Carden Story
Connected to your booking software, Carden posts the free slot as a story on your Instagram, under your name. Your followers see it. One of them takes it. It pays for itself with the first slot you fill.
Carden Story is live in France. Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when it opens in your country.

What goes out on your account
Carden posts in three situations, and you choose which. Every story carries your salon’s name, your logo and a photo of your service. This is exactly what your followers see.
Your audience, not strangers
They already follow you. The slot reaches them where they already are.
Never intrusive
No texts, no emails: a story, which they watch anyway.
Polished, without you lifting a finger
Under your name, with your logo. Your clients see a slot, not an ad.

An hour before, the slot opens up, and no one is on the waiting list. Your hands are in the colour. Carden tells your followers in a story, and one of them takes it.

The maths
62% of clients cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice (Fresha survey, UK, December 2025). In France, two missed appointments a week cost a salon over €5,000 a year (Fiducial MyHair, 2026). Run the numbers for your salon.
Each month, around 13 empty slots:
€455
that never reach your till.

No. We don’t replace your booking software: we catch what it lets slip. Carden connects to the system you already use, with your permission, and only reads it. All you need is an Instagram professional account — it’s free, and you can switch in two minutes in the app.
Tell us which one you use — Fresha, Treatwell, Booksy or another. We’ll work out with you how to connect it, and you pay nothing until it’s done.
The story says “Book via our profile”. They tap your salon’s name, then the booking link on your profile — the one you already have. The booking lands in your system as usual.
Usually within ten minutes, during your posting hours. For a 3:30 pm slot cancelled at 2 pm, your followers see it well before the time.
No. They see a slot that has just opened up: it happens in every salon, even the busiest. The story disappears after 24 hours and your feed stays as it is.
