Booked. Deposit paid. Nobody wastes your Saturday.

Hopaby is a UK booking app for salons, barbers, nail techs and clinics. A deposit or a saved card confirms every appointment in your diary. Pay links by text, Tap to Pay on your iPhone, your own booking page. Nothing a month for up to three people, unless you want Pro.

We will email you once when Hopaby is ready to download, and use your address for nothing else. Privacy notice.

No monthly fee for up to three people. 3% when you get paid. No commission on your clients, ever.

  • The deposit confirms the slot

    Paid by a text link. The appointment confirms the moment it lands.

  • Your clients stay yours

    No marketplace. We never list you next to the salon down the road.

  • One fee you can work out

    No monthly fee for up to three people, then 3% when you get paid.

How it works

  1. Book

    A client books on your own booking page, or you add them to the diary yourself.

  2. Deposit link by text

    Hopaby texts them a pay link for the deposit, or to save a card, in one tap.

    How deposits work

  3. Confirmed when paid

    The appointment confirms the moment the deposit lands. No chasing.

A salon booking app built around the deposit

A client picks a time on your own booking page, and the slot is held while they pay. The appointment confirms the moment the deposit lands. If it isn't paid in time, the slot goes back into your diary for someone else. How deposits work.

You set the deposit per service, so a full head of colour can ask for one and a quick trim doesn't, and clients see your cancellation policy before they pay anything. Physios, osteopaths and counsellors can save a card at booking instead, charged only under the policy the client agreed.

At the chair or the client's door, take the payment with Tap to Pay on iPhone, with no reader to buy. Writing your policy? Copy our salon cancellation policy template.

Made for your trade, not "the beauty industry"

Your services, your prices, your rules on deposits and patch tests. A barber sees a barber's diary; a nail tech sees infills.
