A salon website that takes bookings, not just compliments
Manva's AI designs your salon's website — services, prices, gallery, reviews — with real online booking built in: customers pick a service, a stylist and a slot; you confirm from WhatsApp with one word. No booking app subscription, no "DM to book".
What your salon gets
- The website, designed for YOUR salon. Bridal-focused studio? Men's grooming? Family salon? The AI designs to your positioning — not a generic beauty template.
- Online booking that actually works. Services with durations and prices, staff calendars, slot selection, double-booking prevention. Customers book at 11pm when they think of it.
- Run it from WhatsApp. "bookings" shows tomorrow's appointments. "confirm 2" confirms one — the customer is notified automatically. Pending bookings are flagged to you each morning in the digest.
- Fill quiet days. Create an offer from chat — "coupon MONDAY20 20" — and it's live as a tap-to-apply chip. Festival campaigns (Karva Chauth, wedding season, Diwali party prep) generated and scheduled for Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Reviews and repeat visits. Collect reviews on the site; keep regulars engaged with your work via auto-posted content in 11 languages.
- Sell products too. Retail your serums and kits on the same site — photo → live product via WhatsApp, UPI/COD/GST included.

Does the booking system prevent double bookings?
Yes — slots are tied to staff calendars and durations, and taken slots aren't offered again. You confirm or decline pending bookings with one word on WhatsApp, and the customer is notified automatically.
Can customers pay online when booking?
You can take payments through your own Razorpay on the site; many salons prefer pay-at-visit and use the booking as commitment — both work.
I get bookings by Instagram DM today. Why change?
DMs work until they don't: missed messages, no-shows, no calendar. A booking link in your bio keeps Instagram as the shopfront and moves the scheduling to a system — you'll still chat with clients as before.
Does this work for clinics, spas and tutors too?
Yes — the same booking engine runs appointment businesses generally: spas, clinics (site content stays informational — no medical claims), tuition, photographers, consultants.
