A studio day, on one screen.

LavaBookings is the booking platform for studios, salons and freelancers who care how their day actually feels, to clients, to staff, to the bottom line.

What we believe

Beauty work is craft. The software around it should feel like it respects that, not punish it with a 47-tab dashboard, a 1.9% per-booking surcharge, or a “marketing module” that’s really just a robot SMS. (We’ve all been there.)

So we built one tool that does three things, booking, managing, growing, and does each of them with the kind of restraint your studio already lives by.

The other side of the counter

Every studio gets a page on Discover — the LavaBookings marketplace where people browse real, bookable openings near them. no ads, no pay-to-win.

And new clients?
They find you.

The honest version

We’re not the
only option.

But here’s what we charge for, what we don’t, and what your current platform is probably doing that we’d rather die than ship. Apples to apples.

Pricing sourced from competitor public pages as of May 2026. We update periodically. Verify directly with each provider for current pricing.

We built LavaBookings because every tool we tried made our front-of-house fight the software instead of greeting the client.
