How to stop paying commission on every booking
If you use a platform that charges a percentage on every appointment, you're giving away a slice of every haircut. The more you work, the more you pay. Here's how commissions work and how to get rid of them.
Understand what you really pay
A 20% commission on a 20 € appointment is 4 € you never see. It sounds small, but multiply it by all your appointments in a month and you'll see the commission is one of your biggest costs, and it grows exactly when you work the most.
Commission punishes your growth
With a commission, every new client you win hands money to the platform, not just to you. With a flat fee you pay the same whether you have 50 appointments or 500, so everything you grow is yours.
Your clients are yours, not the platform's
The big platforms keep your clients' data and show it to your competitors. With your own booking page, your client list is yours and nobody can take it away.
Do the maths before you decide
Before switching, work out how much you pay in commissions today versus a flat fee. With two minutes and a calculator you'll see in black and white how much you'd save each month.
Switching is simpler than it looks
Moving to a flat fee doesn't mean starting from scratch. You create your booking page, let your clients know on WhatsApp and carry on working the same way, but keeping everything you earn.
