Best Free Booking Apps for Salons in Lebanon (2027)

Many salon owners in Lebanon start by searching for a free booking app. That makes sense: you want to try online booking before you pay for anything. But "free" means very different things from one app to the next. Some apps are free for one person only. Some send reminders by email only. Some are free to start but take a fee when a new client books through their marketplace.

This guide compares the free options salons in Lebanon actually look at, and what each one leaves out. We make Hjezle, so we include it too, with its real terms: it is free for 14 days, then paid.

Prices and plans change often. We checked each company's own pricing page in November 2027 where we could. Always check the current page before you decide.

What a salon in Lebanon needs from a booking app

Before you compare apps, write down what your salon needs. For most salons in Lebanon, it is this list:

• WhatsApp reminders. Your clients read WhatsApp, not email. A reminder they never open does not stop a no-show.
• More than one staff member. Clients want to choose their stylist, and each stylist has different hours and services.
• Your own page. Clients should book on a page with your name and logo, not in a marketplace next to the salon down the street.
• Arabic and English. Many clients prefer Arabic. The booking page should work in both.
• Help in your time zone. When something goes wrong on a Saturday morning, you need a fast answer.

Keep this list next to you as you read.

Setmore

Setmore has a real free plan. On its pricing page, the Free plan allows up to 4 users and unlimited appointments.

What the free plan leaves out:

• Reminders are by email only, and you can send one reminder per booking. SMS reminders are on the paid Pro plan. WhatsApp is not mentioned.
• Setmore branding stays on your booking page.
• No deposits, no recurring appointments and no two-way calendar sync on the free plan.

Good for: a small salon of up to 4 people whose clients read email.

Calendly

Calendly is popular for meetings, and its free plan is simple. On its pricing page, the Free plan includes one event type and one calendar connection.

What the free plan leaves out:

• No automated reminders on the free plan.
• No payments.
• It is built for meetings, not salons. There is no natural way for a client to pick a service, then a named stylist with their own hours.

Good for: a consultant or coach who books one kind of meeting.

Square Appointments

Square Appointments has a free plan for a single location. The catch for Lebanon is availability: Square runs in a short list of countries (such as the US, Canada, the UK and Australia), and Lebanon and the Gulf are not among them. Its paid plans depend on Square card processing, which is also not available here.

Good for: salons in the countries where Square works. Not a practical choice in Lebanon.

Fresha

Fresha is known for salons and has a large marketplace of clients. Its pricing has changed over the last two years, and third-party sites now disagree about what is free. Fresha's own pricing page mentions a monthly subscription for teams and says you are not charged for new clients who find you through your own website, Instagram or Facebook. That means a fee can apply when new clients come through the Fresha marketplace.

Good for: salons that want clients from the Fresha marketplace and are happy with its fees. Check Fresha's current pricing page for your country before you sign up.

Google Calendar appointment schedules

If you already use Google Calendar, you can make a simple booking page for free. It works well for one person who offers one kind of appointment. It is not built for a salon menu with many services, durations and staff.

Good for: a freelancer who wants the simplest possible booking link.

Hjezle

Hjezle is booking software built for salons, clinics and gyms in Lebanon and the Gulf. It is not free forever. Here are the honest terms:

• Free for 14 days, with every feature included.
• The free trial needs a card. Nothing is charged until day 14, and if you cancel before then, you pay nothing.
• In Lebanon you can also pay by Whish transfer instead of a card. That option starts as a paid plan, without the free trial.

What you get, in the trial and after it:

• Your own booking page at yourbusiness.hjezle.com, with your logo and photos. Clients only see times that are really free.
• WhatsApp confirmations and reminders sent from your own business number, with a link to cancel so the slot opens again.
• A schedule for every staff member: their own hours, breaks and services. Clients can choose who they book with.
• Packages and memberships, with sessions counted for each client.
• Arabic and English, with full right-to-left Arabic.
• No commission on bookings.
• Help on WhatsApp, in Arabic and English. Send us a photo of your price list and we add your services for you.

Good for: salons in Lebanon and the Gulf with more than one staff member whose clients live on WhatsApp.

Quick comparison

So which one should you choose?

• You work alone and your clients read email: a free plan like Setmore's or Google Calendar's may be all you need.
• You want clients from a marketplace: look at Fresha, and read its current fees carefully.
• You have a team, your clients use WhatsApp, and you want your own page in Arabic and English: try Hjezle free for 14 days and see if it fits.

Whatever you choose, test it the way your clients will use it: book an appointment from your phone, in Arabic, and check where the reminder arrives.
