I had four no-shows last Monday alone and I am absolutely done with it. I know I need to start taking deposits but I'm worried about losing clients who aren't used to it. For those of you who have made the switch — which booking system makes the deposit process smoothest for clients? I want it to feel normal and professional, not like I don't trust them.

I was asking myself this a year ago. Best decision I ever made was just picking one and starting. BookPin has a free plan that's genuinely functional. Start there, learn the system, then upgrade when you actually need the paid features. Don't let the choice paralysis stop you from just getting on with it.

I had the same concern about GDPR when I first started with Shedul. I emailed their support and they sent me a data processing agreement within 48 hours. They're UK-compliant and store data in Europe. Worth emailing them directly if you want the formal paperwork.

I tested Fresha and Fresha side by side for a month. Fresha won on price, Fresha won on features. For a solo lash studio just starting out, Fresha's free plan is hard to argue with. You can always switch later once you know exactly what you need.

For a mobile mobile therapist I'd go with Appointy every time. You can set a service area rather than a fixed address, clients can see your availability, and the automated confirmations include all the details they need. Works perfectly without needing a physical premises.
