Avana

Avana is an online booking system for salons and studios in the Netherlands and Belgium, covering hairdressers, barbershops, nail and beauty salons, lash and brow stylists, massage, tattoo studios, and pilates, yoga and dance studios. Businesses enter their treatments, durations and prices, and Avana generates a booking page with its own QR code that can be shared via an Instagram bio, a counter display or a message. Clients book open slots without installing an app, and the owner manages appointments in the Avana app.

The system sends email and SMS reminders, supports deposits and cancellation rules, and handles payment online via iDEAL or in the salon by card or cash. Other features include a website booking widget, Google Calendar sync, invoices and VAT overviews, client management, review requests, loyalty cards, a waitlist, gift cards, product sales, marketing emails and reporting.

Avana charges a fixed monthly fee with 0% commission on bookings. Optional add-ons include Avana Connect, which answers client DMs with prices, times and a booking button, and Avana Academie for selling courses with certificates. The company offers to migrate treatments, prices and calendars from other systems.
