Your no-shows have a price tag. See it.
Every booking that never shows is a chair, a stylist and an hour you already paid for. Move the sliders to your own numbers and watch what it adds up to in a year.
Your shop
LEFT ON THE TABLE EVERY YEAR
That is 374 empty slots and 281 hours of paid-for time nobody used, about 35 full workdays of an empty shop.
What that is worth against the plan
$5,984 a year kept, against $708 a year for NextUp Walk-in Pro (monthly billing, first location).
Pro pays for itself if it saves just 2 visits a month.
Start a 14-day trial, or pick Free at sign-up. Deposits, no-show fees and reminders are on Pro.
How to use this number
It is an estimate from your inputs. The example rate is not a measured figure, and the share you keep is your own guess: a deposit or a fee only helps when clients pay it, and a reminder only helps when they read it. People who cancel in time and rebook are not no-shows, so leave them out of the rate.
Two quick ways to find your real rate: count last month's empty slots, or look at what your booking app calls a no-show. Then see what people who join your line and leave cost, and how long your wait really is.
