An empty chair is the most expensive thing in the salon.
Hair, nails, lashes, barbering, massage and med-spa services are sold in blocks of time you can't get back. A late cancellation isn't a lost sale, it's a lost hour. OptiPay360 puts a deposit and a reminder behind every booking, keeps the card on file so checkout takes seconds, and makes rebooking something the client can do at midnight from the couch.
How the day actually runs
- 1Client books themselves
A booking page with real service durations, per-stylist availability, and buffer time — so a 90-minute balayage doesn't get booked into a 30-minute gap.
- 2Deposit holds the slot
Require a deposit on the services where a no-show hurts most. The deposit applies against the ticket at checkout.
- 3Reminder goes out
Automated appointment reminders reach the client before the visit, so the cancellation happens with notice instead of silence.
- 4Checkout and rebook
Ring the service and any retail products in one ticket, apply loyalty, charge the card on file, and book the next visit before they leave.
The parts of OptiPay360 you'll use most
Booking with stylist assignment
Per-service durations, per-staff availability, and a calendar both the salon and the client can see.
Deposits on booking
Collect a deposit when the slot is reserved and apply it automatically to the final ticket.
Appointment reminders
Automatic reminders before the visit, so schedule gaps show up early enough to refill.
Loyalty & rewards
Punch cards, points per dollar, and free-service redemptions applied right at checkout — not on a paper card in a purse.
Retail inventory
Track product stock, pricing, and photos, then add retail to the service ticket in one tap.
Client portal
Clients rebook, view past visits and receipts, and manage the card on file themselves.
What that adds up to
- Deposits and reminders attached to the booking, not managed on sticky notes.
- Checkout that takes seconds because the card is already on file.
- Loyalty that runs automatically instead of relying on a stamp card.
- Service and retail on one ticket, with inventory counts kept honest.
