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

1.5.0

August 14, 2026

Faster, steadier payments, plus a set of fixes from behind the counter. The first charge of the morning no longer wedges. The reader screen could sit on "Looking for your reader..." with no button and no way out except force-quitting. Both the counter reader and Tap to Pay now give up on their own and hand you a button instead of a spinner. A custom amount now asks for a tip. Ringing up a custom charge went straight to the card with no tip screen. Custom work counts toward the tip the same way a service does. Retail still does not. A reader software update no longer ends the sale. When the reader starts a required update mid-charge, you can send a payment link or charge a card on file instead, and you can see how long the update expects to take. Canceled visits clear out of your own calendar. Canceling from the web dashboard or a second phone used to leave the entry sitting in your personal Calendar app, showing a client who was not coming. Mark done on the home screen widget works. It used to animate and then do nothing. On a shared iPad, offline sales sync back to the artist who rang them up, so takings always land in the right account. Also in this release: quicker card connections when you open a visit, larger tap targets on iPad, and a more accurate subtotal on receipts.
