Booking software for UK aesthetics clinics · £9/mo · No commission

Built for

Which one are you?

Three shop types, three jobs to do. Tap yours — we’ll show you what we built for it.

Consent signed before the door opens.

Clients fill in their medical history and sign on their own phone the day before. No clipboard. No chasing paperwork at the door. Deposits are compulsory, no-show charges are one tap, and the audit trail your insurers ask for is there — automatically.

Specific to aesthetics clinics
  • Pre-appointment medical history
  • Electronic signature on every form
  • Article 9 audit trail by default
  • JCCP-drafted consent templates

Plus every standard feature — online bookings, deposits, no-show charges, smart rebooking, team rota, reports, GDPR-aligned data — works the same on every plan, for every shop type.

Why we’re different

Most booking software either takes a cut of every booking, or signs you onto a year-long contract.

We do neither. A flat £9 a month. Your client’s deposit goes straight from their card to your bank account — we never touch it. Cancel any month. We never email your clients. We never lock your data behind a tier. Six promises, written down so you can hold us to them.

Read our six promises
Inside the software

Four moments from a real day.

  1. Today

    Six appointments in one calm view.

    Today's schedule, who's checked in, who's owing a deposit, who's waiting on a medical form — all on one screen. No tabs, no setup.

  2. Move a booking

    Drag it. Done.

    When a client needs to move, grab their appointment block and drop it on the new time. Conflict check, reminder reset, confirmation email — handled before you let go.

  3. When someone no-shows

    One tap to charge the card on file.

    Mark them as no-show, click Charge — Stripe takes the fee from the card they consented to at booking. No phone calls, no awkward emails.

  4. End of the month

    Reports that already make sense.

    Revenue, top treatments, busiest days, returning clients. Hand it to your accountant or just check you're still growing.

§1Bookings & deposits

Clients book themselves. Deposits land before they walk in.

One booking link you can share anywhere. Treatments, times, Apple Pay deposits — the whole flow on one page. Money settles straight to your bank, no middle-man, no commission ever.

And the rest

Six more things you didn’t know you needed.

The smaller wins. Each one would justify a different platform on its own.

Card · 4242
+£180.00

Charge the full cost on no-shows

Their card stays on file with off-session consent — if your policy is to charge the full appointment cost when a client doesn't show, that's one tap. Stripe-compliant, written into the deposit consent, settled to your bank.

Built differently

The pricing your salon deserves.

Other booking platforms take 20% of every walk-in, lock you into their domain, or hide their fee behind “free” marketing. We don’t. Here’s the deal in numbers, not promises.

0%
commission on every booking

Other leading platforms either take a cut of every walk-in or layer transaction fees on top of card processing. We charge nothing per booking — what your client pays, you keep, minus only Stripe's own card fee.

£0
of your money on our platform

Stripe Connect routes deposits straight from the client's card to your own bank account. We never touch the money — there's nothing for us to delay, freeze or take a cut from.

10 mins
from signup to a working booking page

Five short steps — hours, one treatment, branding, payouts, share the link. Most salon owners are taking real bookings the same afternoon. No bank-detail forms before you can see the dashboard.

UK GDPR
Article 9 medical-form handling

Aesthetics clinics need explicit consent for health data. We collect it on the same booking flow, version-pin every form, and store the audit trail a regulator can ask to see years later.

iOS + Android
lock-screen push notifications

Add Covered Beauty to your iPhone home screen and you'll get a push the second a booking comes in — no app store, no install fuss.

Tanning + aesthetics + hair
under one subscription

Most platforms specialise in one. We do tanning beds with cool-off windows, aesthetics with consent forms, and hair / beauty with deposits — all from the same dashboard.

Pricing

Honestly priced.
No commission, ever.

One flat monthly price. We never take a cut of your bookings, and we don’t charge you per appointment. Cancel any time. The price you see is the price you pay.

120 bookings

Roughly bookings × clients per week × 4. A solo aesthetician usually lands around 80–160.

£80

Average ticket including the deposit. Lash sets ~£60. Anti-wrinkle ~£200. Hair colour ~£90.

25%

Marketplace platforms only commission new bookings, not your regulars. A healthy salon sits at 15–30%.

Where Treatwell’s number comes from

Treatwell's public 'Pro' tier: £15/month + commission on new-client bookings (commission tier varies by region; midpoint ~30%).

£19/mo Salon plan, no commission. Stripe payment fees pass through at the same ~1.5% as anyone using Stripe directly.

We’re showing midpoints from the public price ranges, not the worst case. Your specific deal may include negotiated rates, promo periods, or add-ons that move the number either way.

A note from us

We built Covered Beauty because we watched a friend’s clinic lose£400a month to commission.

She’d been with one of the big booking platforms for two years. Every booking they sent her cost her 25% of the price tag. Every booking she sent them — people who’d found her on Instagram and booked through their portal — also cost her 25%. The maths got worse every month.

When she tried to leave, her client list was locked behind a paid tier. When she asked to export her appointment history, it took six emails. Her clients were being marketed to by other salons in the same app. She felt like the product.

That’s why every page of Covered Beauty has been designed in the opposite direction. £9 a month, flat. No commission. One-click export of everything we hold for you. We never email your clients on our behalf. Cancel any month. We treat your data the way we’d want ours treated, and we wrote it down on our promise page so you can hold us to it.

Frequently asked

The five most-asked
questions, answered.

How quickly can I be taking bookings?
About ten minutes. The Welcome wizard walks you through five short steps — opening hours, your first treatment, a logo, where deposits should land, and your shareable booking link. Most salons take their first real booking the same morning they sign up.
Will my clients and history come with me?
Yes. On Settings → Data we give you CSV templates for clients and appointments — export from Fresha, Booksy, Treatwell or anywhere else, drop the data into our templates, upload. The clients importer deduplicates by email, so you can re-run it as many times as you like without making a mess.
Are there really no fees on top of the monthly price?
None. £9 or £19 a month is the entire bill we send you. Your client’s deposit goes from their card straight to your own Stripe account — we never touch it. Stripe’s own card-processing fee (around 1.4% + 20p for UK cards) is the same as if you were using Stripe directly — we don’t add a penny on top.
What happens when a client doesn’t turn up?
That’s your call, not ours. Their card stays on file from the deposit they paid — with their consent to off-session charges. If your policy is to charge the full appointment cost on a no-show, that’s one tap from the appointment screen: pick a reason, Stripe handles the rest. If your policy is to keep just the deposit, you do nothing — it’s already yours. Either way, the money goes straight to your bank, GDPR + Stripe-compliant, and we never see a penny of it.
What happens if I want to cancel?
Cancel any time from Billing — one click. Your account stays open until the end of the month you’ve already paid for. We hold your data for 90 days after that in case you change your mind, then delete it permanently. No notice period, no exit fee, no “come back and finish your contract” phone call.
