Per-stylist pricing
Master cuts $60. Apprentice cuts $40. Same service, different prices. The customer sees their stylist's price before they book.
No awkward conversation at the chair, no after-the-fact upcharge.

Booking software
that fits your business
— not the other way around.
For service businesses where the appointment is the product. Configure it once, then your customers book in thirty seconds — on any phone, with your brand, on your own subdomain.
Built for mobile detailing · salons · hair braiding · barbers · cleaning · pet grooming · mobile mechanics · tutoring
No. 01On the matter of fit
A platform that bends.
Most booking software was built for one industry and pretends to serve the rest. Calendars assume haircuts. Pricing assumes a single rate. Forms assume cars.
Splendid Booking was built generically from day one. Configurable intake fields, optional pricing tiers, mobile or fixed location, per-staff pricing and policies, white-label airtight. It is the platform you would build yourself — only you do not have to.
No. 02A roster of trades served
Built for whoever you serve.
Configure the intake fields, pricing, and services to match how you actually work — not how someone in a software office imagined you do.
No. 03Features rendered honestly
The parts that matter.
The stuff competitors gloss over and your day actually depends on. Built because we use this ourselves.
Per-stylist deposit policies
The hair braider takes a deposit. The barber does not. Same shop, same booking page, two correct outcomes.
Salons with mixed policies have always had a workaround problem. They do not anymore.
One-click rebook
Your repeat customers book their usual in one tap. Cart pre-filled, provider pre-selected, contact info already there. They pick a date — that is all.
Six clicks down to two. Across thousands of bookings, that compounds.
Provider calendar sync
Each provider gets a private URL they paste into Google or Apple Calendar. New bookings appear on their phone — automatically.
Staff stop asking the owner "what's my Tuesday?" They look.
Reminders, sent like clockwork
Day-before reminders to your customer. A 6 AM digest of today's roster to you. Maintenance follow-ups three, six, twelve months out. Branded with your name — written without your time.
The no-show rate falls off a cliff after the first week.
Every email your booking page sends — branded as you, written without your time:
Team logins, owner-grade control
Every team member gets their own login: their schedule, their customers, tap-to-call, mark complete — on their phone. You grant each permission individually and revoke any of them with one click, instantly.
Run a crew instead of a salon? Flip one switch and customers book a time while you assign the jobs — new bookings land as UNASSIGNED, you dispatch, your crew member gets the email.
Works both ways: customers pick their stylist, or never see the team at all. Your call.
Flat fee. Any team size.
Booksy charges $20 per staff member per month. Vagaro, $10 per calendar. Fresha, about $15 a seat. A ten-person shop pays them $100–$210 every month before a single booking happens.†
Here, your whole team is included. Solo or fifteen chairs — one number, no per-seat charges, no per-booking transaction fees, no surprise upgrade when you hire.
† Published competitor pricing as of July 2026.

Frequently asked.
Q.01How is this different from Booksy, Fresha, or Square Appointments?+
The big stuff: per-stylist pricing (Booksy fakes it with separate services; we do it right), per-stylist deposit policies (no competitor handles a salon where some staff take deposits and some do not), unlimited team logins at no extra charge (they charge per seat), a dispatch mode for crews where customers book a time and you assign the job (that's Housecall Pro territory — at a fraction of the price), no per-booking fees ever, and your brand is yours — no app-store directory we control. White-label airtight: your customers never see "Splendid Booking" anywhere.
Q.02Do you take a cut of my bookings?+
No. Flat plan, no transaction fees — one monthly number ($30), never a percentage of your revenue.
Q.03Can I migrate from my current platform?+
Yes. Export your customer list from your current platform as a spreadsheet and import it in one click (Contacts → Import CSV) — names, emails, phones come straight over. Services and pricing are quick to set up through admin, and we help your first tenants do it personally.
Q.04Do you handle payments?+
Yes — end to end, through your own Stripe account (a guided one-time setup; the money never passes through ours). Deposit at booking: the customer pays by card before the slot is confirmed; refunds are one click. Balance after the job: email the invoice with a "pay by card" button for whatever's left — it marks itself paid and sends the receipt. Or keep it manual: Venmo, Zelle, CashApp — we surface your instructions at booking and you mark received in admin. Per-provider deposit policies work throughout: the braider requires a deposit, the barber doesn't, same shop.
Q.05Will my customers know I'm using Splendid Booking?+
No. Your subdomain (yourname.splendidbooking.com), your brand color, your logo, your name in confirmation emails. The customer-facing surfaces are 100% yours.
Q.06What if I don't see my industry in the list?+
The platform is built generically — pick "Other" at signup, configure your services and intake questions yourself, and you are live. We have seen mobile bike repair, in-home tutoring, photography sessions, and more shipping on it.
Q.07What about my customer data — who owns it?+
You do. Anytime you want it, hit "Export" in admin and you receive a ZIP with everything: customers, bookings, services, the works. No lock-in, no ransom.
Q.08Do you charge per staff member?+
No — and this is where the industry quietly gets expensive. Booksy is $29.99/mo plus $20 per additional staff member; Vagaro adds $10 per calendar; Fresha's team plan runs about $15 a seat (published pricing, July 2026). A 10-person shop pays them $100–$210 a month before a single customer books. On Splendid Booking your whole team is included in the flat price: every member gets their own login, their own schedule on their phone, their own calendar sync — at ten staff or one.
