What busy salons run into
No-show rates in salons without automated reminders average around 20 percent. With automated SMS and email reminders, most salons bring that below 5 percent within the first month. On a busy week with 30 appointments, that's worth several hundred pounds.
40% of salon bookings now happen outside opening hours. If your only channel is the phone or Instagram DMs, you lose almost half. With Avana, clients book directly on your own page in under a minute — even at 11pm on a Sunday.
At a £45 average ticket and 25 appointments a day, a 20% no-show rate is up to £225 lost per day. Automatic SMS and email reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before each appointment drop that under 4% — typically £700-1,000 in recovered revenue per month.
Fresha charges per team member plus 2.29% on every transaction. Vagaro charges £30/mo base plus per-staff. Treatwell takes commission on new clients. Avana's Pro plan covers up to 3 stylists at £39/mo, with each extra stylist at +£4.95/month — no marketplace commission, no card-processing surcharge.
“I switched from Fresha three months ago and the bill dropped from £95 to £39. Same number of stylists, same volume. The 'free' Fresha was costing me real money.”
