Yatoon Appointment Booking for Salons & Spas

توضیحات

Built by a salon owner who got tired of generic booking plugins.

After trying plugin after plugin designed for dentists or yoga studios, we gave up and built our own. Yatoon is the booking system we wish existed when we opened our salon – and now we’re sharing it with every beauty business owner who’s been through the same frustration.

No complicated setup. No $50/month SaaS fees. No features you’ll never use. Just a beautiful, fast booking experience your clients will love.

What makes Yatoon different

Most booking plugins were built for generic businesses. Yatoon was built for beauty. That means:

• Clients can book multiple services in one visit – nails + pedicure + eyebrows, all in one checkout
• Group appointments – your client books for herself and her friend, with separate services and staff for each person, in one go
• A restaurant-style service menu with photos, pricing, and a Book button right on the page – not a separate popup or redirect
• Staff profiles with real star ratings from verified clients – clients pick who they trust
• A photo gallery that auto-scrolls your nail art – because your work sells itself
• Tip / gratuity at checkout – preset percentages or custom amount, right in the booking flow

This is the stuff that actually matters in a salon. Everything else is just noise.

Booking experience your clients will love

• Mobile-first – the entire booking flow is designed for phones first. Your clients book from the nail salon parking lot or their couch.
• Multi-step flow with animated progress bar – clients always know where they are and what’s next
• Real-time availability – live calendar that loads actual open slots from your schedule
• “Any staff” option – clients who don’t have a preference get the first available technician automatically
• Waitlist capture – when a time is fully booked, clients can join a list so you can follow up manually
• “Text Us” button – if nothing is available, clients can reach you directly with one tap
• Add to Calendar – Google, Apple, and Outlook with one click after booking
• Self-service portal – clients reschedule or cancel on their own, without calling you
