Manage salon appointments, stylist schedules, client preferences and payments in one place. Built for African salons, from independent chairs to growing teams.
A colour appointment takes a different amount of time from a trim. Set up your services with clear durations and prices, then connect each stylist to the services they offer. Keep online and reception bookings in the same calendar, and use client notes to prepare for returning visitors.
Where OnFika helps
How OnFika helps your salon
Fewer booking messages to answer
Clients choose a service, a stylist and a free time from your booking page — including in the evening, when the salon is closed. You start the day with confirmed appointments instead of a queue of messages asking “are you free on Saturday?”.
Set working hours, breaks and time off for each stylist, and link them to the services they perform. OnFika checks availability before an appointment is saved, so a colour appointment is not squeezed into a slot meant for a trim and two clients are not booked into the same time.
Braids, extensions and colour work can take hours. Ask for a fixed or percentage deposit on the services that need it, and send reminders before the visit so clients remember the time you have set aside.
Keep notes on preferred styles, products and previous visits in the client profile. Whoever is on shift can see what the client had last time and pick up the conversation from there.
Choosing a salon booking system in Tanzania or Kenya? Start with your daily workflow: staff availability, the currency you use, reminders and the payment methods your clients expect. Confirm provider support before moving your booking link, and review pricing as your team grows.
Can clients choose a specific stylist when booking online?
Yes. Clients see the professionals who offer the service they selected and pick an available time with that person.
Can we still take walk-ins and phone bookings?
Yes. Reception can add walk-ins and phone appointments to the same calendar as online bookings, and the same availability checks apply.
Does OnFika work for salons in Tanzania and Kenya?
Yes. Plans have one USD price for every country, payable by card or, where available, by mobile money in local currency. Online payment options depend on the provider available in your country, so confirm mobile-money and card support for your setup.
