Deposits only where they belong
The booking screen knows colour and extensions need money down and a wash-and-cut does not, and charges accordingly.
Open Copper & Comb (opens in a new tab)A hair salon website that books the chair and takes the deposit.
Clients pick a service and a free time, pay a deposit on colour and extensions, and get a reminder before they come in. It runs on your own site, so no booking app takes a cut of your new clients.
Booking package $1,1995–10 working days$0 commission, ever
Yours from day one. Your domain, your client list and your accounts are in your name. If we part ways, the site keeps running.
The demo
Copper & Comb. Try it like a customer would.
A working site, not a mock-up: pick a service and book. Nothing is really booked, but the pages and the emails are exactly what your customers would see.
Why it pays
Colour no-shows cost the most. Deposits fix that.
A two-hour colour slot that sits empty can't be resold at the last minute. A deposit on the long services and a reminder before every visit keep the chair full, without charging anyone for a quick trim.
2 missed colour appointments a week at $150 is $1,200 a month: $14,400 a year.
Example numbers. A deposit and a reminder are how a booking site brings that down.
Work out your own number: the 2-minute quiz- Deposits only where they belong
Colour and extensions need money down; a wash-and-cut doesn't. The booking screen knows the difference and charges accordingly.
- Clients book the stylist they want
Clients choose a stylist and see the times that person is free, and every stylist gets their own booking link to share.
Studio package
- Reminders that go out on their own
Email reminders before every visit, and text reminders once your texting number is set up.
- Rescheduling without the phone tag
Clients move or cancel their own appointment within your rules, and refunds follow automatically.
- A waitlist for the busy days
A fully booked day takes names on a waitlist instead of turning people away.
- Wedding hair, priced properly
Bridal bookings take a larger deposit up front, like the 30% on the Copper & Comb demo.

Build with Studio Compare all four packagesStraight answers
Questions people ask first
Can deposits apply only to some services?
Yes. You choose which services need a deposit and how much, for example colour and extensions only. The Copper & Comb demo works exactly this way.
Can clients choose their stylist?
Yes, when your salon has more than one stylist (the Studio package). Clients pick a stylist and see the times that person is free, and each stylist can share their own booking link.
What does it cost each month?
The build is a one-time price: $1,199 for the Booking package. Running costs, about $21–39 a month, are billed to you directly by the providers on your own accounts and never marked up. Card processing is the usual processor rate on each payment; bank-transfer payments cost nothing extra.
Who owns the website and the customer list?
You do. The domain, hosting, calendar and payment accounts are in your name from day one, and so is every customer record. If we part ways, everything stays with you, with no export fee and no lock-in.
How long does it take?
5–10 working days, counted from the day your deposit and your content (services or products, prices, hours and photos) are in.
