TimeTailor review
A free manual-booking core with separately priced tools for online booking and protection.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TimeTailor is salon management software for freelancers, beauty professionals, and salon owners who need appointment administration alongside client records, staff tools, reminders, and payments. Its free service plan includes unlimited manual bookings and staff, a service menu editor, reporting, email reminders, and client appointment history. Online client self-booking, calendar management, cancellation controls, and payment processing broaden the product beyond a basic appointment ledger. Web access and iOS and Android apps support use across salon operations.
The pricing structure is modular rather than a set of conventional subscription tiers. The Free service plan costs $0 per month. Advanced reporting adds revenue-generating expert and service analysis for $9 per bookable expert per month. Offline no-show protection is $12 per bookable team member per month and includes no-show flagging, booking deposits, automated SMS or WhatsApp reminders, late-cancellation fees, and full prepayment. A Professional website costs $15 per month, with integrated online booking, menu and business-detail synchronization, and custom domain connection. These are separate add-ons, so costs depend on which capabilities a salon selects; the cheapest listed paid option is the $9 reporting add-on.
The strongest fit is a cost-conscious salon that wants to start with manual appointment management and add selected capabilities as needed. TimeTailor also covers deposits, prepayments, card-on-file, online payments, and point-of-sale checkout for cards, mobile wallets, cash, and gift cards. Stripe, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are listed integrations. AI-assisted import can bring a service menu from images, PDFs, CSV, or Excel. Salons that require online self-booking without an added fee, or that want all advanced functions in one predictable subscription, should compare alternatives: the free plan centers on manual bookings, while website and no-show tools have their own monthly prices.
