Booking and loyalty software for hair salons

Last updated 27 October 2026

Forkd helps hair salons keep the clients they have already won. More first-time clients come back for a second visit, regulars rebook without being chased, and the diary stays fuller.

The problem in a hair salon

A salon spends time and money winning a new client, and many never return. The ones who do often rebook only when they remember, which leaves gaps in the diary between visits. The gap between the first visit and the second is where most salons lose clients.

What changes

  • More new clients come back for a second visit.
  • Regulars rebook on time instead of drifting away.
  • Fewer empty slots and last-minute gaps.
  • A reason for clients to choose you again, and to bring a friend.
  • A clear view of what is working in your business.

Built around your business

Most booking apps are the same for everyone. You get the same screens and settings, and you set them up yourself. Forkd is different: we set it up around how a hair salon actually works, including your services and prices, your team, your brand and the rewards that suit your clients. After you go live we review it with you after the first week and the first month, and keep adjusting it as your business changes.

A reward that fits

A simple rule such as “every 6th cut free” gives clients a clear reason to choose you again.

Cheaper on paper? Look at what is included

Self-serve apps often look cheaper because the monthly price covers the software and little else. Setting it up, writing the messages, adding loyalty and paying for each message are extras, in money or in your time. Forkd plans start at R499 a month per location, excl. VAT, with a once-off setup fee that covers setting it up around your business, and no commission on your bookings. See a worked price comparison.

See it with your own business

We set Forkd up around your services, prices and brand, and after that it runs by itself. The best way to see it is a private demo built for your business. Request a personalised demo.
