Running a beauty business shouldn’t feel like juggling calendars, chats, and constant chaos. Yet that’s how many professionals live when using complicated or overpriced booking platforms.
If you’ve ever felt that your booking app costs more than it helps — it’s time to meet Avrora.app, a modern, affordable alternative designed specifically for beauty professionals.
Avrora isn’t just another booking tool — it’s your AI-powered salon manager, your personal assistant, and your digital receptionist, all in one sleek mobile app.
Here is our short intro for Arora app :-) :
Why expensive booking apps aren’t worth it anymore
Let’s be honest: many salon platforms promise to “simplify your business,” but then drown you in hidden fees, confusing dashboards, and constant subscription upgrades.
Most beauty pros only need a few things:
Clients to book easily, anytime.
Automatic reminders so no-shows disappear.
A simple way to track the schedule and revenue.
Yet traditional booking apps often charge you extra just for these basics. Some even take a percentage from each booking. That’s insane when you’re running a small salon or working as a solo artist.
Avrora changes that.
What makes Avrora.app different
1. Simple, clean, and made for beauty Forget messy dashboards. Avrora looks and feels like it was designed by someone who actually does lashes, nails, or hair — because it was. The interface is calm, minimal, and intuitive.
2. Online booking 24/7 Your clients can book through your personal link even while you sleep. No DMs, no calls, no “are you free tomorrow?” messages. Just instant booking.
3. Smart AI AssistantAvrora’s built-in assistant chats with your clients automatically, answers questions, and confirms bookings in seconds. It knows your schedule, prices, and services — and never takes a day off.
4. Automatic reminders & confirmationsNo more missed appointments. Clients get gentle reminders before their visit, keeping your schedule full and predictable.
5. Affordable pricing Most apps charge $30–$50 per month. Avrora gives you the same power for a fraction of that — or even free while you test it.
