How it works

Booked before your coffee's cold.

Answer five questions

The AI drafts your whole page — bio, service menu with your prices, a look to match your work. You edit, it goes live.

Put it in your bio

Clients pick a slot and pay the deposit before it's ever on your calendar. No-show? You keep it — that's the point.

What you get

A front desk that never sleeps on it.

Template looks
Free

A page that looks like you paid for it.

Ten hand-built looks made for ink and hair — not a website builder with 4,000 knobs. Pick one, drop your work in, done. Your gallery photos get location data stripped automatically, because your clients' privacy is part of the craft.

Booking with deposit
Free

Deposits before it touches your calendar.

Real-time slots from your actual hours. The client pays the deposit up front and agrees to your no-show policy in writing — we store the exact text they saw, with a timestamp and IP. If anyone ever disputes a charge, you get a print-ready evidence packet.

AI front desk chat
Studio

An AI front desk that answers at 2am.

It knows your real menu, your real prices, your real open slots — and nothing else. It books clients while you work, captures the ones who aren't ready, and shows you which conversations turned into money. Every word of every chat is in your inbox.

Talk to a live one right now → open the chat bubble and try to haggle. It won't budge, and it books like a person.

Earnings view
Pro

Know your money without a spreadsheet.

Day, week, month, year — what landed, what's net after fees. Text the rest of the bill as a payment link when the piece is done. One-tap refunds that make your client whole without costing you a fight.

Online card payments carry the card network's standard processing fee plus a small 1% platform fee — never a commission on your art, and never a cut of cash taken in the chair. Payment plans (Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm) pay you in full up front; when a client picks one, that payment runs at the provider's standard rate instead of the card rate — your call, one toggle.

Questions, answered straight

The fine print, in big print.

Is the free plan actually free?

Yes — free forever, not a trial, no card to sign up. Your page, your link, real-time booking, and card deposits all work on Free. You only ever pay the money rule: card processing + 1% when a client pays through your page. If nobody pays, you pay nothing.

Are there any fees I should know about?

When a client pays through your page, the card networks take their standard processing cut and TakingClients adds 1% flat. That's the entire fee story — no booking fees to clients, no commission on your work, and cash you take in the chair is invisible to us. Paid tiers are optional flat subscriptions on top.

How do payment plans work? Do I get paid up front?

You're paid in full, immediately. A client can split a deposit or a balance into installments with Klarna, Afterpay, or Affirm at checkout — the provider pays you the whole amount up front and collects the installments themselves, so a missed installment is their problem, never yours. That payment runs at the provider's standard rate (about 6% + 30¢) plus the same 1%, instead of the card rate — only when a client actually picks a plan, and there's a toggle in Payouts if you'd rather stay card-only. Big pieces book easier when nobody has to front $600 at once.

What happens when someone no-shows?

You keep the deposit. That's what it's for. The policy is shown in plain words under the pay button — the deposit holds the slot, goes toward the total, and is kept on no-show or short-notice cancellation. Clients agree to it before paying, and we snapshot exactly what they agreed to.

What if a client disputes the charge with their bank?

You're covered better than most shops: every booking stores the agreed policy text, timestamps, and the booking IP. One tap assembles that into a print-ready evidence packet for the card networks — the paper trail most artists wish they had.

How does the founding-artist deal work?

The first 20 accounts are flagged automatically at signup — Pro free for 12 months, a number (you'll see "Founding artist #7"), and a direct line to the founder. When the 20 seats are gone, they're gone.

Can I leave? Who owns my client list?

You do, unambiguously. Export your full client book as a CSV any time, on any tier. Cancel a paid plan in two taps in the billing portal — your page keeps working on Free and nothing is deleted. We'd rather earn the $12 than lock a door.
