Booking software for barbershops and salons
Talock gives your salon its own booking app. Clients book day and night, a cancelled slot goes straight to the waitlist, and later clients move up. The schedule cannot double book.

The schedule
Online bookings, walk-ins and waitlist clients all land in the same schedule, computed from real staff hours. Availability is checked against working hours on every path into the book, and the database itself refuses two appointments in one chair. Not a warning after the fact, a constraint.
Auto-fill
How Talock fills a cancelled appointment
Not every empty slot costs the same. A cancelled evening refills on its own; a cancelled one o'clock sits there all afternoon. Talock offers the awkward hour to clients already booked later that day, so the gap you are left holding is one that sells itself. Waitlist clients are asked first, and nobody is moved until they accept.
Wed 11:02
A cancellation, two hours out.
Marco drops the 13:00. Your book is full, you are mid-cut, and one o'clock is the hour nobody takes on short notice.
Wed 11:02
You press one button.
No calls, no group chat, no standing at the till. Talock works down the clients booked later that day who opted in.
Wed 11:03
19:30 says no.
Nico keeps his slot. Nobody is moved without agreeing to it, so a decline just sends the offer one step down the day.
Wed 11:06
18:30 says yes.
Fred takes the 13:00. His booking moves on its own, and the evening slot he leaves goes straight back on offer.
Wed 11:06
You traded up.
The hour you could not have sold is cut and beard. The 18:30 it cost you is the slot everyone wants on the way home, and you have all afternoon to sell it.
Wednesday
13:00 free
18:30 back on offer
Walk-ins
Two taps, and the seat is locked.
Someone walks in. Tap the service, tap confirm. Talock picks the earliest free chair and the earliest free professional, then locks the slot in the same database write that blocks everyone else. An online booking cannot take the same seat while you are typing.

Your salon, one tap from their lock screen
The booking experience is fully translated into Italian, English, German, French and Spanish, and picks the client's language on its own.
Everything else, included.
One plan, one product. No feature tiers, no per-booking commission.
A branded app for every salon
Each salon gets its own installable web app at its own link: the salon's name, logo and colors, added to the customer's home screen straight from the browser. No app store, nothing to download.
24/7 self-service reservations
Customers pick a service (or several back-to-back), a day, a time and a preferred professional. Availability is computed live from real staff schedules, so double bookings cannot happen.
Group bookings and waitlists
Friends can book together in one go, and when a day is full customers join a waitlist and get notified automatically if a spot frees up.
Confirmations, reminders and reviews
Booking confirmations and review requests go out by email automatically. Happy customers rating 4 or 5 stars are routed to the salon's Google review page.
AI booking assistant
A built-in assistant answers customers' questions, checks free time slots and passes messages to the salon owner.
Marketing that runs itself
Win-back, rebooking and post-visit flows re-engage clients automatically, plus one-off campaigns to a segment, all from the salon's own address with one-click unsubscribe.
Privacy and GDPR built in
Customers can export or erase their own data in a tap. Consent is explicit and granular, never bundled, so salons stay compliant across the EU.
Five languages out of the box
The whole booking experience works in Italian, English, German, French and Spanish, with automatic language detection.

Questions, answered.
What is Talock?
Talock is an online reservation platform for barbershops, hair salons and beauty salons. Every salon on Talock gets its own white-label booking app that customers open from a link or QR code and can install on their phone's home screen.
How do customers book an appointment?
They open the salon's Talock link, choose one or more services, pick a date, time and professional, and confirm with their name and phone number. No account or download is required to book; returning customers can sign in with a 6-digit email or SMS code to see and manage their bookings.
Do customers need to download an app from the App Store?
No. Talock is a progressive web app (PWA): it runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen with the salon's own icon and name, on both iPhone and Android.
Do my clients see Talock's brand?
No. The booking app carries the salon's own name, logo and colors, at the salon's own link. Clients book with the salon directly, and they are never shown a marketplace of competing salons.
What happens when a client cancels?
The freed slot is offered automatically. If a customer is on the waitlist for that day, they are notified first. Otherwise Talock can offer the earlier slot to clients booked later that day who opted in, and the first one to accept moves up, which closes the gap. Clients are only ever moved after they accept, and the feature is off unless a client opts in.
What does Talock do for salon owners?
Owners get a dashboard with their calendar, staff and service management, customer list with CSV export, automatic booking-confirmation and review-request emails, waitlist handling, promo codes and analytics. Salons keep their own branding throughout.
How much does Talock cost?
Talock is currently onboarding salons directly. If you run a salon or barbershop, get in touch and we will set you up and quote you for your shop.
