Free trial

Try it on a real week of bookings.

Seven days with your own clients, your own services and your own team in it. If it doesn’t fit the way your salon runs, walk away and take your data with you.

  • No card required. Nothing is charged when the trial ends.
  • Unlimited staff on every plan, including the free one.
  • We move your data in. Clients, services and history from your old system.
  • Cancel by email. No notice period, no retention call.

Client booking app

Your clients book from their phone, not your front desk.

Rebooking, cancellations and reminders happen in the app, so your team stops fielding calls mid-blow-dry. On Expert, it ships under your own salon’s name and icon.
