The pain
Salons are a quiet scheduling nightmare. Some stylists are W-2, some are booth rentals, each one has their own client book, and Saturday is the shift that decides the week. You can't afford a no-show, and you can't afford to spend Thursday night on a group chat trying to confirm who's in.
Meanwhile, every "salon software" you've tried is either a booking engine with scheduling bolted on, or an HR platform that requires every stylist to download an app and create an account.
The Convey approach
Build the week in a grid. Tell Convey which stylists are on which days, which chairs are booked, who's off. Or let the AI draft it from your constraints. Publish, and every stylist gets their schedule as a text link. They tap, bookmark, done. No install.
Call-outs are handled the same way as everywhere else: Convey reads the text, finds a ranked replacement, offers the shift, and confirms when someone accepts. You get one notification at the end.
A realistic Saturday
9:04am — Taylor: "kid is sick, can't come in today"
9:04am — Convey marks Taylor out, ranks stylists
9:05am — Offers to Jordan (Saturday open, cleared for cuts)
9:11am — Jordan: "yes, can be there by 10"
9:11am — Everyone confirmed, chair reassigned
