Fabricate

Describe your salon booking app. Fabricate builds it.

Write what you need in plain words: your services, your stylists, your hours. Fabricate builds a working web app with sign-in, its own database and a live link to share with clients.

Then try it yourself and ask for changes in the same chat until it fits the way your salon runs.

From one message to a salon app

Then try it yourself and ask for changes in the same chat until it fits.

You write: A booking website for my hair salon. Clients pick a service, a stylist and a free time slot, then leave their name and phone number. No client account needed to book. Only I can sign in, and I see all bookings for the week, grouped by stylist, and can cancel or move a booking. Make it easy to use on a phone.

Fabricate

I built your salon booking website: services, stylists and free time slots to choose, a short form for the client's name and phone number, and a sign-in only you can use to see the week's bookings by stylist and cancel or move one. Book one stylist at the same time twice in the preview.

Then ask for changes, such as

  • Add each stylist's hours
  • Add client cards
  • Use our salon colours

A whole new app usually takes about 20 to 35 credits.

Where the salon week goes

Most of it is not hair. It is keeping track.

  • Bookings arrive from everywhere

    Calls in the middle of a colour, messages after closing, walk-ins at the desk. Someone has to copy all of it into one book.

  • Client notes live on paper

    Colour formulas, allergies and what was done last time sit on cards, in a notebook or in one stylist's memory.

  • Booking software built for someone else

    Ready-made booking tools come with their own screens and their own idea of how a salon works.

  • The rota changes every week

    Who works Saturday, who is on holiday, who covers the late shift. It changes faster than a printed schedule.

What your salon app comes with

  • Sign-in for your team

    Ask for staff logins that join by your invite, so only you and your stylists see bookings and client notes. Clients book without an account.

  • Its own database

    Every booking, client and service is saved in the app's own database and is still there tomorrow.

  • A live link to share

    Publish and the app gets its own address, like your-salon.fabricate.chat, ready for your Instagram bio or a text to a client.

  • Your own domain

    On Pro and Max, connect a domain you already own, like yoursalon.com.

  • Changes in plain words

    Add a service, change the colours or move a button by asking in the chat, the same way you described the app.

  • Works on a phone

    Apps are built for phones as well as laptops, which is where most clients will book.

How to build a salon app

Four steps, all in one chat.

  1. 1Describe your services and stylists

    What you offer, how long each service takes, who does it and when you are open.

  2. 2Make test bookings

    Book the same stylist at the same time twice in the preview to check the slot is taken.

  3. 3Ask for changes

    Add a page, a field or a colour by asking in the same chat.

  4. 4Publish it

    The live app starts with a fresh database, so your test entries stay behind.

Chat

Once it is live

Every booking lands in one place

Once your app is published, every booking the client sends through it is kept under Responses in Fabricate, and you get an email for each one, up to a daily limit. You can download them all as a CSV file.

On Pro and Max, you can also turn on a confirmation email to the client and a reminder email 24 hours before the date, again up to a daily limit.

Fabricate does not send text messages.

Questions from salon owners

Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the app in your own words and Fabricate builds it. To change something, you ask in the chat the same way.
Can clients book appointments themselves?
Yes, if you ask for it. Describe your services, how long each one takes and who does them, and Fabricate builds a booking page where clients pick a time and leave their details. Make a few test bookings yourself before you share the link.
Can it send reminder texts or take deposits?
Partly. Fabricate does not send text messages, but the app can list tomorrow's bookings with each client's phone number, so a reminder text is quick to send yourself. On Pro and Max, the app can take card payments through Stripe Checkout, paid into your own Stripe account, which you connect under More > Payments. Once your app is published, every booking, order or enquiry a customer sends through it is kept under Responses in Fabricate, and you get an email for each one, up to a daily limit. On Pro and Max, you can also turn on a confirmation email to that customer and, for a booking, a reminder email 24 hours before it, again up to a daily limit.
Who can see my client list?
Only the people you choose, if you ask for that when you describe the app: say that only you can sign in, or that staff join with an invite code you give them. A sign-in that anyone can register for does not keep client names, phone numbers and notes private. On Free, anyone with the link can open the app itself, so keep those details behind that owner or invite-only sign-in. On Pro and Max you can make the whole app private.
Will my test bookings show up in the live app?
No. Publishing gives the live app a fresh database of its own, so the test entries you made in the preview stay behind.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro and Max. On Free, a published app gets its own free address on fabricate.chat.
What does it cost?
You can start on Free, which includes 60 credits a month and needs no card. A whole new app usually takes about 20 to 35 credits and a small change about 3 to 10 credits. Current plans are on the pricing page.
