The beauty-business platform with a front desk built in
goldenhour gives your studio a real business number. Calls get a clean menu that can text your booking link, share membership info, or ring your own phone. Texts get an instant hello and wait in your inbox. And the bookings, the payments, and the follow-ups live in the same quiet place.
No card to start. Free until November 2026, then $19.99/mo locked for life for the founding 100.

Pick a local number inside goldenhour in about a minute. It comes with the flat price, your personal number stays private, and everything that happens on it lands in one inbox.
And on your booking page: an assistant that books signed-in clients →
When the phone rings
“Thanks for calling Mara's studio…” your greeting, in your voice
The rest of the day
book.yourbrand.com: free, auto-SSL, yours. Clients book on your brand, never parked on ours.
Deposits held at booking, 0% commission, money straight to your bank on a daily payout.
Balance and tip clear in seconds with a pocket-size reader or a scan-to-pay QR code, or charge the card on file.
Sell monthly tiers on your booking page. Credits land every period, members book themselves without a deposit, and the member discount applies on its own.
Clients request an in-home visit with the address and party size. You approve or decline from a queue, and travel zones price the drive before anyone pays.
Prep the night before, rinse at four, a review ask after, a win-back when they lapse. The right message at the right hour, from your number.

One price
Founding artists · first 100
Free until November 2026. No card to start, cancel anytime. The price you start at is the price you keep.
Your founding price is written into your account the day you join. It never goes up. See everything included
Every booking, every week, forever. No per-booking fee, no platform commission, no surprise line items. Just standard Stripe processing, passed straight through at cost. And no add-on sprawl: elsewhere an AI receptionist runs about $100 a month and the business number is extra; here the front desk, the number, and everything we ship ride in the flat price.
The team behind it
goldenhour is founder-run and used every day in our own studio. Reply to any email and you're talking to the person who builds the product. Fixes land fast, good suggestions become features, and everything we ship is included in your flat rate.

Calls to your business number get a menu you configure: press 1 texts the caller your booking link, press 2 rings your own phone with the salon's caller ID, press 3 texts membership details, press 4 takes a voicemail that lands in your inbox, transcribed. Miss a call and the caller is texted back within about a minute. First-time texts get an instant reply that someone from the team will be right with them, and the thread waits in your inbox. On your booking page, an optional assistant can also book signed-in clients for you.
