Short questions, honest answers.

Online booking for hairdressers, barbershops, beauty salons and nail salons. Your customers book on your own booking page, such as your-salon.kammzeit.com, and you see everything in the calendar in your dashboard, together with the appointments you add yourself.

For salons with set services and working hours, from one-person studios to teams, with or without walk-ins. It is not the right fit if you need to schedule rooms, treatment cabins or equipment, or want to run several locations from one account. Kammzeit can't do that. Each location would need its own account with its own email address.

Your customers don't: they book in the browser, without an app and without creating an account. Your dashboard runs in the browser too, and you can also install it like an app on your phone, tablet or computer, without an app store. Install the app
