What it does

Services with real times and prices

Photos, minutes with the client plus processing and finishing time, gaps before or after, fixed or “from” prices, and a different time and price for particular stylists.

Your team’s calendars and group bookings

Each stylist has their own hours, breaks, days off and gaps, and only truly free times are offered. Several people can book the same visit, such as a bride and her bridesmaids, each with their own treatment and stylist, with one deposit for the group.

Patch tests, reminders and changes

Services can need a patch test: if a client hasn’t had one, a free test is booked at least 48 hours before. Clients get reminders and a link to move or cancel.

Deposits, vouchers and loyalty (Pro)

Take a deposit when clients book, through Stripe directly or the WooCommerce checkout. Sell gift vouchers and packages, and give a loyalty stamp card.

The diary and client records

A diary with a column per stylist, client records with visits, patch-test dates and notes, and Stylist and Reception roles that see only what they need.

Four designs and real photos

Blush, Barbershop, Studio and Luxe, each with seven colour palettes, and sample photos from Pexels with the photographers credited.

One payment, a lifetime licence and every future update. Each tier includes everything in the one before.

Questions

Can clients pay a deposit when they book?
Yes, on Pro. Set a fixed amount, a percentage or the full price per service. The client pays on a secure card page through Stripe directly or the WooCommerce checkout, and the time is held while they pay. When a client cancels in time, the deposit is refunded or kept according to your setting. Bookings without a deposit don’t need payment.
Can several people book together?
Yes. “Coming with others?” on the booking form adds each person with their own treatment and stylist (or anyone), up to the number you set (six to start with). Everyone is booked at the same time or not at all: if one stylist isn’t free, the form says who and offers the free times that day. Each person gets an ordinary appointment in the diary, one deposit covers the group, and one email lists everyone. Group bookings need Gradespace Core 0.8.0 or later.
How do patch tests work?
Tick “Needs a patch test” on a service. When booking, clients say whether they’ve had one recently; if not, the website books a free patch test with the same stylist at least 48 hours before, and refuses the booking when there isn’t time. A reminder goes out about two days before.
Does it sell products and gift vouchers?
Products sell through the free WooCommerce plugin, with collection in the salon. Gift vouchers (Pro, with online payments on) can be bought online for an amount or a named treatment, taken in the salon, and used towards a deposit.
Where are client records kept?
In your own WordPress database, on your own hosting. Records come up for review after the period you choose and nothing is deleted automatically; WordPress’s personal data export and erase tools include them. Our server only sees your licence key and website address.
Is it a one-off payment?
Yes. You pay once, the licence lasts for life and every future update is included. There are no renewals or subscriptions.
What do I need to run it?
A WordPress website (6.8 or later, PHP 8.0 or later) on any ordinary host. You install the free Gradespace Core plugin, the kit’s plugin and its theme, then the setup wizard walks you through the rest.
What counts as a website?
One licence covers one live website (Agency covers 5). Local and staging copies (localhost, .local, .test, staging.… and dev.… addresses) are free and never use up your licence.
Can you install it for me?
Yes. Done-for-you installation is from £99: we install Gradespace Core, the kit and its theme on your hosting, activate your licence, run the setup wizard with your details and hand it over with a short walkthrough. Complete setup and customisation, from £299, adds your content, bookings, forms and emails, small design tweaks, redirects from your old site, a staff training session and 30 days of help after launch. The price depends on your hosting and the size of the site, and is agreed before we start. Prices include VAT where it applies, and the kit licence is bought separately. Ask for a quote on our contact page.
Can I change the design later?
Yes. Choose a different design and colour palette in Site Settings → Design & colours at any time; your content stays as it is. You can preview a choice privately before visitors see it.
How do updates work?
Updates come from thegradespace.com and install with one click from the WordPress Updates screen. Each release is tested against the current version of WordPress first, and says which version it’s tested up to.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Move from Starter to Pro or Agency by paying the difference, from your licences page or from the kit’s Licence tab in WordPress. Your key stays the same.
Refunds
14-day money-back: if the kit isn't right for you, ask within 14 days of buying for a full refund (the licence is then switched off).
