A Better Way to Book
Having built her salon from the ground up 12 years ago, Dionne needed a release from endless manual scheduling—particularly after expanding her business in 2021 to become Hull’s only super salon.
She began researching solutions to streamline her booking process and free up time for
her clients, her brand, and herself. Dionne shared, “I was working full days with clients, then after work, I was spending hours tackling hundreds of messages, booking clients in manually, and waiting for replies.”
Simply Stepping Into Easier Scheduling
Dionne noted, “Setmore has really made our booking system so much more simplified. It’s massively helped my mental health and made my business more successful!”. Her booking page acts as a standalone website where clients can easily browse services, team members, and availability to schedule appointments 24/7. The ‘Book Now’ button on her website and Instagram directs clients to her booking page, showcasing all her services and consultation options. By integrating with Stripe, Dionne can accept deposits or pre-payments, reducing no-shows and giving her peace of mind.
Growth, by extension
Dionne continued, “I did a lot of research. But, in my opinion, Setmore was the best—super easy to navigate for both me and clients, significantly more affordable, and the support! The support is second to none.” Unlike online marketplaces that control a brand’s visibility and take a cut from each booking, Setmore empowered Dionne to grow on her own terms—with features that give her full autonomy over her brand and bookings—no commission necessary.
A branded booking page showcases your essence to every visitor—custom colours, logo, story, team, reviews, and beyond. Features like Reserve with Google and a ‘Book now’ button on social media empower your brand to connect directly with customers and secure bookings effortlessly.
The Future Has Never Looked So Good
“Setmore has freed up my time, allowing me to focus on growing Simply Goddess and my
second business, Hair Evolution, while also achieving a better working and family life.
balance.” Dionne concluded.
