For salons, barbers & beauty pros

The phone rings mid-blow-dry. The chat books it for you.

Clients pick the service, the stylist and a free time inside WhatsApp or Instagram, get reminded the day before, and move it in the chat instead of not turning up.

Your turn

Be the client

Book a chair the way Reem would, between appointments, and watch the salon's diary fill.

Drawn screens, real messages: each reply is what IHGIZ sends.

Play a week of it yourself

In the tour you are the client on WhatsApp while IHGIZ books, reminds and moves the appointment on your side. A few minutes, for people rather than bots — so we ask your first name and a quick code.

Made for how you work

Built around a salon's week

One schedule per service
A blow-dry, a cut, a colour — each with its own length and hours.
Reminders you time
A day before, an hour before — up to three, depending on your plan.
Moves, not no-shows
Clients propose a new time in the chat. You approve with one reply.
Your own calendar, both ways
Busy time in Google, Outlook or Apple keeps those hours off your page, and every booking appears there through your calendar feed.
Regulars, every week
Clients can book the same time weekly, in one go.
Every chat in one place
WhatsApp, Telegram and email in one thread per client.

What scheduling costs you today

Put your own numbers in.

Every figure below is yours: how many bookings you handle, how long the back-and-forth takes, what your time is worth, how often people do not turn up. No industry statistic is added — change any assumption and the result follows.

Starter $19

Max $79

Bookings through IHGIZ confirm themselves and reminders go out on their own; the time you keep is whatever share of the arranging you no longer do.

This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not a promise about your results.

Good to know

Do my clients need an app?

No. They book in WhatsApp, Telegram, email or on your booking page — whatever they already use.

Which WhatsApp number do clients message?

During the pilot, IHGIZ's. After it, from the Pro plan, your salon's own WhatsApp Business number. Email, your booking page and a chat widget work on every plan; Telegram from Starter.

Can each stylist take their own bookings?

Yes. Each stylist or chair gets their own schedule and link, booked side by side on the salon's account.

What if someone still doesn't turn up?

Mark them as a no-show and it shows in your analytics. Reminders and easy moves are how IHGIZ helps it happen less.

Can clients pay a deposit when they book?

Not yet. IHGIZ doesn't take payments for appointments today.
