The ticket and the text
Wait wherever you like. A text just before your turn.
In the salon
Thirty seconds inside an equipped shop.
Filmed on a working day at Barber District. Nothing was staged.
On the salon’s side
No rota to build. Today’s team switches on, Carden does the rest.
Demo of the Carden Salon software: the salon’s tablet runs everything. Fresha connects with one switch, today’s team is switched on with one tap, walk-ins and appointments form a single queue whose times recalculate, a card is dragged from one stylist to another, “Next” calls the next client on the waiting-area screen, a break reshuffles the queue; each time, the client’s ticket updates on their phone and a text lets them know.
- Whoever’s in switches on
- In the morning, one tap on the tablet. Nobody to fit into a rota.
- Every walk-in is captured
- Nobody walks away because it’s full any more: they take a ticket and come back.
- The queue shares itself out
- Based on who’s free, recalculated continuously. If you have a booking system, it stays connected.

What people ask us before installing.
Another question?Write to us: the founder answers, not a bot.
WhatsApp usDo I need to buy a kiosk?+
No. A QR code in the window or on the counter is enough to start. The kiosk gives a visible welcome as soon as people walk in; you can add it later. The hardware is bought by the salon and belongs to it.
What about my appointments?+
They join the same queue as walk-ins. One order, visible to everyone — nobody has to referee at the front desk.
Does the client need to download an app?+
No. The ticket opens in their phone’s browser, with no account to create. A text lets them know just before their turn.
Do I need a booking system?+
No. Carden Salon runs the salon on its own, from ticket to chair. If you have an online booking system, it stays connected alongside.
How long does setup take?+
It depends on the equipment. With a QR code or a tablet, we set everything up remotely, in an hour at most. A floor-standing kiosk takes a little more preparation. Either way, no building work.
Is the waiting-area screen required?+
No, it’s optional. It shows the queue and how things stand right now; many salons start without one.
