Appointment Automation

£1.6 Billion. Gone. No‑Shows.

UK salons collectively lose £1.6 billion a year to missed appointments. The average no-show rate is 10–20%. Automated reminders cut that by up to 70% — and fill cancelled slots from your waitlist before the chair goes cold.

The Problem

Three empty chairs a day adds up to £30,000 a year in wasted revenue

Every no-show is more than a lost appointment. It’s wasted prep time, an unhappy therapist, and revenue that’s gone for good.

The Silence After Booking

A client books three weeks out. No reminder. No confirmation. Life happens. They forget — or they find somewhere closer. You only notice when the chair sits empty at 2 PM on a Thursday.

Cancellation Without Replacement

Someone cancels at 9 AM for a 10 AM slot. There’s no waitlist system. Your team calls around manually — by the time they reach someone available, the slot’s gone. An hour of revenue, lost.

The Emotional Toll

It’s not just money. You set up the room, mixed the colour, and waited. Nobody came. 40% of salon owners say no-shows harm their mental health — that frustration is real and it compounds.

Without vs With

Your clients confirmed. Your waitlist active. Your chair never empty

Here’s what changes when reminders run themselves.

Without Automation
Manual reminder calls squeezed between clients — if you get to them at all
No-show rate: 15–20% with no visibility into who offends repeatedly
Cancellation means an empty chair. No waitlist, no replacement
Staff spend 1–2 hours a day chasing confirmations by phone
No data on cancellations, revenue lost, or patterns over time
With Coremagna
48h + 24h + 2h reminders sent automatically via WhatsApp and SMS
No-show rate drops to under 5%. Every no-show logged and flagged automatically
Cancellation triggers instant waitlist offer. Slot filled before you notice it’s gone
Staff spend 15 minutes reviewing the dashboard. That’s it
Morning summary report shows yesterday’s confirmations, cancellations, and revenue recovered
How It Works

From booking to confirmed in 4 steps

Set up once. Runs silently every day. You see the results in your booking sheet.

Client Books

Via phone, Instagram DM, or your website. The moment a booking is created in your system, the reminder sequence starts. Nothing manual required.

Booking Created
Sarah — Lash Lift · Thu 15 May 2:30 PM · Emma

Reminder sequence: Active ✓
Instant Confirmation
“Hi Sarah, your lash lift with Emma is confirmed for Thursday 15 May at 2:30 PM. See you then! ✓✓”

AI Sends Confirmation

An instant WhatsApp or SMS confirmation goes out within seconds of booking. The client knows the appointment is locked in, and you get a read receipt. No chasing.

Smart Reminders

48 hours before: “Can you make it?” with a one-tap confirm button. 2 hours before: “See you soon!” No reply after 24h? A reschedule option is offered automatically. The chair stays full.

Reminder Schedule
48h — Confirmation request
2h — Same-day reminder
No reply — Reschedule offered
Slot Filled
“Hi Priya, a 2:30 PM slot has just opened with Emma on Thursday. Want it? Reply YES to confirm.”

Priya: “Yes please!” ✓✓

Waitlist Fills the Gap

If someone cancels, the next client on your waitlist gets an instant offer. The slot is filled before you even noticed it was empty. Revenue protected without a single phone call.

What Your Clients See

Your brand. Your tone. Every client reminded beautifully

Messages arrive on WhatsApp — the channel with a 98% open rate. Personalised with your salon name, their stylist, and their exact appointment time.

92% of UK salons experience no-shows. The ones that automate reminders see rates drop from 20% to under 5% — and fill the gaps before the revenue is lost.
