A treatment cancelled at 3 pm?Your followers see it in your stories.

Facials, waxing, massage: your services are sold by the hour and can’t be stored. Carden fills today’s free treatment rooms with clients who decide now — without touching your memberships or your packages.

We know your day

Three things that cost you, every day.

The treatment cancelled the night before, for nothing
An hour in the treatment room, booked three weeks ago, falls through the evening before. The room, the therapist and the slot are there — the client isn’t. Nobody will take the slot at 8 pm.
Midweek lulls
On Tuesday and Wednesday, two rooms run half-empty. At the weekend, you turn people away. Your demand and your availability never meet at the right moment.
Packages that don’t come back
A client with ten prepaid sessions who spaces out her visits is revenue already banked but rooms left empty — and loyalty quietly wearing away.

What Carden changes

An hour in the treatment room can’t be kept warm until tomorrow.

The freed slot goes back out the same day
As soon as a treatment falls through, the slot is offered to your local clients, with the service and the time. A story goes out, a room fills up.
Slots held back for the day itself
You decide to keep one or two slots a day for spontaneous demand — the ones that would sell last anyway. They’re released automatically if nobody comes.

What you get out of it

Slots won back, without spending a minute on it.

Your current offer, announced
You set a price of the day on a treatment: Carden announces it in a story. You remove it, it stops. Without an offer set by you, no promotion goes out.
Your prices untouched
A flash slot isn’t a discount: it’s a rare slot, announced in time. Your prices and packages don’t move.

What goes out on your account

You don’t write a single story.

A freed slot, today’s free times, an offer you launch: Carden posts in your name, with your logo and a photo of the service.

How it works

Nothing to install. You set it up once, then there’s nothing left to do.

  1. We connect your diary

    Fresha, Treatwell or another. No double entry, with your consent.

  2. You set it up once

    Your colours, your hours, the number of stories per day.

  3. The rest goes out on its own

    The next freed slot is announced without you.

Whatever your set-up

Four ways of working, the same gap in the day.

Beauty salon
Waxing, facials, nails: twenty- to forty-minute services that slot into a day already under way.
Spa & wellness centre
Treatment rooms and massages: long services are the most expensive to lose.
Salon in a shopping centre
You also live off passing trade: part of your rooms stays open for the same day.
Salon with memberships
Your members see today’s free slots and come back more often, without reminders.

The maths

Your cancellations have a price. Story costs €9.90.

3
35

Each month, around 13 empty slots:

€455

that never reach your till.

One filled slot pays for Story.€9.90 a month. Live in France for now.

Join the waitlist

You might be thinking

“I already have software for my till and client records.”

Keep it. Carden handles neither your till nor your records — it reads your availability and fills what was going to stay empty. No migration, no double entry.

Before you take our word for it

Judge on the slots you actually win back, not on our promises. No commitment: you stop whenever you like.

What people ask us before starting.

Your best slots go days in advance?Carden Last Minute

Do you also take walk-ins?Carden Salon

I already have software for my till and client records.+

Keep it. Carden replaces neither your till, nor your records, nor your diary: it reads your availability and fills what was going to stay empty. No migration, no double entry.

Does it mean cutting prices?+

No. A flash slot isn’t a discount: it’s a rare slot announced in time. Your prices, packages and memberships stay exactly the same.

How does it work with treatments of different lengths?+

Carden knows the length of each service and only offers what genuinely fits the gap available. A one-hour slot will never be offered a ninety-minute treatment.

What about my clients on memberships or packages?+

They’re often the first to react: they’ve already paid and are looking for the right moment. Seeing a same-day slot go by brings them back more often, without anyone having to call them.

What do I need to do to get started?+

Nothing to install. We connect to your diary, you approve your story template once, and the first freed slot does the rest.

What happens if nobody takes the slot?+

Nothing — you’re exactly where you would have been without Carden, and you pay nothing extra. There’s no commitment: you judge on your own figures and stop whenever you like.

Not in the right place?

Every trade loses its slots in its own way.
