Common needs
What beauty businesses need from their setup
Salons, barbershops, nail techs, spas, tattoo studios and med spas all book by the appointment, but each fills a day differently: color that needs processing time, walk-ins between bookings, long custom sessions, packages and consultations. Square Appointments handles online booking, reminders, deposits and staff calendars, and Payaroo helps you match the plan and hardware to your chairs and rooms.
Protection from no-shows
Cancellation policies, deposits and a card on file so an empty chair doesn't cost you the whole hour.
Checkout and tips at the chair
Take payment where the service happened, with tip prompts and retail add-ons in the same sale.
Clients who rebook
Client notes, visit history, messages and marketing that bring people back on schedule.

FAQs
Beauty: common questions
What is Square Appointments?
Square Appointments is Square's booking software, the Bookings mode of the Square Point of Sale app. It includes a free online booking site, automatic reminders, staff calendars, deposits and checkout in one place.
Can I charge for no-shows?
Yes, on a paid Square plan. You can set a cancellation policy clients see when they book, require a card to complete an online booking and charge a no-show or late-cancellation fee to that card.
Can clients book from Instagram or Google?
Square Appointments supports Book Now buttons on Instagram and Facebook and booking from Google. Square notes that booking through Google requires you to own or lease your premises, so booth and room renters can't use it.
