Treatwell alternative UK
Treatwell is a well-known marketplace for salon discovery. Bookivo is for businesses that want clients to book directly — on a branded website, with deposits, forms and no marketplace commission.
The problem
A marketplace can send new clients. The trade-off is that those clients may compare you with nearby listings, and the platform’s commercial model is built around that discovery.
Marketplace shoppers often choose on price, reviews and availability across many salons, not only yours.
If the habit is “book on the app”, your next appointment can depend on that app remaining the front door.
Owners who already have demand from Instagram or Google often prefer a flat monthly system and their own booking policies.
Aesthetics businesses usually need consultation forms and deposits that feel clinical and branded, not marketplace-first.
How Bookivo helps
Use Bookivo as the place regulars and referral clients book. Keep your marketing channels — Google, Instagram, your website — pointing at a booking experience you control.
Services, staff, hours and branding sit on a site that is yours, including a custom domain if you want one.
Reduce no-shows on colour, lash and treatment appointments without sending people back to a marketplace checkout.
Collect consultation information before arrival.
Let clients pick a therapist where you offer that, with availability you control.
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.
Treatwell’s marketplace is a different product category from Bookivo. Some businesses use a marketplace for discovery and a separate system for direct bookings; others want one branded system.
