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 Vancouver?

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 CAD.

Does the form follow PIPEDA?

The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following PIPEDA 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 Chinese.

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 Vancouver, 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 British Columbia's PIPA means for this form

In British Columbia, BC's Personal Information Protection Act applies to private businesses in the province instead of PIPEDA.

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 Vancouver

Vancouver changes its clocks for daylight saving, so a Men's cut at 18:00 stays at 18:00 local time all year. CalendarForm skips times that do not exist on the night the clocks go forward.

Vancouver is on a different time zone from Toronto, so set your business time zone to America/Vancouver in CalendarForm settings.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in America/Vancouver, 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 America/Vancouver and add your opening hours.
Edit the questions above, add the British Columbia's PIPA 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.
