For clients

How do I book an appointment?

1) Open Salons and choose a salon.
2) Choose the service and a professional (or “any”).
3) Pick a day and free time.
4) Enter name, phone and e-mail and confirm.

The confirmation arrives by e-mail right away. No account needed.

How do I cancel?

Use the Cancel link in your confirmation e-mail or My profile → Bookings → Upcoming → Cancel. Each salon has its own cancellation rule (for example free up to 24 h before). A paid deposit is refunded by the salon when you cancel in time.

How do I reschedule?

The quickest way is to cancel the current booking and book a new free slot. Check the salon’s cancellation rule if you paid a deposit. You can also call the salon.

What is a deposit?

Some salons ask for a small deposit to protect the slot against no-shows. It is deducted from the price. You pay it directly to the salon (payment link, bank transfer, ePay/EasyPay or on site) and press “I paid”. Unpaid deposits release the slot automatically.

When is my deposit refunded?

It depends on the salon’s rule. If you cancel in time, the salon refunds you through its payment system or by bank transfer and you get an e-mail. BeautyBook tracks refunds and steps in after 7 days. Write to us if there is a problem.

What is Last Minute?

Free or released slots in the next hours or days, at a discount. Take one on the Last Minute page with your name and phone.

How do bonus points work?

1 point per completed visit, +2 for Last Minute. Redeem from 50 points (1 point = 0.05 €), up to 20% of the price, from My profile → Bonus points on an upcoming confirmed booking.

How do I check a gift card?

Enter the code on the gift card page to see the value, balance and expiry. It can be used in parts at the salon that issued it.

How do I sign up?

Registration is free: Register → Client, enter name, e-mail and password and confirm your e-mail. With an account you see all your bookings, cancel easily and collect bonus points.

I have a problem with a salon

Sorry about that. First try the salon’s phone from its page. If it is not solved, write to us with the salon name and the date and we will help.

How do I pay for the service?

You pay at the salon. Online you pay only a deposit, if the salon asks for one, and it is deducted from the price.

Question about a specific salon (prices, address, hours, parking, cards)

Everything about a salon is on its BeautyBook page: services and prices, address and map, opening hours, team, reviews and phone. For parking or card payment, the quickest is to call the salon.

Do I need an account to book?

No. You can book with just your name, phone and e-mail. With an account you see all your bookings, cancel more easily and collect bonus points.

Where can I see my bookings?

Log in and open My profile → Bookings: Upcoming (with a Cancel button) and Past. If you booked without an account, the booking is in your confirmation e-mail.

I did not get a booking confirmation

The confirmation is e-mailed right away. Check Spam and Promotions. With an account you also see the booking in My profile → Bookings. If the salon needs a deposit, the booking waits until it is paid.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes. Enter the name and phone of the person who will come. Leave your own e-mail if you want to receive the messages.

I do not see any free slots

The day may be full or the salon closed. Try another day, another professional (“any”) or Last Minute for released slots at a discount. If it is urgent, call the salon.

How do I find a salon near me?

Open Salons and filter by city, district and service, or use the map. Each salon page has services, prices, photos, team and reviews.

What if I do not show up?

Please cancel in time so the slot goes to someone else. If you paid a deposit and do not come without cancelling, the salon may keep it. Your status is in My profile → Security.

How do I use a promo code?

Enter the code when you book, in the promo code field. Codes are valid only at the salon that issued them and within their dates.

How do I leave a review?

After a completed visit you get a short e-mail asking for a rating. Only verified clients with a real visit can review. The salon can reply.

How do I save a favourite salon?

Press ❤️ on the salon page. Your favourites are in My profile → Favourite salons.

How do I sign up for a course?

Open Courses, pick a course and sign up. The course deposit is paid at the salon. Some courses start only with a minimum number of people. If it is full, join the waiting list.

I paid the deposit. What happens next?

After you press “I paid”, the booking stays reserved while the salon checks the payment. Once they confirm it, you get an e-mail. Bank transfers can take up to 1 working day.

The salon moved my appointment

If the professional is absent you get an e-mail with a proposal. You have 24 hours to accept the new time or pick another free slot for free. Without an answer the booking is cancelled and a deposit is marked for refund.

Can I book several services at once?

Each booking is for one service. For more, book them one after another, choosing the next free slot right after the first. For complex combinations, call the salon.

When will I get a reminder?

You get an e-mail reminder the day before (after 10:00). If the salon uses SMS or Viber, you also get a message on your phone.

I am running late

Call the salon right away; the phone is on the salon page. If you cannot make it at all, cancel so the slot is freed.

The salon cancelled my appointment

Sorry! You get an e-mail when the salon cancels, and you can book another free slot right away. A paid deposit must be refunded by the salon. If you do not get it within 7 days, write to us.

How do I contact the salon?

The salon’s phone, address, map and opening hours are on its page in BeautyBook.

My promo code does not work

Check that the code is typed exactly, belongs to this salon, has not expired and has uses left. If it still fails, ask the salon that gave it to you.

Is paying a deposit online safe?

Yes. The deposit goes directly to the salon through its own payment provider or bank. BeautyBook never sees or stores your card data and never holds the money.

Which cities is BeautyBook in?

BeautyBook is for salons all over Bulgaria and new salons join every day. Choose your city in Salons to see them all.

Can I book for today?

Yes, if the salon has free slots today. Last Minute shows them fastest, often with a discount. Salons with a deposit accept online bookings at least 45 minutes ahead.
