Square Go feature for Salons hosting Stylist

[BostonHairnista]

Greetings,

I would love if this feature could be added to Square Go. I didn't see that as an options so the closest category to it is Square Appointments. Booth Rental Salons would benefit from Square Go having a side that matches stylist to available salons that have chairs available.

Use Case:

Just as clients are able to find stylist and their services on the Square Go Marketplace, I think it would be beneficial if independent stylist could find salons that have available chairs to use for the day or a private suite to use for a day or two.

Salon owners can list their available chairs and stylist can book them on the Square Go app. Salons can choose to have a client side of square go where they market services, then switch to a professional side where they market chairs and suites. There are so many stylist that are currently using square so it would be a smooth connection if that feature is added. 

Many salons offer day rentals (me included) and I would love to find an automated way for stylist to book my chairs for as many days as they need.

I would also like to keep all of my revenue reporting in one place so it would helpful to have my chair rentals go through a marketplace like Square Go. Stylist AND Clients on the Go!! 🙂

example: Airbnb has a host side and a traveler side. This is the same concept for Square Go.

There is an app that does this exact thing. Its called ShearShare

@LusterSalon I have that app. There's not much activity on there for stylist. I think with so many stylist using square for processing already, there would be a lot more traffic. I've had shearshare for years and only got 1 stylist from it.

I think this app is still trying to get their footing. Of course it takes people using it for it to work. I think social media groups probably get more traffic for things like that. I see it where I’m at, salons post in city groups saying they have a chair open, etc. 

With Square being a card processing co at its core, I doubt they’d venture into this. They are more consumer to business, not business to business.

@LusterSalon The stylist is the consumer in this case.
