Now is the opportunity to immerse yourself in Salonized information and make yourself an expert for your salon.

Don’t have a website?

It is not a requirement to have a website in order to be able to make online bookings. You have several possibilities to have your customers book an appointment online. Within Salonized you can generate a link that leads directly to your agenda. This link can be placed on different channels. For example, you can send it via WhatsApp, via e-mail, but it is also possible to place the link on Facebook or Instagram. 

Salonized’s Interface

All Salonized’s ideas are based on a wide range of creativity which leads to innovative achievements. With their unique look and feel, the platform’s design consists of bright bold colours ranging from blues, to purples and pinks. Their illustrations enhance their branding, adding a personal touch and going against the stereotypical calendar look and feel. Their illustrative identity is abstract as well as playful using realistic characters.

What makes their tech tick?

Salonized is currently running as a monolith on a Kubernetes cluster. One of the things they plan to do in the upcoming year is to migrate into a more manageable, distributed system and remove single points of failure so they can be more reliable for customers and reduce the cognitive load for their developers.

Don’t have a website and worried it’s a huge undertaking?

Salonized offers you a super simple solution. Within their system you can create a mini website for your salon. On the mini website you can add a small description of your salon, a photo of the salon and you can set up the appointment widget and the gift voucher widget. The opening hours and contact information are displayed by default. With the convenience of the mini website you can be found online for your clients for all information, but you don’t have all the hassle of maintaining an entire website. 

Integration with third-party calendars and services

Google Calendar has some of the best integration with third-party calendars. You can also request access to the calendars of your colleagues using their email ID. Apple doesn’t offer this functionality in its app. 

With Salonized, however, you can integrate Google Reserve, allowing customers to book an appointment with you via Google. This way you will be able to add even more online appointments to your agenda. The customer will be able to book via Search, Maps or Google assistant. Once the customer has booked an appointment it will immediately appear in both their own Google Calendar and your Salonized calendar.

Salonized x Treatwell

Intergrating with Treatwell, Europe’s largest online booking platform for hair and beauty, offers consumers choice and convenience by giving them 24/7 insight into the agenda of more than 3500 beauty salons in the Benelux. This makes it easier for hairdressers and beauty salons to manage appointments online with the integration. The integration ensures that the appointments in both calendars are synchronized. This means that when you place an appointment in Salonized, that time slot is blocked in Treatwell, and vice versa.
