A booking system on your own website costs £2,500 plus £150 a month (Website + booking: clients book themselves, AI assistant books 24/7, no deposits) or £3,500 plus £250 a month (Team salon: card and Klarna deposits at booking, team rota, vouchers, courses). Both have 0% commission, no per-staff fees and a first month free.
Website + booking or Team salon?
It depends on one question: do you want to take money at the moment of booking?
| Website + booking | Team salon | |
|---|---|---|
| Build | £2,500 | £3,500 |
| Monthly (hosting + AI assistant) | £150, first month free | £250, first month free |
| Clients book themselves on your site | yes | yes |
| Reminders, panel, gallery, promos | yes | yes |
| Deposits at booking | — | card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna |
| Team rota, who can perform which treatment | — | yes |
| Gift vouchers, courses, model sign-ups, events | — | yes |
| AI assistant | answers and books 24/7 | also learns from your WhatsApp replies |
| Commission on bookings | 0% | 0% |
Solo stylists, therapists and holiday lets usually start with Website + booking. Clinics, teams and anyone whose no-show costs real money go for Team salon.
Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy, or your own booking system?
Marketplaces get you in front of new clients inside their app, and you pay for it: a subscription, fees on payments and, on some plans, commission on new clients they send you. Check their current price lists, because they change.
Your own booking system works differently:
- a fixed build price and a fixed monthly fee, 0% commission, no per-staff fees,
- clients book on your site, not next to your competitors,
- the client list is in your database, not someone else’s app,
- the Book button on your Google Business Profile points to your diary.
It doesn’t have to be either-or. Plenty of salons keep a marketplace for discovery and move regulars to their own booking, where nothing is taken off the top.
Deposits that stop no-shows
With Team salon you decide which treatments need a deposit, how much it is and how late a client can cancel for free. The client pays when they book, by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Klarna pay-later, and the money goes straight to your account through the payment provider, not through me.
The rules sit in your booking terms, which the client accepts before paying. That’s how Elite Aesthetics and Hair Majesty work. To see what no-shows cost you now, try the no-show calculator.
An assistant that books while you work
Every booking site comes with LUCY, an AI assistant on your booking page. She answers questions about treatments, prices and parking, and books clients into free slots, 24/7. In Team salon she also asks you on WhatsApp when she doesn’t know an answer and remembers what you said.
Who it’s for
- Hair and beauty salons, barbers: treatments of different lengths, several stylists, deposits on longer services.
- Aesthetics clinics: consultations, practitioner permissions, courses and model days.
- Make-up artists: bridal dates booked months ahead with a deposit.
- Holiday lets: connected to the system you already use, such as Hotres.
