Save 12 Hours a Week: Time-Saving Tools Every Salon Needs
Nancy
What would you do with 12 extra hours a week? With the right tools, you could actually have them.
By automating a few everyday tasks, like bookings, reminders, and forms, salons are saving serious time every week.
Where the Time Goes (and How to Get It Back)
We looked at a typical salon with four staff. They saved 12 hours a week just by automating these things:
- ✅ Online Booking - No more back-and-forth messages
- ✅ Digital Consultation Forms – Easy for clients, clutter-free for you
- ✅ Rostering Linked to Bookings – Smoother scheduling
- ✅ SMS & Email Reminders – Fewer no-shows
- ✅ Automated Reports & Stock Orders – Less manual work
Time Saved (Based on 80 Clients a Week)
| Task | Time Saved | |
|---|---|---|
| Bookings | 4 hours | |
| Consultation Forms | 4 hours | |
| Reminders | 2 hours | |
| Staff Rosters | 1 hour | |
| Reports & Stock | 1 hour |
Note: These numbers match what other salon software providers have found, automation can save 10–15 hours weekly for salons with 3+ staff.
Why It Matters. Those 12 hours could mean:
- More client bookings
- More time for training
- Fewer no-shows
- Or just a well-earned break
