How do I handle braids that take five or six hours?

Set the duration on the service itself. When a client books knotless braids, the system blocks that full stretch of the stylist's day, so nobody else can be booked into it.

Can I ask for a deposit before a braiding appointment?

Yes. Deposits through Mobile Money are switched on per service, so you can require one for long braids or wig installs and leave a simple wash or trim without one.

Do I pay anything when clients pay me in cash?

No. A client who pays for her braids in cash at the salon costs you nothing in fees. AyaBookings only takes 5% from MoMo paid on your page, such as a deposit for a long style.

Can clients book a specific stylist?

Yes. Each stylist appears with the services they do, and the client can choose who works on her hair or take the first stylist available.

Can someone book without a smartphone?

Yes. An older client or one without data can key in your USSD code on any handset, choose her style and pick a time. She can also book via WhatsApp if she prefers to chat.

Will clients get a reminder before their appointment?

Yes. AyaBookings sends an automatic SMS reminder before the booking, so a client who booked weeks ago for a Saturday braid still remembers.

Hair Salon Booking App in Ghana

A hair salon day does not run in neat 30-minute blocks. Knotless braids can hold a stylist for most of the afternoon, a wig install sits next to a quick wash and set, and a relaxer touch-up has to fit somewhere in between. When those bookings live in a notebook and five WhatsApp chats, one long braiding job can quietly swallow two other appointments. AyaBookings lets you list each hairstyle with its real duration, so customers in East Legon, Dansoman, Tema Community 25 or Ahodwo in Kumasi only see times your stylists can genuinely finish. Long services can carry a Mobile Money deposit so the client who booked six hours of braids actually turns up. Each stylist has her own day plan, SMS reminders go out automatically, and the AyaBookings for Business app keeps it all on your phone. Your salon pays nothing to use it; cash at the salon has no fee and 5% is only taken from Mobile Money paid online.

Why Ghana businesses choose AyaBookings

Each style is booked for its true length, so a five-hour braid booking blocks the stylist's afternoon instead of overlapping with a silk press.
Deposits through Mobile Money can be required on long braiding or wig jobs only, protecting the hours you set aside.
Clients can ask for a particular stylist, which matters when one person is known for frontals and another for cornrows.
SMS reminders go to the client ahead of the appointment, which helps on early-morning braiding slots that people tend to forget.
Customer records keep each client's history, so you can see when she last had a relaxer or a treatment.

How it works

1
Create your salon profile with the location clients know, such as Osu Oxford Street or Adum, and your opening days.

3
Add your stylists and mark which services each one does and which days they work.
4
Decide which services need a Mobile Money deposit, then share your booking link on Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp.
5
Track the day in the app: who is in the chair, who is next, and which client still owes the balance.

Built for how you work in Ghana

Braiding salons lose real money when a long slot is held for someone who never arrives; deposits on long styles reduce that risk.
December and Easter bring a rush of clients who want hair done before travel or family gatherings, and booking ahead stops the last-minute pile-up.
Salons often have one stylist on wigs and another on natural hair; separate schedules keep those queues apart.
Clients bring their own extensions or buy from you; agreeing this when they book avoids surprises when they arrive.
