Mobile beauty booking app checklist
Use this checklist before choosing or changing a booking app for mobile beauty therapy, makeup, nails, brows, lashes, or hair appointments.
Booking and travel fit
- The app collects full address and postcode before confirming the visit.
- Services carry realistic duration, set up time, and travel buffer rules.
- Edge areas can be blocked, charged differently, or sent for manual approval.
- Access, parking, stairs, buzzer, pet, and setup notes are captured with the booking.
Treatment and client fit
- The form can ask treatment-specific questions without making every booking feel long.
- Patch test, consultation, consent, allergy, and preparation status can be stored.
- Repeat clients keep useful treatment history and preferences.
- Client notes stay close to the appointment instead of disappearing into messages.
Deposit and payment fit
- The client sees deposit, balance, travel fee, and cancellation wording before confirming.
- Payment status is visible beside the appointment.
- Invoices, receipts, or payment notes can be connected to the visit.
- Unpaid balances are easy to review after the appointment.
Reminder and follow up fit
- Reminders include time, address, preparation, patch test status, and reschedule options.
- Operational reminders are kept separate from promotional marketing.
- On the day updates can include arrival windows or access checks.
- Follow up tasks can be tied to the same client and appointment record.
