Colour timings break a simple calendar
A full head of colour is not one continuous block. Development time, a second service in the gap and a finishing blow-dry all need to sit correctly against the same stylist.
Voltalyze BOS
Software for hair salons that runs the whole floor.
Colour, cut and treatment work rarely fits a single time slot. Voltalyze BOS handles processing gaps, stylist columns, back bar product use and the rebooking that fills next month, in one system.
Where it fits
- An independent stylist or renter running their own book.
- A salon with a team, commission, retail stock and more than one calendar to keep full.
- One system for the diary, the money and the customer-facing site
Daily reality
What gets in the way on a normal day
These are the operating problems this kind of business runs into, before any software is involved.
Every stylist works differently
Speeds, service lists, prices and working patterns are not identical across the team, and the diary has to respect that instead of averaging it.
Retail and back bar disappear
Back bar tubes and the shelves sold at the desk are usually tracked in two different places, or nowhere.
Rebooking is left to memory
The client who does not rebook at the desk is the client who drifts to six-week, then ten-week, then gone.
How it works, part 1
Calendar built for colour
Set real durations per service and per stylist, with the structure a colour appointment actually needs.
- Service durations per stylist
- Processing gaps within an appointment
- Multiple services in one visit
- Team, day and stylist views
- Walk-in and same-day slots

How it works, part 2
Client history that survives staff changes
Formulas, notes, patch tests and previous visits sit on the client record, not in a stylist's private notebook.
- Full visit and spend history
- Notes and consultation records
- Consents and patch tests where supported
- Preferred stylist and preferences

How it works, part 3
Retail, back bar and commission
Sell at the desk, track what the team uses, and pay commission from the same records the sale was made in.
- Retail products and stock levels
- Products linked to the service
- Low-stock alerts and purchase orders
- Commission per stylist or service

Website and online store
Your own website, connected to the same records
Your salon gets customer-facing website pages on your own domain, which Voltalyze connects during setup: services, prices and durations, the team, opening hours, reviews and a booking flow that writes into the same calendar the floor works from.
- Your own domain, connected during setup
- A client portal
- Services, team and opening hours
- Booking written into the same calendar
- Reviews and customer portal
Your own domain
- Your pages run on your own domain. Voltalyze connects it during setup, so clients land on your address rather than a shared one.
Online store
- Sell shampoo, styling products and gift cards from the same site clients already book on, with stock coming off the same inventory the salon uses.

Ask what today looks like, which stylist has gaps this week or how retail sold last month, and carry out supported admin actions by text or voice instead of clicking through screens.

Hair salons: common questions
Can each stylist have different prices and durations?
Yes. Services can carry a different price and duration per stylist, so the diary books the time the work really takes.
Can we take deposits on colour appointments?
Yes. Deposits can be required at booking, and no-show handling is part of the same payment flow.
Do we keep our own website?
You can use the website pages included with Voltalyze BOS, or keep an existing site and link it to booking. Both are supported.
