Managed online booking for hair salons
This is a managed custom software workflow, not a standalone booking platform subscription. FRAI builds or takes control of the software, then manages hosting, monitoring, support, maintenance and improvements. Clients choose day, time, service and stylist through an online booking page.
Custom software built, operated, and improved by FRAI. AI is included only where it improves a defined workflow.

02 — The system
What this online booking system does for your salon
Designed as a maintainable operating capability, not a disconnected feature.
01
Online calendar available 24/7
Clients book whenever they want from mobile or desktop. A real-time agenda for hair salons that displays only available time slots based on services, duration, and staff. Works as full appointment scheduling software for salons.
02
Multiple services and multiple professionals
Haircuts, color, highlights, blow-dry, treatments, barber services… We configure each service, its duration and the professionals who provide it. The schedule adapts to how your salon operates.
03
Direct online bookings with zero commissions
Appointments go straight to your salon — no middlemen and no booking fees. A simple alternative if you want more independence from Treatwell, Booksy, or Fresha.

Booking page created and managed by FRAI
We build a clean, professional online booking page that works standalone or embedded in your website. FRAI maintains, monitors, and manages everything. You simply receive confirmed appointments.

Automatic reminders & basic agenda management
