Open Table-Style Booking Comes To Salons

Online platform StyleSeat brings an OpenTable-like service to the salon world by matching availale stylists to people looking for appointments. Salon booking is updated to provide a new marketing channel for hair and beauty professionals and a more convenient search method for consumers.

Those visiting the free site can access relevant information about different salons and search for stylists by location, cost, specialty or promotions. They can browse the services and prices, and view calendars to choose an available appointment time and easily book online. After their visit, they can leave feedback about how their appointment went, which stylists can choose to share publicly.

Salon owners and professionals on StyleSeat can create a profile with details about their location, stylists bios, pictures, hair styles, recommendations and more. They can view charts showing their appointment schedule and see which days they are booked most and least often. The site also provides some small business guides to help professionals take advantage of online marketing platforms such as Facebook.

StyleSeat is currently looking into an online payment option and premium marketing packages as revenue opportunities, and is also creating apps for iPhone and Android devices.
