How do I make long-hair colour take longer than short?

Set up a separate service for each length — for example «Colour, short hair» for 2 hours and «Colour, long hair» for 3 hours. Duration is set in minutes, and the calendar won't let anyone else book that time.

Can I take payment for balayage in advance?

Yes. Turn on online payment for the services you choose — the client pays the full price at booking, straight to your account. There's no partial prepayment. If a client cancels a paid booking, the money isn't refunded automatically: you get a notification and decide yourself.

A client wants colour and a cut in one visit. How do I book that?

Online, a client picks one service at a time, so set up a combo — for example «Colour + cut» — with the total time, processing time included. The whole visit then takes as long in the calendar as it really does.

Where do I keep a client's colour formula?

In the internal note on her card — up to 5,000 characters of text; you see it, and colleagues only if you turn that on. Photos can't be added to the card, so keep before/after shots on your phone or in the cloud.

How much does it cost?

The Free plan is free forever, with no limit on bookings. Pro with SMS reminders and the AI assistant costs $19/month billed yearly or $25 month-to-month, and every new account gets it free for 7 days — no card needed. The price doesn't depend on how many specialists you have.

The product

Here's what it looks like for a hairdresser

The booking page is what a client opens from your bio: services with length and duration. Your calendar is where the booking lands on its own. Here are both sides of one booking.

The booking page — what your client sees

The calendar — what you see

In short

Is Domovleno right for a hairdresser?

Yes, if clients book a time with you — in your own room, at home or on a rented chair. The client picks a service with its length and duration, gets reminders and reschedules herself. The Free plan covers booking with no limit; Pro adds SMS, separate logins for colleagues and emails to clients who haven't been back.

A good fit if

You work on your own — in your own room or from home — and take bookings from Instagram and by phone.
You rent a chair: your own bookings and your own client base, separate from colleagues in the salon.
You're a colourist with long colour jobs, where one no-show means half a day lost.
A small salon with two or three chairs, where every hairdresser has their own schedule and services.

Worth knowing first

Price and colour time depend on length? Set up a separate service for each length — for example «Colour, short hair» and «Colour, long hair». The same goes for different prices for a stylist and a senior stylist: one service can't have different prices or durations for different specialists.
Before/after photos can't be added to a client card — keep them on your phone or in the cloud. Write the colour formula as text in the client's internal note.
A client picks one service per booking. Set up «colour + cut» as a combo with the total time, processing included: a specialist has one booking per time slot, so nobody else can book during the processing time.
There's no partial prepayment and no no-show fee: online you can only take the full price of the service. Turn on online payment for long colour jobs, and decide refunds for cancelled bookings yourself — money isn't returned automatically.

Sound familiar?

Three headaches every hairdresser knows

Answering DMs with colour on your hands

Clients message you exactly when you're holding a brush. You reply between applying and rinsing, ask about length and free times again — and some messages get lost until the evening.

A no-show on long colour is half an empty day

Colouring long hair takes three to four hours. If the client doesn't come, nobody can take a gap that size at the last minute — the day simply falls out.

Colour time guessed by eye

How long to book depends on length and technique. In a paper diary the time is a rough guess, and one underestimated appointment pushes the whole evening back — the next client sits and waits.
