They want a same-day slot, and they’re ready to pay more for it. But all your slots go in advance. Carden spots the slots to keep for the day itself, then opens them to your last-minute clients, in a story, at the price you set. Never below your usual price.

Watch
All your slots go in advance. Carden spots the ones to keep for the day itself, then opens them to your last-minute clients, at the price you set.
The problem
In the United Kingdom, 47% of beauty appointments are now booked less than 24 hours ahead (Treatwell data, 2026). And everyone wants the same slots: Saturdays, late afternoons, fully booked days ahead. Every week, clients go elsewhere for lack of a slot. Those clients are ready to pay more for a place today. The problem: all your slots go in advance, at your usual price. None is left for them.

Join the waitlistEstimate: every kept slot is taken on the day; if not, it becomes bookable again at your usual price. These slots would have sold at your usual price: the gain is the premium.
Made to measure
We analyse first: your bookings, your days, your demand. We raise prices afterwards, and only where demand justifies it. Every salon gets its own setup, built with you on its own figures.
Three example setups, not client cases. Yours is built on your figures.
The last-minute price
These slots are your most wanted hours. Kept for the day itself, they go to clients ready to pay more. You decide the extra.

Just starting out? Start with Carden Story
It analyses your bookings over recent months: the days and hours you’re most asked for, the ones that go days ahead. It suggests the slots to keep for the day itself; you choose.
You choose the time when it becomes bookable as normal again, at your usual price. A kept slot is never lost.
By measuring how long your services really take, Carden can also free up new slots. It’s an extra setting, never an obligation.
You do, service by service, and you can add nothing at all. Never below your usual price: there are no discounts in Last Minute. Carden takes 10% of the extra, nothing on the base price.
No. Their appointments don’t change. Only the slots kept for the day carry the last-minute price.
Carden is connected to your calendar: it reads it and changes nothing without you. You approve the slots to keep. You keep working in Fresha, Treatwell or whatever tool you use.
