Online booking
Keptbookings gives independent salons and beauty pros a clean, 24/7 online booking system that fills your calendar while you sleep — no apps for clients to download, no commission on a single appointment. You set your services, hours, and policies once, and clients book themselves in a few taps.
- True guest checkout — no forced account, so new clients actually finish booking.
- Real-time availability that respects working hours, breaks and buffers.
- Embeddable widget for your own website plus a link-in-bio for social.
- Mobile-first — most clients book from a phone.
Take Bookings Around the Clock, Without the Phone Tag
Most no-shows and lost clients start the same way: someone wanted to book at 9pm, you were asleep, and by morning they’d gone somewhere with an online option. Keptbookings closes that gap. Your booking page is live every hour of every day, so clients reserve their slot the moment they decide — not whenever you happen to be free to answer the phone.
Every booking flows straight into your calendar in real time, so there’s no double-booking and no manual re-typing. You wake up to a fuller day, already organized, with deposits or cards on file where you’ve asked for them. The whole point is to get you out of the inbox and the DMs and back behind the chair.
- Live 24/7 — clients book evenings, weekends, and holidays on their own
- Real-time calendar sync prevents double-bookings
- No client app or account download required to book
- True guest checkout — clients can book without creating a login
You Control Exactly How Booking Works
Keptbookings lets you shape the booking flow around how you actually run your business. Set each service’s duration, price, and a buffer for cleanup or turnover so back-to-back appointments never crowd you. Decide which services need a deposit, a card on file, or full prepayment before the slot is held.
You can limit how far ahead clients book, block out personal time, and stagger availability so you’re never slammed. Because the rules live in your settings, clients only ever see slots that genuinely work — which means fewer awkward rescheduling conversations and a day that runs the way you planned it.
Booking That Protects Your Time and Your Income
An empty chair costs you whether the client meant to ghost you or not. Keptbookings pairs online booking with deposits and card-on-file validation at the moment of booking, so the people filling your calendar are the ones who actually show up. If a client books and later deletes their card, you get an alert — so a no-show protection policy can’t be quietly bypassed.
Repeat clients are remembered automatically, with their history and any no-show flags attached to their record. You spend less energy chasing confirmations and more time on the work that pays. It’s booking software built to defend your schedule, not just decorate it.
No Commission, No Marketplace Poaching Your Clients
Some booking platforms run as marketplaces — they list your business next to your competitors and take a cut of every appointment, sometimes 20% to 30%. Keptbookings doesn’t. You pay one flat monthly price and keep 100% of what you earn, forever. Your clients are yours, your booking page is branded to you, and no algorithm is nudging them toward the salon down the street.
Whether you’re a solo stylist or a small team, the math is simple and predictable. As you grow and book more, your cost doesn’t climb with you — which is the opposite of how commission models work.

Questions, answered
Do my clients need to download an app to book?
No. Keptbookings uses true guest checkout, so clients book directly from your link or embedded page in their browser — no app, no account, no password to forget. Returning clients are recognized automatically so rebooking is even faster.
Does Keptbookings take a commission on my bookings?
Never. You pay one flat monthly price — roughly $19/mo Solo or $49/mo for a team of up to six providers — and keep 100% of your revenue. Unlike marketplace platforms that charge 20–30% per appointment, Keptbookings’s price doesn’t grow as you book more.
Can I try online booking for free?
Yes. Keptbookings’s free tier includes 20 appointments per month with no card required, so you can see real bookings come in before you pay anything. When you outgrow it, you move to a flat plan — there’s no surprise upgrade pressure baked into the booking flow.
Will online booking double-book me with phone or walk-in appointments?
No. Your calendar is the single source of truth. Anything you add manually instantly blocks that time online, and online bookings block it everywhere else, so a slot can only ever be taken once.
Can I require a deposit or card before someone books?
Yes, per service. You can require a card on file, a partial deposit, or full prepayment for any service. Keptbookings validates the card at the time of booking and alerts you if a client later removes it.
