Build rotas around the appointment book for every chair and room.
A salon or spa rota only works when it follows the bookings. ShiftGuard lets you build rotas around your appointment book, so hairstylists, barbers, beauty and spa therapists, nail technicians, and receptionists are rostered exactly when clients are coming in. Plan around each person's availability, contracted hours, and skills, and keep your busiest periods, late nights and weekends properly covered. With demand and staffing side by side, you can put the right people on the right appointments and get more out of every chair and treatment room - no empty stations, no overbooked diary. Whether you run one salon or several, our salon rota software keeps every site staffed to the bookings without the spreadsheet juggling.
Track attendance & lateness
so no client is left waiting.
When a client arrives for a colour, a cut, or a treatment, the last thing they want to hear is that their stylist or therapist hasn't turned up. With ShiftGuard, your team clocks in on-site, so you can see attendance in real time and know who is in, who is running late, and who hasn't arrived yet. The front desk gets that visibility the moment a shift should start, so receptionists can rebook, reassign, or give a waiting client a heads-up before it turns into a complaint. Every clock-in and clock-out is time-stamped and stored, so you have a clear attendance record for each appointment-led day. Your bookings stay on time, the client experience holds up, and no chair sits idle while someone is unaccounted for.
Manage holidays & shift swaps around your bookings.
Salon and spa teams are rarely nine-to-five. You're coordinating part-time stylists, commission-based therapists, and chair or room renters who all have their own regulars and working patterns. ShiftGuard makes holidays and shift swaps simple to manage around the appointment book. Staff request annual leave through the app, and before you approve it you can see who is already off - so you never accidentally leave a busy Saturday short. When someone needs to swap a shift or cover a colleague, it's all handled in the app with full visibility, instead of across endless group chats. For commission-based and part-time teams, that means hours get shared fairly and clients can still book in with the stylist or therapist they trust, even when the rota changes.
