Timely alternative UK
Bookivo is a UK-focused alternative if you want salon booking software with a branded website, deposits, forms and straightforward monthly pricing for solo businesses and teams.
The problem
Salon platforms vary in pricing, website tools and how much is included versus add-on. Bookivo’s pitch is a complete booking website plus operations, with published UK pricing.
Booking software that still leaves you stitching together a separate site can slow you down.
Consultation forms, deposits and before/after photos matter as much as a calendar.
Growing Teams is a flat £39/month with unlimited team members on Bookivo’s published plan.
Diary, payments, forms, reminders and CRM in one place reduces admin.
How Bookivo helps
Bookivo combines the booking website clients see with the calendar, Stripe payments, forms and client file your team uses.
Build or connect a branded booking site, then manage availability in the same product.
Deposits for long appointments; full payment and Apple Pay where Stripe supports it.
Consultation forms and before/after photos for aesthetics and advanced treatments.
Free setup help and CSV import support via hello@bookivo.co.uk.
Treatment menus, staff calendars, deposits and a booking website that looks like your salon.
Consultation forms, deposits, practitioner diaries and a more professional booking journey.
One booking link for Instagram, Google and WhatsApp, without marketplace commission.
Add-ons, infills, stylist choice and repeat bookings on a mobile-friendly booking page.
Shared calendars and availability without paying marketplace fees to keep the diary full.
Export what you can from your current system and email hello@bookivo.co.uk for migration help.
