I love getting treatments and going to the
salon, whether it’s to get my brows, nails, hair, wax or whatever I love going
but when it comes to booking it’s one of my most hated chores.
I’m a little deaf (self-diagnosed) but I
hate ringing up and booking an appointment with the hairdresser. With all the
hairdryers blasting in the background it’s hard for me to hear what they’re
saying and hard for them to hear what I’m saying, the amount of times my name
have been taken down wrong or I’ve been booked in for the wrong treatment,
after a while it gets very annoying.
To get around this I like to find places
that I can book online – I do this for two reasons 1) I can book myself in with
my correct details and treatment and 2) they usually give you a list of times
so you can choose which one suits you best and find the perfect time with your
favourite stylist.
I had heard about the Whatsalon app around
the blogisphere but after being approached last week by the founder of the app
I decided to give it a try.
So with Whatsalon instead of booking
online everything can be done on your phone by one simple app. Simply download,
insert your card details and choose which salon you want to book in with.
Booking couldn’t be easier, just choose
your city and the list of salons available pop up. You can book on the day for
a last minute appointment or later in the week if you’re a bit more organised,
then just choose what you want done, your stylist and then your time. A deposit
will be taken from your card at the time of booking and you just have to pay
the remainder when you’re treatment is complete.
Once booked you’ll get an email to confirm
your appointment and also you get a chance to save a picture like the one
below.
I chose to book in with Aviary Lane, a
gorgeous Salon in South Anne Street, I’d actually never heard of the salon but
I will definitely be going back, the staff and surroundings are lovely and if
you’re ever going in for a blow dry ask for Nicola. I always ask for straight
but with volume on top which sometimes never happens I usually get straight and
flat or the volume will only last for a few hours but whatever bit of magic she
put in my hair it was volumous for days.
At the moment the only cities to book in
are Dublin and Cork but keep an eye out in the coming months as there will be
more cities added in Ireland as well inside the M25 area of London this October.
There will also be more salons added, obviously the more successful the app
becomes the more salons will be added in the future.
This will also be such a handy app for
when you’re travelling, there’s time when I’m down the country and want to get
a blow dry or nails done last minute but haven’t a clue which salons are close
or what they offer, so instead of ringing around I’ll be able to whip the phone
out, check the Whatsalon app and see what’s the closest salon is and what times
are available.
It’s so quick and easy, booking is done
literally within seconds with no hassle at all. I know there’s a good few
places now that you can book online but having a load of salons on the one app
is so much easier and will make everything a lot quicker in the future.
To get the app on Apple or Andriod just
click the link here or search Whatsalon on ITunes or the Playstore and get
downloading.
Thanks for reading.
Love Sarah xoxo
