Not just a booking link

The whole shop, in the box.

Everything an independent stylist runs a business on — set up for you the day you sign up, all under your name.

A real website built by StartMyOwn

A real website — designed for you

Not a template with your name pasted in. A designed one-page site with your services, prices, gallery, and booking — built for your business and live on the internet the same day. Add a teammate or change a policy by text and the site updates itself. (This one belongs to a braider in Atlanta.)

Booking with deposits

Clients pick a real open slot and pay a deposit to hold it. Double-booking is impossible.

Your whole crew, bookable

“Book me with Keisha” just works. Every chair has their own services and hours — and your site grows a Meet-the-Team section on its own.

A waitlist that fills itself

Booked solid? Clients join the waitlist and a cancellation offers the slot automatically — no group-text scramble.

Your own business line

A dedicated number for calls and texts — your personal cell stays personal.

An assistant that answers

Texts, calls, and website chat answered 24/7 in your voice — bookings handled, questions answered, you looped in.

Standing appointments

“Every two weeks” books itself — the next visit is on the books before they leave the chair, with a text each time.

Payments to your bank

Deposits and payments land in your own account through Stripe. Set up once, paid forever.

Reminders that show up

Every client gets a day-before text automatically. Reschedules carry the deposit.

Your client book

Every client, visit, and payment in one place — a real history you own, not a DM scroll.

How it works

A whole business, built in an afternoon.

1

Sign up in minutes

Your name, your services, your prices. That’s the whole setup.

2

Your storefront appears

A designed website, booking with deposits, your own business line, and payments to your bank — all stood up for you the same day.

3

Get booked. Get paid.

Clients pay deposits to hold their slot. No-shows forfeit. Money lands in YOUR account.

The feature that pays for itself

Deposits that end no-shows

Set a deposit on any service — 25%, 50%, your call. The AI collects it with a secure payment link before the slot is confirmed. Show up? It applies to the service. No-show? You keep it. Set a late-cancel window ("inside 24 hours keeps the deposit") and the policy enforces itself. Your time finally has a price.

Live demo — not a mockup

Talk to a real one

This is a live demo salon running on StartMyOwn — same AI your clients would text. Ask it for prices, open slots, anything.

Powered by the same AI that answers your customers by text, phone, and web chat.

Hi! I can help with services, prices, and booking. Ask me anything.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Do I need my own website already?

No — we build it for you when you sign up. A designed one-page site with your services, prices, gallery, and booking, live on the internet the same day.

How do deposits work?

You set a deposit percentage per service. When a client books, the AI texts them a secure Stripe link; the slot is held until they pay. Completed visits apply the deposit; no-shows forfeit it to you.

Do I need a separate business phone?

Your business gets its own number. The AI answers texts and phone calls on it 24/7, books appointments, and hands anything unusual to you.

How do I get paid?

Straight to your bank through Stripe. You connect your account once (about 5 minutes) — every deposit and payment routes to you automatically, minus a small platform fee.

Can clients book a specific stylist?

Yes — on the Shop plan, add your team with what they do and when they work. "Book me with Keisha" just works: availability, booking, and your site's Meet-the-Team section all follow the roster automatically.

Do I have to run everything by text?

Text is the fastest way — but your dashboard shows the same business: upcoming appointments, your team, your money, and your policies, all editable. Same engine underneath, your choice of steering wheel.
