"I get asked so many times which booking system I use and it has been @styleseat since I started on my own in 2013!! Over ten years and I haven’t found another I like as much! Recently they have added deposits and I’m in love! I never really charged a deposit per se but this makes it so easy and care free! Just set it up on your account and you’re all set! No fuss!"

FAQ
Can clients get refunds?

How do deposits help reduce no-shows?
Deposits secure your clients’ commitment by requiring payment upfront. Clients are more likely to show up or reschedule responsibly when their appointment is backed by a deposit.
