Keep the chair full
A missed appointment is a slot you could have filled. Soopaspace reminds every client before their cut, and you can ask for a card deposit to hold the chair, so the people who book are the people who show up.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

A reminder before every cut
Each client gets an email before their appointment with the time and a link to move it if they need to, inside the notice you set. A nudge the day before turns a half-forgotten booking into someone in your chair.
- An email reminder before every appointment
- A link to reschedule inside your notice window
- Fewer slots lost to a forgotten booking
- Clients move their own time, not your phone
A deposit for the ones who drift
For the clients who book and vanish, ask for a deposit by card when they book. It comes off the price of the cut, and a booking with money on it is a booking people keep. Walk-ins and regulars you trust can still pay in the chair as normal.
- A card deposit holds the chair
- It comes off the price of the cut
- Set it on the services you choose
- Trusted regulars can still pay in the chair

Common questions
- How does a deposit stop no-shows?
- A client who has paid toward their cut is far more likely to turn up. The deposit is taken by card when they book and comes off the price on the day, so it is money toward the cut, not an extra charge.
- Will every client have to pay a deposit?
- Only if you want. You decide which services ask for a deposit, so you can keep walk-ins and trusted regulars paying in the chair and ask for a deposit only where no-shows cost you most.
