About Timely

Timely. The booking software that keeps clients coming back.

Run your salon like a pro with easy-to-use booking software that puts you in control of the whole client experience.

It all begins with our gorgeous, customisable calendar. The calendar allows you to manage your hair or beauty business from anywhere and lets your clients book their own appointments online, anytime. But that’s just the start. From there, you can tap into all sorts of tools designed to help you deliver an exceptional client experience, grow your income and manage your business beautifully.

It’s your name above the salon door, and your reputation on the line – we get that. That’s why we made every feature of Timely highly customisable. So everything from your online bookings to your client communications, your payments and deposits to your loyalty programme, can be set up just the way you want, to reflect your unique brand and business needs.

No matter if you’re just starting out on your own or if you’ve managed a salon for years, you’ll find Timely gives you a clear picture of your business performance and helps you make confident decisions. Our reporting, marketing and staff management tools can help you learn what’s working, what’s not, and where you can make more money. You call the shots based on what you want to achieve – and we’ll help you continuously improve with real time insights and education.

And because more technology shouldn’t mean more hassle, we’ve made Timely super simple to use. You’ll discover clever features that automate your admin - saving you hours and allowing you to feel more relaxed and present with your clients, team and family.

To top it all off, you’re never on your own with Timely. We’re famous for our fast and friendly customer support that’s only an email or phone call away and we’ve got loads of helpful videos, guides and FAQs online too.

Join over 55,000 hair and beauty professionals using Timely worldwide. Simply select from one of three plans and pay one, simple monthly subscription fee, with no hidden costs and no fixed contracts.


Key benefits of Timely

Say goodbye to technology headaches and let Timely take care of your admin.
More technology shouldn’t mean more hassle. Timely is super-easy to set up and simple to use, with no hidden costs. Automate your admin and enjoy peace of mind knowing your business is ticking away, even when you aren’t in the salon. Our software is designed to tackle all the annoying things on your to do list. No more late nights playing appointment tag with clients over Insta, no more last-minute panics when you’ve forgotten to order stock, no more time wasted on manually sending out consultation forms. Feel less overwhelmed and be more present with your clients, team and family.

Customise Timely to make it work the way you do.
It’s your name above the salon door, and your reputation on the line – we get that. That’s why Timely is designed to give you full control over how you run your business. Customise your client communications to suit your unique brand, set a cancellation policy you feel comfortable with, block repeat no-show offenders from booking with you, set up a daily payout schedule so you can always get cash when you need it and lock down access to sensitive client information. You control the vision, and we’ll make it happen.

Build your reputation and keep clients coming back.
There’s no better feeling than delighting your clients. At Timely, we’re just as obsessed with the client experience as you are. We’ve got all the tools you need to make your client’s day – from detailed client notes and before/after photos to a slick digital consultation service. We’ll remember Sandra’s coffee order for you, we know Noah’s pronouns, and we’ll remind you to wear a mask because Maia’s immunocompromised. Want to be booked out months in advance? We’ll help you build long-lasting relationships. Reward loyal clients with VIP offers, and give them a gentle nudge to come back with SMS marketing.

Understand what’s working and make confident business decisions.
Timely gives you a clear picture of your business performance and helps you make confident decisions.

Organize your diary with ease!

Reviewed on 27/11/2018

Pros

Very easy to use and train new users on. Intuitive dashboard and very clear user interface.
Timely has been optimized very well for mobile use, enabling us and our users to use this out-and-about.
The customization options of the widget and mini-site are great, and work well with lots of our systems.
The ability to send communications via SMS is very helpful, though not clear when initially purchased.

Cons

The lack of language support really isn't great, especially at an organization with lots of international users (non-English speaking).
It wasn't particularly clear when we first purchased Timely that the ability to send SMS's wasn't part of the original plan, and had to purchase separately.

Timely is definitely beautiful and effortless. It is one of the better salon software programs I have come across in my 15 years in this industry however, if you live in Canada/United States this is not the software for you. It does not separate taxes on reports so you can never distinguish between your GST and your PST. Also, it does not offer the tip option and as tips are a massive part of the service industry in Canada and the United States this is one of their biggest downfalls. Its overall program is easy to use and very nice looking however it isn't a program that should be offered worldwide. I used the free trial for a few days just to test it out and see, I did have a few questions that I wanted answered and it took their customer service team an entire two days to reply (I sent in my query during the week so there is no excuse for this). I do hope that they add to their program because I believe they have a good thing going they just need a little more work.

Response from Timely

Hi Carmen, thanks for your feedback - it's great to hear you found Timely to be one of the best.
We're sorry it didn't quite fit your needs. We are constantly adding new features and there's lots more to come.
Apologies also for a slow reply, it looks like it took 30 hours for us to respond to your request. This is certainly slower than normal, and replying within 10 hours is something we work hard to achieve. We understand how important it is to hear back quickly when you're working through things, so we place huge value on fast, helpful customer service (it's one of the main reasons our customers love Timely!). Your feedback reassures us of the importance of that focus, so thank you.
Adding a tip to a service is a feature we will likely add in future, you can vote for it here: http://bit.ly/1SEcirR
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback, really appreciate your time :-)

Make appointments in a timely fashion!

Reviewed on 16/12/2018

Pros

Timely is extremely easy and intuitive to use. It allows appointments to be quickly scheduled with the user friendly interface. Timely also allows users to manage packages and inventory. Overall, Timely is a great all in one program to use for any business.

Cons

Timely can make it a little bit difficult to manage a huge list of clients.

It has been a game changer for our business in terms of managing my client servicing calendar. We're also the only accountant in our region with online booking capability - so it's also helped us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.

Pros

My clients love that they can book online the type of service they need from our Professional Services practice and that they get a text message reminder. I love how it has streamlined our business and helped us manage appointments - with automated buffer time for just in case a meeting runs over time.

Cons

Having too many options for online appointments is confusing for clients. I'd love it if we were able to have different booking 'landing pages' for different service groups.
