Clients choose a service and a free time, pay a deposit and get a reminder before they come in, without messaging you mid-manicure. It's your own site, so no booking app takes a cut of your new clients.

Yours from day one. Your domain, your client list and your accounts are in your name. If we part ways, the site keeps running.
The demo
A working site, not a mock-up: pick a service and book. Nothing is really booked, but the pages and the emails are exactly what your customers would see.
Pick a colour service, watch the 50% deposit appear, send it by bank transfer, and get the confirmation and reminder emails. On the demos, card payment shows as “opening soon” and text reminders are off.
Open Lacquer & Lace (opens in a new tab)Why it pays
Most booking requests arrive while you're with a client. A booking site answers straight away, takes the deposit and sends the reminder, so the slot doesn't go to whoever replied first.
3 no-shows a week on a $50 set is $600 a month: $7,200 a year.
Example numbers. A deposit and a reminder are how a booking site brings that down.
Work out your own number: the 2-minute quizClients pick a service, see the deposit (50% on the Lacquer & Lace demo) and pay it by bank transfer, or by card once your card-payment account is connected.
Clients can ask for the technician they want when they book.

Build with Studio Compare all four packagesStraight answers
Only if you want them to. You set the amount for each service; on the Lacquer & Lace demo it's 50%, paid by bank transfer, or by card once your card-payment account is connected.
Yes, on the Studio package: prepaid packages that clients buy on your site and pay for up front.
The build is a one-time price: $1,199 for the Booking package. Running costs, about $21–39 a month, are billed to you directly by the providers on your own accounts and never marked up. Card processing is the usual processor rate on each payment; bank-transfer payments cost nothing extra.
You do. The domain, hosting, calendar and payment accounts are in your name from day one, and so is every customer record. If we part ways, everything stays with you, with no export fee and no lock-in.
