Booking system for hair & beauty
The booking system for tattoo artists and studios
You are in the middle of an eight hour back piece. The phone and the DMs pile up with enquiries you will answer, maybe, next week.
Sound familiar?
Why tattoo artists and studios lose work to the phone.
A full day session is £400 to £700. One no-show with no deposit is an entire day of your chair earning nothing.
You are heads-down for hours
A big session means you are gloved up and focused all day. Enquiries stack up unanswered and some of them book with another artist before you surface.
Consults and deposits are fiddly
Every piece needs a chat about the idea, size and placement, then a deposit to hold the date. subba runs that conversation and takes the deposit for you.
No-shows waste a whole day
A booked session that does not turn up is a day of income gone. A deposit taken up front and a reminder the day before protect your calendar.
How subba helps
An online diary that fills itself.
Bookings that land in your diary
Customers pick a real free slot and book themselves in. No back and forth, no double bookings, it is in your calendar the moment they confirm.
Take the payment or a deposit
Collect a deposit or the full amount into your own Stripe at the point of booking. Fewer no-shows, and the money is yours the same day.
An AI receptionist on top
And when someone rings or messages instead of booking online, subba answers as a tattoo artist, day and night, and books them in too. One system, every enquiry caught.
Reminders that cut no-shows
Automatic reminders by text and email before every appointment, with easy rescheduling, so your slots stay filled and your day runs to plan.
Your services, online
Customers pick, book and pay.
subba shows your real services and prices, offers only your genuine free slots, and books straight into your diary. Here is how a tattoo artist setup might look.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For tattoo artists and studios, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Tattoo artist FAQs.
Can it take deposits to hold a session?
Yes. subba can take a deposit into your own Stripe when it books the session, so a held date is a committed date and your day is protected.
Will it handle the consult conversation?
It gathers the idea, size, placement and budget, books the consult, and hands you a client who already knows how it works, so the in-person chat is about the art, not the admin.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
