WhatsApp Business for salons and barbers
WhatsApp Business for salons, barbers and beauty studios
Most salon clients already book by message. A proper business account keeps that organized and stops bookings disappearing when a stylist changes phones.

Quick answer
Salons and barbers use WhatsApp Business for bookings, reminders and showing work. Put services and prices in the catalog, use quick replies for availability, label clients by service, and post looks to your Status for clients who saved your number. Keep the account on the salon's number, not a stylist's personal phone, so bookings stay with the business.
Highlights

Salon-owned number

A booking routine
- Client asks for a time; reply with two or three open slots.
- Confirm with a quick reply that includes the address and policy.
- Label the chat Booked and send a reminder the day before.
Photos and consent
Ask before posting a client's photo to your Status or social media, even if their face isn't shown.
The number
Use a business number you'll keep. A Noir SMS number can verify a test or trial account of your own business, but the main account belongs on a long-term line, because WhatsApp asks for a new code when you change phones.
