Planity alternative for salons: booking on your own domain instead of in a marketplace
TerminJet is your own booking system on your own website. No listing next to the salon two streets away, no commission per appointment. And when someone cancels, the system refills the slot automatically from your waitlist.
Your own website instead of a marketplace: TerminJet next to Planity
Planity is an established provider with wide reach through its booking directory. But that is exactly where the difference lies: your clients book inside a platform that also lists other salons. TerminJet runs exclusively on your own domain.

A cancelled colour appointment is no longer lost revenue
In the salon, every gap hurts. A highlights treatment on a Saturday morning that blocks two hours of chair time and gets cancelled 30 minutes before is hard to fill at short notice. TerminJet does it automatically: if someone cancels, a WhatsApp or SMS request goes out instantly to your consented waitlist. Whoever says yes first gets the appointment.
What your salon system should be able to do
Treatments with real durations
Cut, colour, highlights, perm, manicure, facial: every service stored with its real duration and the right staff member.
Staff and chair assignment
Clients book directly with their stylist or neutrally by availability. Buffer and processing times are factored in automatically.
Reminders against no-shows
An automatic reminder by WhatsApp or SMS lowers the risk of someone forgetting the appointment before the chair stays empty.
Your own branding
Your salon's logo, colours and tone. The booking form feels like part of your website, not a foreign platform.
Embeddable booking form
The intake form is embedded into your existing website via iframe and feeds the engine directly with every booking.
GDPR and EU hosting
Data encrypted, hosted at Hetzner in Germany, documented consent for waitlist and reminders.
How the switch feels in daily salon life
The difference between a marketplace listing and your own system shows not in theory, but on a full day.
- Clients find you in a list next to three other salons in the neighbourhood
- A cancellation at 9:30 stays a gap until someone calls by chance
- For every referred appointment, part of the revenue goes to the platform
- Waitlist requests are made by the receptionist by hand between clients
- Clients book directly on your domain, with no competition alongside
- The 9:30 cancellation triggers a waitlist request immediately
- No commission deduction, the revenue stays entirely in the salon
- The refill runs automatically, the team keeps working
We wanted away from the marketplace where our regulars were shown the salon next door. Now they book on our own site, and cancelled slots fill themselves.
This is what booking on your domain looks like
This form is exactly what your clients would see, embedded in your own website. Every booking feeds the engine directly, including waitlist and automatic refilling.
Common questions about the Planity alternative
Is TerminJet a marketplace like Planity or Treatwell?
No. TerminJet is not a directory that lists multiple salons. It runs as your own booking system on your own domain. Clients see only your salon, with no competition alongside.
Do I pay a commission per appointment?
No. TerminJet does not work with a referral fee per booked appointment. You pay for the system and the setup, and the revenue from every appointment stays entirely with you.
What happens with a short-notice cancellation?
The engine automatically sends a request to your consented waitlist by WhatsApp or SMS. Whoever says yes first and fits the slot length gets the appointment. The gap fills without anyone picking up the phone.
Do I have to set up the system myself?
No. Unlike pure self-service, the agency sets up your system: treatments, times, staff, branding and the waitlist rules. On the higher plans we also handle custom adjustments and further development on request.
Can I keep my existing website?
Yes. The booking form is embedded into your existing website via iframe. You do not need a new site, the form blends into your existing design.
Where is my clients' data stored?
On servers in the EU, hosted at Hetzner in Germany. Personal data is encrypted with AES-256, and every contact via the waitlist is based on documented consent.
