Plans and booking
Starter is free and allows 20 appointments a month. Its listed features include scheduling, unlimited clients, online booking and manual text reminders. Goldie says Pro and Pro Plus allow unlimited appointments. The homepage also describes automatic reminders and a branded booking site, while the plan FAQ specifies which basic booking features are on Starter. Business tools Goldie describes taking deposits and contactless payments, managing staff schedules and permissions, tracking client notes and appointment history, and handling inventory and product sales. The homepage also says the app can be used on unlimited devices. These features position Goldie as more than a calendar for a single stylist.
Reminders that keep chairs full
Automatic reminders go out to clients ahead of their appointments, and confirmations let people know their slot is secure. Text messages carry the details clients need, so fewer people forget a visit or arrive at the wrong time. For a small salon, one missed appointment can leave a whole afternoon half empty, so steady reminders protect the day as well as the income. Owners can also send targeted messages to announce a treatment or to fill a last minute opening, keeping the calendar active without a flurry of phone calls.
Reaching clients through search
Bookings can be linked to the online routes many clients already use when they look for a stylist or a nail technician nearby. That visibility places a practice in front of people who are ready to book rather than those still browsing. The online booking option is designed to be shared easily, so a business can point clients to one link from its social profiles, its email signature or a printed card. Information stays consistent across those routes because every booking, change and reminder flows through the same calendar.
Deposits that protect your time
Deposits can be collected at the moment a client books, which gives a practice a fair safeguard against last minute absence. Because the deposit is taken in advance, the time set aside for a client stays protected whether or not they arrive. Payments can also be taken in person, so a service can end with the transaction handled on the spot. Keeping every payment inside the same system means owners see a complete picture of what came in, and staff are not juggling separate notes for different parts of the day.
A clear view of the business
Earnings tracking shows how each part of the business is performing, from takings over a chosen period to the services that bring in the most regular visits. Owners can weigh staff performance without digging through spreadsheets, and reports reveal which days run busiest. Stock levels are also followed, so popular products stay on the shelf and sales can be made directly from the same system. Taken together, these views help a small team make informed decisions about working time, staffing and the mix of services offered.
