Square Appointments

Square Appointments is the booking product from Square, the payments company owned by Block. It gives salons, barbers and independent pros an online booking page, a calendar for one or more staff members, automatic reminders and client profiles.

Because it sits on Square's payment system, checkout, tips, card-on-file charges for no-shows and retail sales all run through the same account. Many providers already use Square hardware for payments, which makes it an easy step for them. It connects with other Square tools for payroll, marketing and inventory.

It suits solo stylists and small shops that want simple booking and payments from one company. Larger salons may want deeper features such as color formulas or commission tiers. Check which features come with your plan and how per-location pricing works if you grow.
