Bookaster
Bookaster is appointment-scheduling and CRM software for local service businesses - hair and beauty salons, barbershops, dental and medical clinics, gyms, studios and restaurants.
Each business gets a branded booking page where clients self-schedule 24/7, a staff calendar with per-employee availability and multi-location support, and a client database with full visit history.
What sets it apart is WhatsApp: confirmations, reminders and post-visit review requests are sent automatically from the business's own WhatsApp number, which is what reduces no-shows. Clients can reply to confirm, reschedule or cancel, and the calendar updates itself.
It also covers invoicing and receipts, expense tracking, revenue reports, staff commissions, prepaid packages, walk-in queues and marketing campaigns.
Runs in any browser and installs as an app on phones and tablets. Available in 7 languages including Arabic (right-to-left). Free 90-day trial, no card required.

BarbrFlow
BarbrFlow is an AI receptionist and appointment-management service for appointment-based hair and beauty businesses, including hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, beauty salons, make-up artists and tattoo studios. It connects to a business's WhatsApp number and uses configured services, staff schedules, prices and policies to answer routine inquiries, check live availability, and book, reschedule or cancel appointments. The service supports reminders, optional deposits through a connected Mollie or Stripe account, group bookings, waitlists for newly available slots, and consent-based messages to returning clients. A web dashboard provides calendar, customer and team information, with occupancy, revenue and no-show views. Owners and staff can review conversations and take over when a request needs human attention. An Android app provides access to appointments, payment status and the waitlist.
