booking the same stylist at once?

Yes. Setting Max Reservations per Slot to 1 enforces one-at-a-time booking per stylist, so no two clients can claim the same slot.

Can I add cleanup time between appointments?

Yes. A Vacant Period sets a required buffer, for example 15 minutes, between one reservation and the next, and shifts the next available slot automatically.

Can ARB take a deposit for a salon booking?

No. ARB does not support native deposits or partial payments. Request-for-Quote mode and confirmation-first checkout are the closest built-in alternatives.

Does ARB work with Stripe and PayPal?

Yes. ARB works with every WooCommerce payment gateway, including Stripe, PayPal, Square, Amazon Pay, PayFast, and eWay.

Can I charge more for weekend appointments?

Yes. Date-range pricing on the Costs tab adds a surcharge or discount for a date range. An extra $20 on Saturday and Sunday bookings is one example.

Does ARB send appointment reminders or SMS?

Email reminders are core, sent automatically and available for manual or bulk sending. SMS reminders require a separate paid add-on; they are not included in the base plugin.

Do I need WooCommerce to use ARB?

Yes. ARB is a WooCommerce extension plugin, not a standalone system, and requires an active WooCommerce installation to run.

Is there a free version of ARB?

No. ARB has no free tier and sells only as a one-time paid license on CodeCanyon. The live demo lets a salon test the booking flow before buying.
