From our pros

Real stylists. Real diaries. Real money.

I went from chasing deposits on Instagram to a full diary. The escrow alone changed my business — no more no-shows ghosting me on a Saturday morning.

Brixton · braiding
The verified badge does the selling for me. Clients arrive already trusting me, so consultations are quicker and conversion is way up.
Zara Mensah

Same-day payouts and a calendar that suggests gaps to fill. I work fewer hours and earn more than I did renting a chair.

FAQ

Everything you wanted to ask.

Can't find what you need? Start an application and our team will reach out.

  • When do I get paid?
    Funds are released from escrow as soon as the client confirms the appointment is complete — typically same-day. Bank transfer lands within 24 hours.
  • What if a client no-shows?
    Their payment is already in escrow. After a 15-minute grace window you can mark the booking as a no-show and keep the deposit per our cancellation policy.
  • How does verification work?
    Upload a government ID, six portfolio shots, and one professional reference. Most pros are verified within 48 hours.
  • Does the client see my home address?
    Never. We only show your area and postcode prefix. Exact location is shared only when you choose to host clients at your salon and confirm a booking.
  • Can I pause my profile?
    Yes — toggle availability off from your dashboard. You stay searchable but won't accept new bookings until you re-enable it.
  • What about cancellations?
    Clients can cancel free up to 48 hours before. Inside 48 hours they forfeit the deposit, which is paid out to you.
  • Is there a contract or minimum term?
    No. Cancel any time, keep your profile data, and we'll help you export your client list if you ever leave.
  • Do you handle taxes?
    We provide monthly statements you can hand to your accountant. You remain a self-employed sole trader — tax is your responsibility.
