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 Osaka?

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 JPY.

Does the form follow the APPI?

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

Can I write the form in Japanese?

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

Full colour: a 1-to-1 appointment, 120 min

For salons and barbers in Osaka, 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 APPI means for this form

Nationally, the APPI is the Act on the Protection of Personal Information: state the purpose of use and keep to it.

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.
