Booking a few days in advance is much safer as it gives the salon time to sort things out. Same-day booking is more of a gamble due to potential overbooking and last-minute changes.
Mornings or early afternoons (like 2 PM) on weekdays are best. Avoid booking during peak rush hours when salons are busiest and less likely to check booking requests promptly.
Yes, but only for the exact service listed in the offer. The specific service is free, but if you add any additional services or upgrades, you'll need to pay for those add-ons.
The Parlourtime app applies the discount automatically when you book the right service with a new salon for the first time. This saves you the hassle of remembering and entering a promo code.
It's very unlikely. The offer is typically for basic introductory services like haircuts, basic facials, or manicures. Salons use this to get customers to try them out at a low cost, not for expensive premium treatments.
If the salon refuses the offer, something has gone wrong as they agreed to it with Parlourtime. You should show your booking confirmation and contact Parlourtime support through the app or via their contact page for assistance.
No, it's typically for your first time booking with a specific salon through the app. You can use the offer at multiple different salons, but only once per salon.
It's not about which name has more slots, but which one has built a proper live connection to the salon's booking system. The app with a live connection will show what's truly free, while others are just guessing and you pay for that guess.
On a weekday morning, maybe, but on busy times like Saturdays, you'll be on hold forever with risk of human error. A good app booking creates a ticket in the salon's system instantly with no human error, which is usually faster if the app works properly.
You're in limbo - the app says 'booked' but the salon hasn't agreed. You're stuck waiting for them to check their messages, which could take hours, leaving you unable to plan your day.
Book a basic trim on both apps during a busy time like Saturday morning. Don't just time the tap - time how long it takes to get that 'CONFIRMED' SMS that actually lets you breathe.
