Australian lineSalon booking app
The salon booking app your front desk will actually like.
Clients book online any time of day, the calendar fills itself and reminders go out on their own — then the same app checks them in, takes payment on your terminal and books the next visit.
What a salon booking app should do for you
Most clients would rather book a salon online than ring during business hours. A salon booking app gives them a page to do it — pick a service, a staff member and a time — and puts the booking straight into your calendar, with a confirmation and a reminder sent automatically.
That is only half the job. Bookings have to fit around the way a salon really runs: services of different lengths, staff who only do some treatments, clean-up time, breaks, walk-ins and the client who always runs late. Ukilu was built in Australia for nail salons, head spas and beauty salons, so the booking page only offers times that are really free and the team sees the whole day on the iPad at the desk.
And when the client arrives, you don't switch apps. Check-in, checkout on your EFTPOS terminal, loyalty points and the next booking all happen in the same place — which is why Ukilu is a salon booking app and a salon POS in one.
Checklist
Before you choose a salon booking app
Six questions worth asking any booking app — and how Ukilu answers them.
- Does it charge a fee per booking or per new client?
- Ukilu doesn't. You pay one monthly plan per shop — no booking fees and no commission on new clients.
- Does the price go up with every staff member?
- No. Plans are priced per shop, so adding a technician doesn't change your bill.
- Can clients book without downloading an app?
- Yes. Your booking page opens in any browser, from Instagram, Google, Facebook or your website.
- Will it cut no-shows?
- SMS and email reminders go out automatically, and you can take a deposit when clients book online.
- Does it handle walk-ins?
- Yes. Clients check in on the iPad or with a QR code and wait in the waiting list.
- Can it take payment, or do I need a separate POS?
- Checkout is built in, and the total goes straight to KPay or your bank terminal through Linkly.

The best one is the one that fits how your salon works. Look for no per-booking fees, a price that doesn't grow with your team, reminders and deposits to cut no-shows, walk-in check-in and a booking app that also takes payment. Ukilu was built in Australia to do all of that in one app.
