A booking operating system for people who sell time
Hacado exists so you do not have to duct-tape a website, a scheduler, a payment link, and a reminder app - whether you run a studio, a practice, lessons, or a small team.
It began with one nail studio
I started Hacado because my wife opened her own nail studio and needed a website, a booking system, and tools she could actually shape - not a generic link and a pile of apps.
It grew from a very small project that simply took her calendar and showed available times to people. Then the business asked for more, so the product did too: deposits when people started not showing up; a website builder when there was real content to publish; cancellation and reschedule flows - policies, refunds, deposit forfeiture - when people started canceling and moving appointments.
That origin is a studio. The product is not a beauty-only tool. Anyone who sells time hits the same problems: a public page, a truthful calendar, reminders, money rules, and a client list you actually own.
Who we build for
The first customer was a nail studio. We still care deeply about chairs and fills. We also build for coaches, clinics, tutors, multi-person teams, and people launching without a website. If the work is appointments, Hacado is in scope.
Independent practitioners
One person, a book, and a site that looks like the work - nails, hair, tattoo, lash, wellness, or a practice that does not have a front desk.
Studios, salons, and clinics
Several people, several hours, one public brand. Clients pick a favorite or the next opening. The list stays in the workspace.
Coaches and consultants
More than a Calendly link: pages, deposits, Zoom or Meet, and packages of sessions on your domain.
Tutors and freelancers
Lesson types, a page parents can bookmark, calendar sync with a day job or school timetable, prepaid packs when invoicing gets old.
Small teams
Studio seats, roles, and a calendar per person - without buying a marketplace or a 40-feature salon suite on week one.
Anyone opening a book from zero
Hosting, scheduling, and email in one admin. Payments, gift cards, and extra people when the calendar actually fills.
Come build your book
Free to start. We would rather you try it on a real week, not a demo that never books.
