Platform

You run the studio. Parlor runs everything else.

Powerful modules designed to replace disconnected tools. Built specifically for tattoo and beauty studios by people who live and breathe the industry.

01 — Lead pipeline

Never lose a lead again

Every enquiry — whether it comes from Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, your website forms, email, SMS, or a walk-in — lands in one visual pipeline. Parlor can auto-create leads from incoming messages and routes them to the right artist. Drag leads between custom stages, let automations handle the follow-ups, and watch your conversion rate climb.

  • Fully customisable pipeline stages (drag-and-drop kanban)
  • Auto-import from Instagram DMs, Facebook, email, SMS & web forms
  • Smart duplicate detection with side-by-side merge
  • Returning client detection — threads new messages to existing profiles
  • Lead source tracking (Instagram, website, referral, walk-in, etc.)
  • Assign to artists, tag leads, track lost reasons
  • Conversion funnel reporting with win/loss analytics
  • Infinite scroll — handles thousands of leads without slowing down

02 — Smart booking

Bookings on autopilot

Your own branded booking page where clients pick a service, choose their artist, select a time, and pay a deposit — before you lift a finger. Parlor handles confirmations, reminders, no-show protection, and even pending cancellations automatically.

  • Branded public booking page with your studio's look and feel
  • Stripe deposit collection (flat or tiered by booking value)
  • Multi-service bookings with service groups
  • Busy periods (one-off + recurring: daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly)
  • Automated deposit reminders (standard, urgent, and custom schedules)
  • Pending cancellation — auto-cancels if deposit not paid within 24h
  • Walk-in, phone, email, SMS, and Instagram booking sources
  • GetTimely sync — bi-directional calendar import for easy migration

03 — Unified inbox

Every message, one inbox

Stop switching between Instagram, email, and your phone. Parlor pulls every client conversation — Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, email (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), and SMS — into a single thread per client. Reply from multiple channels without leaving the app.

  • Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger synced via Meta API
  • Email via Nylas (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, IMAP)
  • Two-way SMS with smart auto-replies ("Y" to confirm, "STOP" to unsubscribe)
  • Internal notes and @mentions your team can see, clients can't
  • Message templates with {{placeholders}} for personalisation
  • File attachments, reference photos, and email open tracking
  • Mark answered / unread filtering with client read receipts
  • Smart deduplication — messages never double up across channels
  • Voice-to-text — tap the mic to dictate messages with live transcription

05 — Staff management

Your team, organised

Each artist gets their own profile, avatar, schedule, services list, and lead assignments. Roles control what everyone can see — from owner-level oversight to artist-only views. Notification preferences let each team member choose what they get pinged about.

  • Individual artist profiles with avatar, bio, and custom display order
  • Roles: owner, manager, artist, admin — each with tailored access
  • Roster management with drag-and-drop reordering
  • Per-artist services and pricing (different rates per artist)
  • Configurable notifications (new leads, quotes, bookings)
  • Internal team chat with @mentions across notes and messages
  • Archive and restore staff — no data lost when someone leaves

07 — Workflow automations

Set it once, let Parlor do the rest

Build visual automations that fire when things happen — a form is submitted, a booking is created, a deposit goes unpaid, or a lead changes stage. Chain together emails, SMS messages, Instagram DMs, tags, stage moves, notes, and delays into workflows that run while you sleep. Or describe what you want in plain English to get a starting point.

  • Visual drag-and-drop workflow builder
  • AI workflow generator — describe what you want, get a complete workflow
  • Triggers: form submitted, booking created, deposit unpaid, tag added, stage changed
  • Conditional logic — branch workflows based on form field answers
  • Actions: send email, SMS, Instagram DM, Facebook message
  • Actions: add tag, move pipeline stage, create internal note
  • Configurable delays (hours or days between steps)
  • Step-by-step execution logs — see exactly what ran and when
  • Appointment reminder automations (configurable hours before)

  • Quote lifecycle: draft → sent → accepted → booked
  • Pricing breakdown per service with deposit calculation
  • Quote request intake forms (public URL)
  • Email and SMS templates with {{placeholders}}

  • Public waitlist signup page

12 — Integrations

Connects to everything your studio already uses

Parlor isn't a walled garden. It plugs into the tools you already rely on — pulling data in and pushing actions out — so you never have to copy-paste between systems again.

Instagram
DM sync via Meta API. Messages create or thread to a lead. Reply without leaving Parlor. Story mentions and comments also synced.
Facebook Messenger
Page-level Messenger sync. Messages from your Facebook Business page land in the same unified inbox alongside Instagram and email.
Stripe
Deposit collection and payment processing. Tiered deposits based on booking value. Money goes directly to your Stripe account — Parlor never holds your funds.
Email (Google & Microsoft)
Connect Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or any IMAP provider via Nylas. Inbound emails auto-create leads. Outbound emails with open tracking and attachments.
SMS (Twilio)
Two-way SMS with smart auto-replies. "Y" confirms next booking, "STOP" unsubscribes. Deposit reminders, confirmations, and consent form delivery via text.
GetTimely
Bi-directional sync for studios migrating from Timely. Imports bookings, services, staff, customers, and products. Your calendar stays in sync during transition.

Plus: JotForm import, iCal feeds, webhook API for custom integrations, and more planned. Built with extensibility in mind.

13 — AI assistant

  • Interactive guided walkthroughs for every feature
