Custom booking website + Square/Stripe payments + Google Calendar sync + automated SMS reminders. Looks like YOUR brand, not Fresha's. Live in 5-7 days. From $199/mo.
Generic booking platforms (Fresha, Vagaro, Squire, Booksy) take 20-30% of every transaction OR charge $30-99/month per stylist OR both. Worse: customers book on their branded URL, see their ads, and you spend years building someone else's marketing list instead of yours.
B Scanned builds branded booking sites that look like YOUR salon — because they ARE your salon. Your domain, your colors, your brand. We use Square or Stripe under the hood for payments (cheap, reliable), but the customer-facing experience is fully you.
Trade: a flat $199/mo vs Fresha's 1-2% transaction fees + per-stylist subscriptions. Most Calgary salons save $100-500/month and look 10× more premium.
Queen Nails (Calgary nail technician) runs the full stack: branded booking at queennailsss4.netlify.app, press-on shop, Square checkout, Google Calendar sync. Customers self-serve every appointment. Owner spends her time on the chair, not the phone.

Square is generic. We build YOUR branded website that includes booking. Square handles payments under the hood, but the wrapper is yours.
Yes — that's the whole point. Visit your site, pick service, pick time, pay deposit, get confirmation text. Zero phone tag.
We wire in 24-hr + 2-hr SMS reminders. Most salons cut no-shows 40-60%. Optional deposit-required setup adds another layer.
5-7 days for solo stylist. 1-2 weeks for multi-chair with staff scheduling.
Or try B Scheduler for $29-149/mo if you want turnkey instead of custom.
