The all-in-one booking platform for hair salons
Salon booking software that runs your floor without the chaos
Online bookings stylist by stylist, service durations with buffer time, and customer notes that follow every client.
No charge for 7 days. Cancel any time.
Velixa is the salon booking software trusted by busy salons to take bookings 24/7, manage every chair, and keep customer notes and visit history in one place. Stylists get their own diary, clients get a beautiful online booking page, and you get a complete picture of the day.
Online booking
Let clients book themselves, day or night
Stop running your salon from a phone-line. Velixa puts every diary online so clients pick the slot, the staff member and the colour or cut they want — without a call back.
- Real-time availability on every device
- Per-staff bookable diaries with breaks and time off
- Hosted booking page plus an embeddable widget
Payments
Card secured before they walk in
Every booking saves a card on file via Stripe — no charge at reservation. After a half-day colour, charge the stored card with one tap. Money lands in a Stripe account in your name, never ours. If a client cancels late or doesn't show, apply a fee to their saved card under your cancellation policy.
- Card saved on file — no charge until after the appointment
- Late-cancel and no-show fees charged to the stored card
- Payouts to a Stripe account in your name
Repeat revenue
Sell more than just appointments
Most salons leave money on the table by only selling time. Velixa adds packages, memberships, gift cards and loyalty stamps — all on the same booking page, all in the same dashboard.
- Pre-paid service packages
- Recurring memberships via Stripe
- Branded gift cards and loyalty stamps

Everything you need for hair salons
One platform, no add-ons — every feature you actually use.
Service durations and buffer time
Set the exact duration of every service, plus before/after buffer so the chair is ready for the next client.
Customer notes and visit history
Every visit, service and note is on the customer card the next time they sit down.
Card-secured bookings
Every booking saves a card on file via Stripe — no charge at reservation. Charge the stored card after the appointment with one tap.
Hosted booking website with photo gallery
Every salon gets a public website at velixa.co.uk/site/your-name with a service menu and photo gallery built in.
Email reminders + optional SMS
Automatic email reminders before every appointment. Add SMS reminders as a pay-as-you-go top-up whenever you want text nudges too.
Frequently asked questions
Real answers about how Velixa works for hair salons.
Can clients book a specific stylist?
Yes — every stylist has their own diary, and clients pick from a stylist list with live availability before they book.
Can I add buffer time around colour services?
Yes. Each service has its own duration plus before/after buffer minutes, so the chair is freed up at the right time.
How does the card-on-file payment work?
Every booking saves a card on file via Stripe — no money is taken at reservation. After the appointment you charge the stored card with one tap from your dashboard. If a client cancels late or doesn't show, you can apply a fee to their saved card under your cancellation window.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every Velixa account starts with a 7-day free trial of every feature. We collect your card at signup so the trial rolls automatically into your subscription, but no payment is taken for 7 days and you can cancel any time before then.
Do you charge per booking?
No. Velixa is a flat monthly subscription — take as many bookings as your diary will hold without paying any per-booking commission.
Will my clients get reminders?
Yes — every account sends an automatic email reminder roughly 24 hours before each appointment, included at no extra cost. SMS reminders are an optional pay-as-you-go add-on: top up credits in your dashboard whenever you want text-message nudges as well.
