Treatment slots are long, prepped, and hard to refill
A facial, a chemical peel, or a dermaplaning session is a sustained block of time, and you prep the room, the products, and sometimes mix actives before the client arrives. When that appointment ghosts, you lose the time and a slice of product, and because skincare clients schedule ahead, the slot rarely fills same-day. That is income you worked to book and never collected.
Keptbookings lets you require a deposit on longer or higher-cost treatments while keeping express services on card-on-file. The deposit applies to the service, so genuine clients lose nothing, and the appointment finally carries the weight it should.
- Deposits on advanced facials, peels, and treatment packages.
- Card-on-file for express services and regulars.
- Protection that matches the cost of an empty room.
Skin intake and consent before the appointment
Skincare treatments depend on knowing what is on and in the skin. Keptbookings lets you collect intake at booking, so clients disclose retinoid use, recent sun exposure, allergies, and medications before they sit in your chair, not after you have already started. You can flag contraindications before the day instead of discovering them mid-appointment.
That pre-visit intake keeps you safe and your treatments effective. Keptbookings handles the scheduling, intake capture, reminders, and deposits; it is booking software rather than a clinical records platform, so any formal treatment charting stays in your own system.
No-show protection that cannot be gamed
A cancellation policy without a verified card is just a hope. Many tools store a card without checking it, so a fake number slips through and your fee bounces. Others let clients quietly remove the card after booking, leaving you exposed when you try to charge a no-show.
Keptbookings validates the card with Stripe at the moment of booking and rejects invalid cards before the slot locks in. If a client removes their card before the appointment, you are alerted in time to act. Deposits and fees collect through Stripe with next-day payouts and no fund holds.
- Cards validated at booking, not blindly stored.
- Alerts when a client removes a card early.
- Fees that actually collect and reach your bank next day.
Book treatment series and rebook with ease
Skincare results come from a series, not a single visit. Keptbookings gives you a branded booking page and link-in-bio where clients can book their next session in seconds, with guest checkout so there is no account to create. A client finishing a peel can lock in the follow-up before they leave instead of meaning to call you back.
Reminders keep the series on track. A client who forgets their four-week follow-up is a client whose results stall, so SMS and email reminders are built in at no extra cost.
Flat price, zero commission, your clients stay yours
Commission apps take a percentage of every facial, and marketplaces can advertise your clients to other studios. Keptbookings does neither. No marketplace, no discovery feed, zero commission. You pay one flat price: around $19 solo, a flat $49 for up to six providers on Team, with a free tier of 20 appointments a month.
Your clients and their treatment history belong to you. One click exports the full list, importing is free, and nobody is renting your regulars to the studio next door.
