Capture service and stylist
Required: service (cut / colour / highlights / balayage / treatment), stylist (if multi-chair), preferred date and time window. Optional: hair length and last service date for colour clients.
Form template · Salon / barber appointment
A salon's booking software (Vagaro, Booksy, Square) costs $25-50/month. For a small shop or a single-stylist site, a contact form with stylist, service, and date works for free.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Salon Contact Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Salon Contact Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
To add a Salon Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Required: service (cut / colour / highlights / balayage / treatment), stylist (if multi-chair), preferred date and time window. Optional: hair length and last service date for colour clients.
Webhook to Twilio — the stylist gets a text with the request and replies 'yes' or suggests an alternate. Customer's confirmation arrives via SMS too.
Returning clients fill the same form with notes ('the usual'). Stylist recognises the name and pulls their card. Cleaner than DMs on Instagram.
What's included
Salons live and die on rebookings, but a single-chair shop or a new stylist building book often can't justify $50/month for Vagaro. A contact form with stylist, service, and preferred date captures the booking request, the stylist confirms via text within the hour, and the appointment goes on the calendar. For shops with established booking software, the form is still useful for new clients who don't have an account — it's the on-ramp before they're in the system.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
If you're full and need real scheduling, use Vagaro. If you're new, a single-chair shop, or just hate the $50/month, the form-to-text workflow handles 80% of bookings. Many stylists run both — Vagaro for repeat clients, the form for new-website inquiries.
Not without an integration — calendar sync needs Vagaro / Square / Cal.com. The simpler pattern is 'tell us your preferred time, we'll confirm or suggest the next slot' which works for free.
Use the file-upload variant — Pro feature. Customers attach a hair photo and the goal photo. Stylist quotes accurately before the appointment, no surprise upcharges.
Yes, exactly. Most stylists currently book via Instagram DM, which is chaotic and unsearchable. A form on a one-page site with the same fields lives forever and shows up in Google.
