Salon booking software that matches every service to the right stylist in Makkah
Women's beauty salons in Saudi Arabia get many requests through Instagram and WhatsApp, and answering each by hand takes up reception's time. One booking link in the profile shows each stylist's open times so customers choose for themselves. Wedding, graduation and Eid seasons bring long, multi-service bookings, such as hair, make-up and nails for a bride and her family, and checking the service, stylist and branch together stops one stylist being booked for two brides in the same hour. Salons that prepare brides at home can run those visits as at-home services with zones and drivers. Specialities per stylist make sure a colour or keratin treatment is only offered with someone trained for it.
Replx is cloud appointment software for hair and beauty salons. Clients use one booking link that lists cuts, colour, blow-dries and occasion styling with prices and durations, then choose a stylist and a time. Only stylists who perform that service and have room for its full length are offered, and reception sees every appointment in one list instead of scattered messages.

in Saudi Arabia
Running appointment bookings in Saudi Arabia has a few practical needs. The first is an Arabic booking page that reads right to left, since many customers browse in Arabic, with English for those who prefer it. The second is showing prices in Saudi riyals, the way customers pay. The third is a schedule that respects the Friday–Saturday weekend and working hours that change in Ramadan, when many businesses shift to the hours after iftar and late into the night. In Replx you set these yourself through working hours and closures per branch and per provider. It is also worth planning for evening peaks, when many customers prefer to book after work, and for the days before Eid, when demand tends to rise. Checking availability before confirmation keeps one provider from being booked twice in those crowded hours.
How Replx helps
One link for your bio and your replies
Put your booking page link in your Instagram bio and paste it into message replies. The client picks the service, the stylist and the time herself, and the booking lands in the same list reception works from.
Specialities decide who is bookable for what
Link each stylist to the services she is trained for and set her hours and leave. Only the colour specialist appears for colour requests, and anyone on leave simply does not appear.
Bridal bundles and occasion gifts
Group bridal hair, make-up and a treatment into one service bundle, or let a client gift a blow-dry to a friend. Anything she has prepaid stays in her customer wallet.
The day's numbers from one source
Booking and finance reports pull together what happened over the day and the week, showing when the salon is busy and when it is quiet, so planning for wedding season starts from a real record.
A second salon without a second system
When you open in another neighbourhood, add that branch to the same account with its own team, services and hours, and switch between the two salons from one console.
Frequently asked questions
Does Replx show prices in riyals?
- Yes. Replx subscription prices are in Saudi riyals and exclude VAT where it applies, and your booking page shows your service prices in riyals exactly as you set them in your account.
Can I set Ramadan hours?
- Yes. You change working hours per branch and per provider to fit Ramadan, and add closures for days you do not open, such as Eid days. The open times on your booking page follow those hours directly.
Is the booking page in Arabic?
- Yes. The booking page and the console work in right-to-left Arabic and in English, so customers choose the language they prefer and your team can work in Arabic too.
Do I need a commercial registration to try Replx?
- The free trial only needs a company account and an email address, with no credit card and no automatic charge when it ends. For the regulatory requirements of your business itself, check with the relevant authorities.
Does Replx collect VAT on my services?
- No. Replx keeps the invoices and payments log and shows finance reports, but it does not collect tax or file returns on your behalf. That stays with your business and your accountant.
Can a client choose her stylist when booking online?
- Yes. She chooses the service, then the stylist, and sees open times in that stylist's schedule only. A stylist who does not perform the requested service is not shown for it, which stops mismatched appointments before they happen.
Can Replx send appointment reminders by WhatsApp?
- WhatsApp and SMS messaging is a separate service from the Replx monthly subscription and is priced on its own, so ask support what fits your salon. Either way, clients can check their appointments from their own page at any time, and your team can contact them in whatever way you already use.
