A missed long treatment
A balayage or two-hour treatment that does not happen is half a day's revenue.
Salon challenge, solved smartly
Reduce no-shows with deposits
An appointment that costs nothing feels optional. A small deposit makes it real. With Lean Salon you ask for a deposit at booking, following rules you set yourself.

Why no-commitment booking costs you money
Long treatments and new clients carry the most risk.
New clients without commitment
Someone who does not know your salon yet is more likely to stay away.
Handling deposits by hand
Sending payment requests and checking whether they were paid takes time and feels awkward.
How Lean Salon helps
Deposits built into your booking flow
Connect your own Mollie account and choose when and how much is paid in advance.
Fixed amount or percentage
Choose a fixed amount or a percentage of the treatment price.
Only where needed
Ask everyone, only new clients or only above a minimum price.
Time held while paying
While the client pays, the time is held for them, 15 minutes by default.
Fair on cancellation
If a client cancels in time, the deposit is refunded via Mollie or as credit on a gift card.
