About

Golden Hour Appointments is the operating system for solo beauty professionals — spray tan artists, hair stylists, lash techs, nail techs, estheticians, bridal makeup artists, massage therapists, and barbers. One app for the three tools you used to run from three apps. YOUR BOOKING LINK, ON INSTAGRAM Share a link in your bio. Clients pick a service, see your real-time availability, leave a deposit, and book themselves. No DMs to chase. No back-and-forth. Your link in their hand is a closed booking. TAP TO PAY ON IPHONE Charge a card from the phone in your pocket. No card reader, no plastic dongle. Funds in your bank in two business days. Tip-friendly receipts go out automatically. A CLIENT LIST YOU OWN Notes, photos, prep instructions, return cadence, allergies, preferences. Export to CSV any time. We never sit between you and your clients. CONFIRMATIONS, REMINDERS, AFTERCARE Booking confirmations, 24-hour reminders, and aftercare follow-ups go out by SMS and email automatically. Built on Golden Hour's shared infrastructure — no Twilio account to manage, no Resend keys to wire up. Just works. TRAVEL ZONES, AUTO-APPLIED Set your drive radii once. Customers in each zone see the right travel fee at booking. No back-and-forth quotes. No surprises. THE TODAY SCREEN The hour before the appointment is the one that matters. Today shows what's next, countdown to start, where to go, who's running late, what to charge. Live Activity shows the same on your lock screen. BUILT FOR YOUR TRADE Pick spray tan, hair, nails, lash, brow, massage, esthetics, makeup, or barber at signup. We pre-load service templates, intake questions, aftercare messages, and rebook cadence calibrated to your craft. WE DON'T TAKE A CUT No platform commission on bookings, payments, or tips. You pay a flat monthly subscription. Stripe charges its standard processing fees (2.9% + 30¢ online, 2.7% + 5¢ in-person). Your money is your money. PRIVACY YOU CAN AUDIT Your client list is yours. Export it any time. Delete your account from in-app and we're gone within 24 hours. Full privacy policy at goldenhourhq.com/privacy. — Golden Hour Appointments is operated by Gabriel Oleas, a single developer, in Florida, USA. Real human support at hello@goldenhourhq.com — replies within one business day.

What's New in Golden Hour Appointments

1.4.7

August 6, 2026

Tips now read in whole dollars. The tip keypad counted in cents, so a customer tapping 1 then 0 for a $10 tip left you ten cents. One tap is $1.00 now. The ceiling lifted too: a 40% cap was refusing generous tips the card network would have settled without complaint, so a $20 service can take a $50 tip. Cash and check payments get recorded. The Charge button on a receipt marked the visit complete and stamped it PAID without saving any money, so the visit read unpaid again after the next sync. It is called Record now, and it saves the payment before it claims anything. Cash sales no longer stall. With cash rounding switched on, the rounded total stopped matching what the sale added up to, so the sale was refused and held up every sale behind it. Rounding is its own line on the sale now. Sell retail on an appointment. Charging a client from the calendar reaches the full product catalog now, with the same variant picker, stock deduction and sales tax as the walk-in register. Log a visit that already happened. The booking wizard refused a start time in the past, so the walk-in who came in at 2pm could not be recorded at 2:01. Past visits are allowed now and land completed, with no confirmation text for a visit that already finished. Text a pay link for a client you cannot invoice. When there is a phone number and no email address on file, send a link to pay instead. One card reader at a time. On an iPhone that had ever paired an M2, opening checkout woke that reader and Tap to Pay together and they competed for the single connection allowed. Checkout now wakes only the reader the sale is going out on, and stepping away to another app no longer drops it. Messaging a client goes out on your business line. Eight buttons around the app offered to text a client and six of them opened Apple Messages, which sent from your personal number and put the reply where the app could not show it. All eight open the client's thread now. The Inbox keeps up on its own. A new text lands in the conversation while you are looking at it, instead of only after a pull to refresh. Double bookings are readable on iPhone. Two overlapping appointments sit side by side instead of one client's name drawing over the other's. A better booking wizard on iPad. A proper date card and a tappable start time with one-tap hourly slots, "Assigned to" works again, and "Book it" is no longer cropped. Number pads across the app have a Done key.
