When a notebook is the right choice
Let's be honest: if you work alone, have few clients, nearly all of them regulars, and they mostly book by phone, a notebook works. There's no need to switch for the sake of “going digital”. It's worth thinking about switching when:
1
two or more people keep the bookings, and the same time starts getting “sold” twice;
2
you often answer Direct late in the evening, or in the morning find messages it's already too late to answer;
3
the day before, you spend time on reminder calls and messages;
4
clients look for you on Google and can't find where to book.
People are already looking for you on Google

Google Search Console, 30.08–18.10.2026
Bronjoy is a catalog of salons, clinics and services in Uzbekistan, with about 24,000 businesses. Figures from Google Search Console: from 30 August to 18 October 2026, business pages were shown in search 52,500 times and got 818 clicks. Almost all of those clicks came from people searching for a specific business by name. The page of one massage salon in Samarkand that isn't connected yet got 200 impressions and 6 clicks. If your salon is in the catalog, people like that already come to its page. Until the page is connected, they can't book on it — they can only call.
A new page is created instantly. To claim an existing one you need a business document; the check takes up to 1 working day.

Add your services, prices and stylists.
You can send a photo of your price list on Telegram, and we'll help enter it.
3
Put the link in your Instagram bio and the QR on the front desk.
Don't throw the notebook away yet: for the first weeks it's handy to keep both while your regulars get used to it.
You don't need to copy old clients over from the notebook: the client base builds itself as people book online.
What it costs
The Spark plan is free forever: unlimited stylists, 0% commission, no card needed. Avtopilot costs 149,000 sum per month and gives you your own Telegram bot with your salon's name, a page without the Bronjoy mark and an AI assistant for the owner.
Some clients will keep writing, and that's fine. The booking link is for those who write at night, don't like chatting, or find you on Google. You can enter bookings from Direct into the same calendar yourself, and then the whole schedule is in one place.
No. On the website the client picks a time and confirms the booking with a code from an e-mail. In Telegram they book through @bronjoy_bot without a code.
Bookings are stored on the server, not on your phone, so nothing gets lost. When the connection comes back you'll see everything that arrived in the meantime, and the Telegram notifications will come through too.
You can create a page in a few minutes. Entering your price list and stylists usually takes an evening. If your salon is already in the catalog, add up to one working day for the document check.
The Spark plan is free forever and needs no card. A new page is created instantly, and if your salon is already in the catalog, we check the document within 1 working day.
