Can clients choose a stylist?

One account is one calendar today. Staff calendars are planned; until then, a busy salon can use one account per stylist.

Are reminders included?

Email reminders are included. SMS and WhatsApp reminders will be a paid add-on.

Is a free booking form enough for salons and barbers in Nairobi?

For most small salons and barbers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in KES.

Does the form follow the Data Protection Act 2019?

The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the Data Protection Act 2019 is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.

Can I write the form in English?

Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in English and Swahili.

What salons and barbers usually let customers book

Men's cut: a 1-to-1 appointment, 30 min
Cut and blow dry: a 1-to-1 appointment, 60 min
Full colour: a 1-to-1 appointment, 120 min

For salons and barbers in Nairobi, CalendarForm gives a salon or barbershop a booking page where clients pick a service and a free time, with a buffer between appointments for cleanup. Clients get an email confirmation and a reminder the day before.

Set a 10-15 minute buffer so you are never rushed.

Ask about allergies before colour appointments.

Privacy: what the Data Protection Act 2019 means for this form

Nationally, the Data Protection Act 2019 is Kenya's data law: tell people why you collect their details and get consent.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in Nairobi

Nairobi has no daylight saving, so your timetable never shifts against UTC: UTC+3 every day of the year.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Africa/Nairobi, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Booking form".
Set the time zone to Africa/Nairobi and add your opening hours.
Edit the questions above, add the the Data Protection Act 2019 consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.
