Your salon business practically runs itself.

£0 a month. We earn when you earn.

Everything below is on the free plan — it is the product, not a crippled demo. We take 7.5% of what you take through the app, and nothing at all on tips — a tip of up to the value of the service reaches you whole. No subscription, no setup fee, no contract.

• £0 a month, forever
• 7.5% of what you take through the app
• 0% on tips, up to the value of the service

Pocket replaces the tools you'd normally have to buy separately.

Most salons end up paying for a booking system, a website, a card reader, a mailing list and something to write their posts — five bills from five companies that do not talk to each other. This is all of it, in one place, for nothing until you get paid.

• Your booking system — A diary that knows your real hours, your real service lengths, and never double-books.
• Your website — Your own address at yourname.mypocketsalon.app, live the day you sign up.
• Your branded customer app — Your salon on your clients’ home screen, in your name and your colours.
• Your payment system — Deposits at booking, card at the chair, and a till for the cash — tips to you whole.
• Your client database — Every client, every visit, every note and patch test, kept in one place.
• Your loyalty & referral system — A stamp card for your regulars, and 2% for every salon you introduce.
• Your social media assistant — Posts written from the gaps actually in your diary, ready to paste. We write them. You post them.
• Your retention marketing — Reminders before the appointment, and a nudge when a regular goes quiet.
• Your admin assistant — Ask Pocket in plain words. It shows you what it will do before it does it.

Nine subscriptions, or one app that costs nothing until somebody pays you. There is no tier where these get switched on — this is the free plan.

See your salon before you sign up.

Type your name, pick your trade and a colour, and your booking page appears on screen with your name on it. Nothing is saved until you claim it, and there is no card to enter.

Live in an afternoon

Three steps between signing up and taking your first online booking.

1. Add what you offer — List your services with prices and how long each one takes. That is the whole setup.
2. Share your page — You get your own address — yourname.mypocketsalon.app. Put it in your bio and clients book themselves in.
3. Get paid — Take card payments on the spot or collect a deposit at booking. The money settles to your account.

You only pay when you get paid

No subscription, no setup cost, nothing to cancel.

7.5% per booking taken through myPocketSalon

You keep 92.5% of every sale, and card processing on standard UK cards is included — there is no separate Stripe fee on top and nothing per transaction. The 7.5% is worked out on the full price of the booking and comes out of whatever is paid online: on a £120 booking with a £30 deposit, our £9 comes out of the deposit, so you receive £21 now and £90 in the chair. Part of our 7.5% funds the Pocket Partner Referral Programme, which is how salons who introduce other salons get paid.

• Your own branded booking page
• Unlimited services, clients and appointments
• Card payments and deposits
• Automatic confirmations and reminders
• A stamp card for your regulars
• Posts written from your diary
• Client history and takings at a glance

When you get the money

Card payments go straight into your own Stripe account — they never sit with us. Stripe holds each payment for 7 days, then pays your bank on the schedule you set in Stripe. The wait is what protects you if a customer disputes a payment weeks later. Need it sooner? Stripe offers instant payouts from its own dashboard. Cash and card taken on your own terminal never touch us and are yours immediately.

Built to be trusted with your business

• Payments secured by Stripe — Card details never touch us. Stripe handles them, as they do for millions of businesses.
• Your client list stays yours — We never market to your customers. They are your clients, not ours.
• Export your data any time — Clients, bookings and takings, as a spreadsheet, from Settings. Nothing to request and nobody to ask.
• Nothing to install or set up — It works in the browser on the phone already in your pocket.

Your customers get your app.

Not a link to our website with your logo on it. Your clients tap "add to home screen" and your salon sits on their phone next to Instagram — your name, your colours, opening straight on your booking page.

• Installs from the browser. Nothing to download, no App Store, no approval to wait for.
• Opens full screen, like any other app. No address bar, no browser tabs.
• Works on iPhone and Android from the same address.
• Update it by changing your branding — every client sees it next time they open it.

You get the same thing: the salon side installs on your phone too.

From Instagram to paid appointment.

You do the work. myPocketSalon handles the bits in between.

1. They find you — Your own salon page, and social posts written for you.
2. They book you — A diary that knows your real hours and never double-books.
3. They pay you — Card up front or a deposit, plus a till for cash on the day.
4. They come back — Reminders before, and a nudge when a regular goes quiet.
5. They tell their friends — Referrals that reward the client who sent them.

Ask Pocket

Pocket takes care of the boring stuff. Just tell it what you want.

• “Write a post about my free slots this weekend”
• “Who has not booked again this month?”
• “Block out Friday afternoon, I have the dentist”
• “How much did I earn this month?”
• “When am I free for a full head next week?”

Who has not booked again this month?

Eight clients who normally come back every 4–6 weeks are overdue. Priya is furthest behind, at 9 weeks.

Know another salon? Get paid for it.

Introduce someone to myPocketSalon and you earn 2% of everything they take through it, every month they keep using it. It comes out of our share, so they pay the same 7.5% either way.

• 2% of everything the salons you introduce take
• £0 it costs them — their fee is the same 7.5% either way

You do not need to run a salon to do this — and there is a second, smaller tier for anyone they introduce.

How the growth share works

Who it is for

• Hairdressers — Colour appointments, patch tests and deposits that stop no-shows.
• Nail technicians — Infills, full sets and a diary that knows how long each takes.
• Lash artists — Fills on a cycle, with reminders timed to when they are due.
• Barbers — Walk-ins and regulars, on a rota that fits a busy chair.
• Beauticians — Treatment menus and consultations in one place.
• Mobile therapists — Travel time between clients, built into your availability.

Questions

What does it cost to start?

Nothing. There is no subscription and no setup fee. We take 7.5% of payments taken through myPocketSalon, and nothing at all on tips — you can record a tip worth as much as the service itself and it reaches you whole. If you take no money through it, you pay nothing.

Do I need a website already?

No — your booking page is the website. You get your own address at yourname.mypocketsalon.app as soon as you sign up.

When do I get my money?

Card payments go into your own Stripe account, not ours. Stripe holds each one for 7 days and then pays your bank on whatever schedule you set in Stripe. The wait is what protects you if a customer disputes a payment. Need it sooner? Stripe offers instant payouts from its dashboard for a small fee of its own.

Is there a limit on tips?

A tip can be as large as the service itself, and every penny of it is yours — we take no fee on tips at all. The limit exists only because tips carry no fee: without it, a £1 service with a £99 "tip" would be a way to take £100 and pay us almost nothing. If a client is unusually generous, ring the work up at what it was really worth and put the tip on top.

Can my clients still just message me?

Of course. You can add appointments yourself in seconds, and walk-ins can be rung up on the spot on the till.

What if I have staff?

Right now myPocketSalon is built for one person’s diary, and a colleague cannot yet have their own sign-in. You can run a second chair from the same account, and separate logins with their own permissions are being worked on. If that is a dealbreaker today, it is better you know now.

What happens to my clients if I leave?

You export them and go. There is no contract and no notice period. Your client list is yours, and we never contact your customers ourselves.
