OUR STORY

Built for the chair.

Loc'd In is a booking platform built for Black hair professionals — by the women and men who built our community in the first place.

WHY LOC'D IN

Booking, built by us — for us.

Black hair professionals have been the heart of every neighborhood since long before booking platforms existed. The platforms that came along charged commissions on new clients, raised prices, then raised them again — extracting from the same artists who built the community in the first place.

Loc'd In is the answer. No commissions. No new-client fees. One flat monthly price, and every dollar a customer pays goes directly to the stylist's account.

Loc'd In is what booking software would look like if it was built by stylists, for stylists.

"A platform should honor the artist — not extract from them."

THE MISSION

A platform that pays the artist — not the algorithm.

$0

In commissions.

No cut of your bookings. No new-client fee. Booksy took 30% — we take nothing.

$19

Flat monthly.

One price, no tiers, no per-staff fees. Charges, payouts, SMS reminders, deposits — all included.

50%

Deposit protected.

Every booking requires a 50% non-refundable deposit. Bye-bye no-shows.

Want to lock in your hustle?

First 50 founding pros lock in $9/mo for life and 90 days free.

HELP CENTER

Questions answered.

Don't see what you need? Email us at locdinbooking@gmail.com and we'll get back to you within a day.

FOR CUSTOMERS

How do I book a stylist?

Tap any BOOK button on a stylist's profile. Pick your service, date, and time. Pay a 50% deposit to lock the slot in. You'll get a confirmation text immediately and reminders 24 hours + 2 hours before your appointment.

Why do I have to pay a deposit?

Stylists block real time on their calendar for each booking. The 50% deposit protects them from no-shows and lets them keep their lights on. You pay the remainder at the appointment.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. Cancel from My Account → Upcoming Bookings. Cancellations 24+ hours before your appointment get the deposit refunded automatically. Inside 24 hours, the deposit stays with the stylist (you can rebook a new slot at full price).

How do tips work?

Add a tip at checkout (15%, 20%, 25%, or custom). 100% of your tip goes directly to the stylist — Loc'd In takes nothing from tips.

What if my stylist is booked solid?

Tap JOIN WAITLIST on their profile. We'll text you the second a slot opens — usually within days. Free to join, cancel anytime by replying STOP.

How do I message my stylist?

After signing in, head to Messages. Send a photo reference, ask a prep question, or follow up after your appointment. Messages send via SMS to your stylist and appear back in your Loc'd In thread.

FOR STYLISTS

What does Loc'd In cost?

$19/month flat. No commissions on bookings. No per-staff fees. The only other cost is Stripe's standard processing (2.6% + $0.30 per transaction), which you'd pay anywhere. First 50 founding pros lock in $9/mo for life and get 90 days free.

How do I get paid?

Connect Stripe during signup (takes 5 minutes, requires your bank info + SSN for tax purposes). Deposits land in your bank in 2 business days. Loc'd In never holds your money.

Do I set my own hours and prices?

Yes. Your calendar, your services, your prices, your cancellation policy. Loc'd In is the platform — you're the business.

Can I bring my existing clients?

Absolutely. Import them from your phone contacts, your old booking platform, or just send them your Loc'd In profile link. They book in seconds without an account.

What if I'm already on Booksy / StyleSeat / Vagaro?

Use both during your transition. Most founding pros run parallel for the first 2 months, then close the old account once the new bookings catch up. We'll help you import your service menu and client list.
