What differentiates us (IVR, in-app SMS, rinse timers & custom features)
What differentiates goldenhour from generic salon software

Built for spray tan studios.
Right through the rinse.

Generic booking apps treat a spray tan like a haircut. Goldenhour runs our own Miami Beach studio (book.sobetan.com) every day, with an interactive phone IVR you can customize using your own voice, two-way client texting, prep forms, automatic SMS rinse timers, custom subdomains, multi-location & multi-employee rosters, and a Suggestions board where you can ask for new features and vote on what we build next.

01 · INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE & MISSED-CALL TEXT-BACK

A custom phone menu when clients call while you are mid-spray.

When your hands are on the spray gun, your dedicated studio number answers in your own voice. You can customize the greeting using your voice so callers hear you, not a robot. Callers press 1 for an instant text to your booking page, press 2 to ring your cell with salon caller ID, press 3 for membership details, or press 4 for transcribed voicemail. Hang-ups get an automatic text-back inside a minute.

  • Customize the greeting using your own voice (record or upload in Settings)
  • Press 1 texts your booking link so callers book before calling another salon
  • Press 2 rings your phone with salon caller ID, and calls you skip go to voicemail
  • Transcribed voicemails land in your shared inbox alongside client texts

Can I choose my deposits and cancellation rules?

Yes. Set your deposit amounts and cancellation policy for your business, and collect the deposit during booking.

Can you help me move my client list?

Yes. Upload a CSV from your current booking tool in Settings, or email your CSV export to hello@goldenhourhq.com and our team gets the import ready at no charge, and you press Import once to bring it in. You can export your client list again whenever you need it.
