Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

StudioSlot is free, WordPress-native appointment booking for salons, spas, barbers, nail artists, estheticians, massage therapists, and independent beauty professionals. Add unlimited services and staff, let clients choose a professional and open time from a mobile-friendly form, and manage every request from WordPress.

Set it up in minutes:

  • Add your services (“Haircut & Style”, “60-Minute Massage”, “Full Set + Gel”)
  • Add yourself and your staff, and choose which services each person performs
  • Set your business hours
  • Put [studioslot] on your Book Now page

Your clients pick a service, choose their favorite professional, tap an open time, and send a request. You confirm it from your WordPress dashboard — or turn on auto-confirm and skip that step entirely.

Free features

  • Unlimited services, staff, and appointments
  • Double-booking prevention built in
  • Email notices to you, your staff, and your clients
  • Minimum-notice and how-far-ahead booking limits
  • Clean, mobile-first booking form that inherits your theme’s style
  • Pending / confirmed / declined / cancelled workflow
  • No account required for your clients — name, email, phone, done
  • Clients pick a service and a professional, then an open time
  • One shortcode: [studioslot]
  • Working solo is fine — add yourself as the only staff member

Also worth knowing

1 does not include payments, calendar sync, SMS, or importing. The separate StudioSlot Pro add-on is available for staff schedules, private appointment notes, and optional email reminders. Free remains usable without Pro.

Who it’s for

Hair stylists and barbers, nail artists, estheticians and skin specialists, massage therapists, lash and brow studios, and any solo beauty professional or small salon that wants simple online booking without monthly fees.

1. It does not provide card checkout, calendar sync, or a data importer from another booking plugin. Install it, add your services and staff, and put [studioslot] on a page.
