What we believe

Beauty work is craft. The software around it should feel like it respects that, not punish it with a 47-tab dashboard, a 1.9% per-booking surcharge, or a “marketing module” that’s really just a robot SMS. (We’ve all been there.)

So we built one tool that does three things, booking, managing, growing, and does each of them with the kind of restraint your studio already lives by.

The honest version

We’re not the
only option.

But here’s what we charge for, what we don’t, and what your current platform is probably doing that we’d rather die than ship. Apples to apples.

Pricing pulled from competitor public pages, Q1 2026. Yes, we’ll update it if they change. We’re petty, not lazy.

We tried four booking platforms in two years. LavaBookings is the first one our front-of-house actually likes. Rebookings are up 38% since we switched.
