Services · Ecommerce development · Beauty salon booking sites
Codeeo builds booking and payment websites for women's salons, nail and lash bars and beauty centres in Riyadh. A client picks a branch, a service and a specialist, sees real free times, pays a deposit with mada, Apple Pay or STC Pay, and gets a reminder before she leaves home. For a city where a booking often means a long drive across town, a confirmed and paid slot is worth far more than a direct message that may never turn into a visit.
Part of our team works from Riyadh, so we can sit with your reception staff, watch how bookings arrive today and design the website around that. The site runs Arabic first, issues ZATCA compliant invoices and belongs to you, not to a marketplace that takes a cut of every appointment and keeps your client list.

What the booking site can include
Many Riyadh salons still take bookings through Instagram, Snapchat and WhatsApp messages. That works until the evening rush, when replies slow down, two clients are promised the same stylist and nobody remembers who paid what. A booking website replaces that thread with a calendar that only offers times you can really serve, a payment step that holds the slot, and an admin your receptionists can run from a tablet at the front desk.
Our beauty salon online booking system development in Riyadh starts from your service menu, because durations, processing times and the staff qualified for each treatment decide everything the calendar can offer. We then add payments, reminders and invoicing in the order your salon needs them, so the first release is useful on day one and the rest follows without rebuilding.
Each service carries its own time, a buffer for cleaning and, for colour, a processing gap where the stylist can take another short client. Add-ons such as a gloss or a nail art upgrade extend the slot automatically, so the calendar never squeezes a long treatment into a short gap.
The diary reflects how long work really takes in your salon.
Clients choose a branch in Al Malqa, Al Yasmin or Olaya, then a named specialist or the first available one. Each branch keeps its own hours, holidays and staff, and the site remembers a regular's usual branch so she books again in two taps. Branch pages also show parking and entrance details, which matters for clients arriving after dark.
Clients book the branch that suits their drive, not the one with the loudest Instagram.
Payment runs through a SAMA licensed gateway that supports mada cards, Apple Pay and STC Pay. You decide which services need a deposit, which need full payment and which can be paid at the salon, and the rule shows clearly before the client confirms.
Long and premium appointments are secured before the stylist's time is set aside.
The site applies your cancellation window, moves a booking without a second payment when the client reschedules in time, and sends refunds back to the original card from the admin. Every change is logged with the staff member who made it.
Fewer arguments at the desk about who cancelled when.
For treatment courses, bridal packages and prepaid bundles, Tabby or Tamara can sit next to card payment so a client spreads the cost. The salon is paid by the provider, and the package balance tracks each visit as it is used.
Higher value packages become easier to sell online.
Some services need a private room, a pedicure chair or a specific machine as well as a person. The calendar books both together, so two therapists are never booked into the one room on a busy Thursday evening.
No double booked rooms or equipment.
Confirmations and reminders go out by WhatsApp, SMS or email in Arabic or English, using approved message templates. A reminder can carry a one tap link to confirm, move or cancel, which frees the slot early enough for someone on the waiting list.
Empty chairs are filled instead of discovered at the last minute.
Opening hours shift sharply in Ramadan, when many salons trade late into the night, and again before Eid and around Riyadh Season events. The admin lets you publish a seasonal timetable in advance, with different slot lengths and staff rotas, then return to normal hours automatically on the date you set. Gift cards for Eid can go on sale in the same step.
Seasonal demand is captured without rebuilding the calendar by hand.
Each paid booking produces a tax invoice that follows ZATCA e-invoicing rules, with VAT shown correctly and the QR code in place. We connect to your accounting or e-invoicing solution so receipts do not need typing twice.
Online income and invoices match without a monthly reconciliation scramble.
Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram profiles link to a service page, not a home page, and tracking shows which post or campaign produced each paid booking. Consent for analytics and marketing cookies is asked for in plain Arabic.

Who this is for
Every salon thinks its booking problem is unique, and in detail it usually is. In outline, though, Riyadh owners tend to come to us from one of four positions. Each needs a different first release, which is why we ask how your week runs before we suggest any features. A studio that lives on Instagram needs speed and a clean payment step; a group with five branches needs permissions, reporting and staff who can be booked at more than one location. Getting that order right is what keeps the first version small enough to launch and useful enough to keep.
You have a loyal following, a strong Instagram and a receptionist who spends the evening answering the same three questions. A booking site with your full menu, live availability and deposits takes most of that load. We keep the look of the site close to your feed, so clients feel they are still dealing with the same studio.
Usually the quickest win.
Different branches, different managers and a head office that wants one view of bookings and takings. We build one site with branch level calendars, prices that can differ by location where you want them to, and reports that compare branches by week. Staff who move between branches keep one profile. Head office can change a service price once and push it to every branch, or let a flagship branch in Olaya charge differently from a newer one in the east of the city.
Branch permissions matter more than design here.
Facials, body treatments and hair removal tie up rooms and machines as well as therapists. The booking engine must plan around all three. We also add consultation steps and intake questions, so a therapist knows about sensitivities before the client arrives.
Resource scheduling is the core of this build.
A missed three hour colour appointment is a lost evening for a senior stylist. We set deposits by service and stylist level, a clear cancellation window and a waiting list that offers the freed slot to the next client automatically.
Deposits pay for the site faster than anything else.
How we work together
Most salons start with a fixed scope build for the booking site, then keep a monthly retainer for updates, seasonal menus and new branches. Larger groups that are building their own platform sometimes take a dedicated team instead. Because part of our team is in Riyadh, workshops, training sessions and launch day support can happen at your salon, while day to day work continues by call and shared project boards. Whichever model you choose, you see the same things: a written scope, a staging site you can test on your own phone, and a named contact who answers when a branch manager has a question.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We choose the stack after discovery. A smaller salon may suit WordPress with a proven booking engine, while a group with complex rules often needs a custom build on Laravel or Next.js. Either way, hosting and data location are agreed with you against PDPL requirements.

It depends on branches, services and integrations, and we fix the plan in writing after discovery.
A single studio with one calendar and card deposits is a much smaller build than a group with shared staff, rooms, packages and an accounting link. The slowest parts are often outside the code: gateway approval, merchant account setup and gathering accurate service data. We map these at the start so the dates we agree with you allow for them.
For a group, we usually launch one branch first and add the rest in planned steps, which spreads the training load on your staff.
