Run a walk-in beauty salon in Canberra and your busiest hours quietly cost you the most. During the brows-waxing-facial peak, a packed reception makes new walk-ins assume it's an hour's wait and leave. NowServing is the live wait-time display for beauty salons: it shows your real wait, lets someone in for brows, waxing or a facial join the line from their phone, and buzzes them the moment it's their turn. Canberra's lunch-hour rush is brutal on walk-in shops; a virtual line spreads it out.

Name in, and they see their spot and an honest ETA built from your real therapist times.
A "you're up" ping (plus a ~15-min heads-up) brings them back the moment you're ready.
Clients hold their spot from their phone instead of hovering at the desk.
They come back exactly when it's their turn — you capture the trade you were losing.
A friendly review ask fires after every appointment, lifting you on local search.
The reason beauty salons stick with it: on any paid plan, the customer's phone gets an automatic "you're up" buzz the second it's their turn, plus a "~15 minutes to go" heads-up. It's free web-push — no SMS, no per-text cost, and no app to download — and it works on Android and iPhone. That's what turns a glance-and-leave into a come-back-and-buy.
Does it work for a small Canberra beauty salon?
Yes — one therapist or six, it's the same one-line setup. Most shops are live the same afternoon.
Do my clients need an app?
No. It's a web link they open from your QR, bio or website. Nothing to install, for you or them.
What does it cost?
Free to start (live wait + review link). The Regular — which adds the auto-notify and review engine — is from $49/mo billed yearly (2 months free), or $59 monthly. Cancel anytime.
