Where Covered Beauty fits.
Covered Beauty suits practitioners and small teams who want clients to book directly through their own branded page. You can share the link on your website and social profiles, manage the diary and keep client records together.
We do not market to your client list. You can export your records and cancel your subscription. Read our promise for the details.

When Treatwell may suit you
Treatwell offers a salon marketplace as well as business software. Its Advanced plan may suit a larger team. Consider the new business a marketplace brings alongside its charges.
Separate finding a client from taking a booking.
A booking system manages appointments. A marketplace can also introduce people who have never heard of your business. Decide whether you need one, the other or both. If you already have a regular client base, test how easily those clients can book directly and return for their next treatment.
Try it with
a real working day.
- Add a few treatments with the prices and durations you actually use.
- Set your working hours and open the booking page on your phone.
- Check the diary, a client record and the consent forms you need.
- Before switching, ask about importing your existing records, future appointments and any prepaid balances. Keep access to your old system until you have checked everything.
