About TimeToBook

Simple management software for salons and barbers, built by a team who thinks you shouldn't need a second mortgage to manage your appointments.

Why TimeToBook exists

A friend of mine runs a hair salon. One day they mentioned how much they were paying for their salon software — way too much, for a tool that was mostly calendar and text reminders.

I looked into the existing solutions. Most charge per staff member, take a cut of bookings, or pile on hidden fees. For a small salon, the costs add up fast — just to let clients book online.

Most salons don't use 90% of what these platforms offer. They need a booking calendar, SMS reminders, and an online booking page. That's it. So I built exactly that.

What we believe

Software should be simple

Most booking tools are bloated with features you'll never use. We only build what actually matters to salons.

Pricing should be fair

Your first staff member is free, forever. Additional staff are £7/month each. No percentage cuts, no hidden fees, no contracts.

Small businesses deserve better tools

Independent stylists and small salons shouldn't have to choose between expensive software and a paper diary. There's a middle ground.

Who's behind it

TimeToBook is built and run by the team at JCK XYZ, a UK-based company with roots in New Zealand. We're a small team with ties to both countries — which means we understand the Kiwi salon market first-hand, backed by a registered UK company.

That dual perspective shapes everything we build: practical, no-nonsense software that's priced for real small businesses, not enterprise budgets.
