Booking, done right
Booking software for barbershops & salons
Take appointments on your own website — not a marketplace that lists your competitors beside you or charges a cut of your bookings. Reminders, no-shows, walk-ins and a calendar per staff member, all built in and run for you. From $59/mo, no per-booking fee.
The short version
- Clients book on your own website, in your name — no app to download, no marketplace account.
- No commission on bookings, ever. One flat monthly bill, and a new client costs you nothing extra.
- Reminders, walk-ins, no-shows and a separate calendar for each barber or stylist — all built in.
- Your client list stays yours, exportable any time — even if you leave.
Most booking apps for barbershops and salons are marketplaces: your shop becomes one listing among your competitors, your client list lives in their database, and a new customer can cost you a cut of their first visit. Plvio works the other way. The booking runs on your own website, under your own name, and the people who book are yours to keep. It's the same everyday tools — reminders, walk-ins, no-shows, a calendar per chair — without renting your customers back from a platform. And you don't set any of it up: it's built and run for you.
What your booking does
Booking on your own site
Customers book on your web address, under your name — no marketplace app, no competitors listed one tap away. The booking is yours, start to finish.
No cut of your bookings
One flat monthly bill. You keep everything you charge, and a new client costs you nothing extra — no Boost fee, no 20–30% on a first visit.
Fewer no-shows
An automatic text-and-email reminder goes out the day before, once per appointment. A rescheduled booking is reminded about its new time.
A calendar per staff member
Several barbers or stylists, each with their own services and hours. Clients pick who they want, or 'no preference' and whoever's free is assigned — never double-booked.
Walk-ins & no-shows handled
Drop a walk-in or phone booking straight onto the calendar, and mark completed or no-show in a tap. Your day's numbers stay honest without extra admin.
Your client list stays yours
Every booker is yours to keep and export at any time — even the day you leave. You are never renting your own customer relationships back from a platform.
Built for your trade
Barbershops, hair and nail salons, lash and brow techs, tattoo studios, groomers and trainers all book a little differently — the calendar is shaped around how your shop actually runs its day.

Common questions
Is there a fee per booking?
No. Plvio is one flat monthly bill — you keep 100% of what you charge. There is no commission on a booking and no cut taken when a new client books, unlike the marketplace apps.
Do clients need to download an app or make an account to book?
No. Customers book straight from your own website in a few taps — no app to install, no marketplace account. They just pick a service, a time, and confirm.
Does it send appointment reminders?
Yes. Plvio sends an automatic reminder the day before by text and email, so fewer people forget. It sends once per appointment, and a rescheduled booking is reminded about its new time.
Can each barber or stylist have their own calendar?
Yes. A shop can have several staff, each with their own services and hours. A customer picks who they want — or taps 'no preference' and whoever is free is assigned automatically, so two people can't be double-booked.
Can I add walk-ins and mark no-shows?
Yes. You can add a walk-in or phone booking to the calendar yourself, and mark an appointment completed or a no-show from your dashboard — the numbers keep themselves straight.
Do I own my client list?
Yes. Every customer who books is yours — names, contacts and history — and exportable at any time, even if you ever leave Plvio. Your booking runs under your own name and web address, not a shared marketplace.
How much is booking software for a salon or barbershop?
Plvio plans start at $59/month and include the website, the booking system and Google listing help in one predictable bill — with no commission taken on your bookings.
