Hair & barber · Gold Coast QLD
Booking software for hair salons & barbers on the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast runs on appearance, and its hair trade reflects it. From the polished salons around Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise and Burleigh to the barbershops dotting Southport, Robina and the hinterland towns, presentation matters and competition is heavy. With a strong stream of tourists, events and a lifestyle-focused local population, a salon that's easy to find and book online captures business a phone-only operation misses.
BookAndGo gives you a booking page on your own URL with your branding and your team - not a profile buried in a marketplace alongside every salon on the strip. It's a flat $59 a month with no per-chair fee and no commission taken from your bookings, so a multi-stylist salon in Broadbeach and a single-chair barber in Mudgeeraba pay the same flat rate.
Clients book the stylist they want, choose their service, and the appointment lands on your calendar with an AU-based SMS reminder queued. With so many shift and hospitality workers - and tourists booking on the fly - a self-service page that takes bookings around the clock catches appointments a daytime-only phone line would lose.

Built for Gold Coast hair salons
Gold Coast salons see real demand swings - holiday peaks, events, schoolies and the winter visitor influx - alongside a client base heavy with shift and hospitality workers booking at odd hours. A booking page that's open 24/7 absorbs that uneven, around-the-clock demand far better than a phone, and flat pricing means a busy peak season doesn't cost you more per booking the way a commission model would.
Rent-a-chair is common across the Coast's barbershops and salons, and BookAndGo runs up to 20 providers on one subscription with no per-chair fee - each renter with their own diary and booking link, the owner overseeing the floor. Recurring appointments suit the local regulars, gift vouchers are an easy upsell for the gifting-heavy holiday market, your data stays on Australian servers, paid bookings produce proper GST tax invoices, and deposits protect the longer colour appointments against last-minute cancellations.
Frequently asked
Lots of my clients work shifts or book on the fly - does that work?
Yes. The booking page is open 24/7 and shows only your real available slots, so shift workers, hospitality staff and even visiting tourists can book whenever suits them without phoning during trading hours.
Do you charge per chair or take commission?
No. It's a flat $59 a month with no per-chair fee and no commission on your bookings, so a busy peak season doesn't cost you more per booking. You can add up to 20 providers, each with their own booking link, at no extra cost.
Can rent-a-chair stylists take their own bookings?
Yes. Each stylist or chair renter can be their own provider with their own services and hours, all under one subscription and bookable from the same salon-branded page - no per-chair charge.
Can I take deposits to reduce no-shows?
Yes. Require a deposit at booking for long colour appointments, backed by automatic AU-based SMS reminders - useful when a visitor or late-night booker might otherwise drop out.
