“I honestly can’t recommend Covered Beauty enough! The customer service has been second to none, and the app itself has been so easy to use. It has everything I need for my small business and has made managing my bookings so much easier. I’m so glad I made the switch and would definitely recommend it to other beauty professionals and salons!”

Hiya, I’m Dean, the founder of Covered Beauty. We’re a small UK company based in Whitehaven, Cumbria, and we make booking software for independent salons, clinics and tanning shops.
Plenty of booking apps take a cut when a client books, or charge you when a new client finds you. We don’t. It’s £9 a month if it’s just you, £14 for Pro with the extras, or £19.99 for a team of up to five, with unlimited bookings on every plan. Deposits go into your own Stripe account, and Stripe’s card fees apply.
Your clients stay yours. We won’t send them offers from other salons or sell your client list, and you can download your records from your dashboard whenever you like. It’s all written down on our promise page so you can hold us to it.
Moving from Fresha, Treatwell, Booksy or paper? We’ll help set up your treatments. Just email hello@covered.technology and we’ll get back to you.

A bigger team or more than one location? Let’s talk
Already with us? Share your link from your dashboard. When a salon you recommend has paid for two months, your next month is free: the price of a month on your plan, or on theirs if it costs less, taken off your next bill. Recommended by a salon? Sign up with their link, or pick “A friend or another salon” just after you sign up and type their salon’s name as it shows on their booking page, so we can thank them.
You don’t need a card to start. To carry on after your 7 free days, add a card before the trial ends and your chosen plan starts when it does: Solo is £9 a month, Pro is £14 and the Team plan is £19.99 for up to five people. If you don’t add one, the trial simply ends and nothing is charged.

It can be, if most of your clients already book with you directly. Fresha, Treatwell and Booksy each pair booking software with a marketplace where new clients can find you, and their plans and fees differ. Covered Beauty is booking software with no booking commission or new-client fee, at £9/month for one person, £14 for Pro with the extras, or £19.99 for up to five people. If a marketplace brings you profitable new clients, count that too. Our side-by-side comparisons set out what each one publishes, with links to the source.
