About
Hora was born from a simple idea: running a salon should be easier. Here's the story behind it, and the person building it.
Why I built Hora
It started close to home. My girlfriend runs a lash salon, and I watched how much of her week disappeared into booking admin: messages, calls and crossed-out appointments in a notebook. I wanted to give her that time back, so she could focus on what actually matters, her clients and her craft.
Then it hit me that she wasn't alone. Too many salons still lose hours every month writing appointments down with a pen in a notebook, and while there are plenty of booking apps, few genuinely care: most are too complicated, too expensive, or built without understanding how a salon actually works day to day.
So I built Hora, first for her, and now for every salon fighting the same thing. The tool I'd want to use myself: simple, fair, and made to deliver real value instead of just another subscription. The goal is straightforward: let salons spend more time with clients and less with a notebook.
Our mission
I believe a good tool should work for you, not the other way around. Hora is guided by a few simple principles:
Simple
Set up in minutes, no manual and no meetings. If you need instructions to use it, we haven't done our job.
Fair
Transparent pricing you see upfront and a free way to start. No hidden costs and no contracts that tie you down.
You're in control
Your brand, your calendar, your rules. You approve every booking, and Hora just works in the background.
Real value
Every feature has to save a salon time or bring in a booking. If it doesn't, it doesn't ship.
Behind Hora
Hora is a one-person effort: I design, build and support it myself. That means every decision is driven by what's best for the salons using it, not investors or deadlines. When you reach out, you reach me.
Built in Croatia
Hora is built in Vrbovec, for Croatian salons. The interface and support are available in Croatian and English, and the product is shaped around how salons here actually work. Have a question or an idea? Write to me at info@hora-booking.com. I read every message.
