Booking software for hair salons & barbers in Sydney
Sydney's hair trade lives at two extremes. In the CBD and the eastern suburbs, rent per square metre is brutal, so every empty chair is money walking out the door — your booking calendar isn't an admin tool, it's the thing that keeps the lights on. Out in the inner west — Newtown, Marrickville, Enmore, Leichhardt — there's a dense scene of independent salons and one- and two-chair barbershops where the owner is also the colourist, the receptionist and the person sweeping up at close.
Either way, the booking software you pick has to earn its keep. BookAndGo is a flat $59 a month with no per-chair fee and no commission skimmed off your bookings, so a busy Surry Hills salon running six stylists pays exactly the same as a solo barber in Petersham. You're not handing back a slice of every cut to a platform that also lists your competitors next door.
Clients get a clean booking page on your own URL, pick their stylist, and you get the appointment straight on your calendar — with an AU-based SMS reminder going out before they're due, so the 11am that quietly forgets is far less likely to no-show on you.

Built for Sydney hair salons
Rent-a-chair is everywhere in Sydney, from Paddington colour studios to Bondi barbers, and that's exactly where flat pricing matters. With BookAndGo you can run up to 20 providers under one subscription — each stylist gets their own services, hours and booking link — without the per-chair tax that turns a growing team into a growing bill. A chair renter and the salon owner can both be bookable on the same page, each managing their own diary.
Sydney clients book on their phones, late at night, between meetings — and they expect to rebook their regular six-weekly colour or fortnightly fade without ringing during trading hours. Recurring appointments and gift vouchers are built in, your data stays on Australian servers, and every paid invoice comes out as a proper GST tax invoice. For longer colour and balayage appointments where a no-show costs you half a day, you can take a deposit at the time of booking.
Frequently asked
Do you charge per chair or per stylist?
No. It's a flat $59 a month for the whole salon. Whether you're a solo barber in Newtown or running six stylists in the CBD, the price is the same — and you can add up to 20 providers, each with their own booking link and diary, at no extra cost.
I rent chairs to independent stylists — can they each take their own bookings?
Yes. Each stylist can be set up as their own provider with their own services, working hours and booking page, all under the one subscription. Rent-a-chair operators and the salon owner can sit side by side on the same booking page without any per-chair fee.
Can I take a deposit to cut down no-shows on long colour appointments?
Yes. You can require a deposit at the time of booking, which is ideal for balayage, full colour or any long appointment where a no-show costs you hours of chair time. No-show protection and AU-based SMS reminders both help keep your calendar honest.
Will I get proper GST tax invoices for my Sydney salon?
Yes. Payments produce a compliant Australian GST tax invoice with your ABN and sequential numbering, and a receipt is sent automatically when an invoice is marked paid. Your client and booking data is stored on Australian servers.
How is this different from Fresha?
BookAndGo charges a flat $59 a month and takes no commission on your bookings — the appointment is yours, not a lead the platform resells. There's a free trial, an iPhone and Android app for managing your day, and you won't see your salon listed in a marketplace next to your competitors.
