Golden Hour Appointments

Golden Hour Appointments is the operating system for solo beauty professionals — spray tan artists, hair stylists, lash techs, nail techs, estheticians, bridal makeup artists, massage therapists, and barbers. One app for the three tools you used to run from three apps. YOUR BOOKING LINK, ON INSTAGRAM Share a link in your bio. Clients pick a service, see your real-time availability, leave a deposit, and book themselves. No DMs to chase. No back-and-forth. Your link in their hand is a closed booking. TAP TO PAY ON IPHONE Charge a card from the phone in your pocket. No card reader, no plastic dongle. Funds in your bank in two business days. Tip-friendly receipts go out automatically. A CLIENT LIST YOU OWN Notes, photos, prep instructions, return cadence, allergies, preferences. Export to CSV any time. We never sit between you and your clients. CONFIRMATIONS, REMINDERS, AFTERCARE Booking confirmations, 24-hour reminders, and aftercare follow-ups go out by SMS and email automatically. Built on Golden Hour's shared infrastructure — no Twilio account to manage, no Resend keys to wire up. Just works. TRAVEL ZONES, AUTO-APPLIED Set your drive radii once. Customers in each zone see the right travel fee at booking. No back-and-forth quotes. No surprises. THE TODAY SCREEN The hour before the appointment is the one that matters. Today shows what's next, countdown to start, where to go, who's running late, what to charge. Live Activity shows the same on your lock screen. BUILT FOR YOUR TRADE Pick spray tan, hair, nails, lash, brow, massage, esthetics, makeup, or barber at signup. We pre-load service templates, intake questions, aftercare messages, and rebook cadence calibrated to your craft. WE DON'T TAKE A CUT No platform commission on bookings, payments, or tips. You pay a flat monthly subscription. Stripe charges its standard processing fees (2.9% + 30¢ online, 2.7% + 5¢ in-person). Your money is your money. PRIVACY YOU CAN AUDIT Your client list is yours. Export it any time. Delete your account from in-app and we're gone within 24 hours.
