WHAT KERSIVO IS
YOUR BOOKING. YOUR BRAND. ZERO COMMISSION.
A complete booking, admin and retail system on your own domain — built and launched for you, then yours to run.
-
Easy booking for clients
Service, barber, slot — three taps and they’re in. No app-store detour, no marketplace maze. Your page, their phone, booked before the fade’s dry.
-
Own your shop online
Your domain, your brand — not a tile in someone else’s marketplace. Clients book easy and pre-order for pickup at the chair while they’re getting the cut. Money lands in your Stripe account. Simple.
-
SMS reminders
Clients get a ping before their cut — fewer no-shows. QR on the shop window: passers-by scan it, see your next free slot, and book on the spot.
-
No-show protection
Deposits, reminders, and booking safeguards that keep your chair filled and your schedule protected. Ghost slots? Not today.
-
0% commission
Monthly Care is all we charge — zero cut on bookings, zero cut on retail. Not a penny more from Kersivo. Stripe handles cards; your margin stays yours.
-
Build your own brand
Every booking strengthens your business, not somebody else’s platform. Your domain, your customers, your reputation — compounding on your name, not theirs.

FOR SWITCHERS · TWO MODELS
Kersivo vs marketplace apps
Booksy and Fresha are proven at scale. Kersivo is built for owners who want zero Kersivo commission, a booking site on their own domain, and retail plus admin in one stack. Here is how the two postures differ.
Your domain, your admin, zero Kersivo take
Marketplace apps
e.g. Booksy, Fresha
Large networks, built-in discovery, pricing that blends subscription and marketplace usage.
Commission on bookings ✓ 0% from Kersivo. Predictable monthly Care instead of platform take.
Commission on bookings Popular apps such as Booksy and Fresha combine subscriptions with promotions and marketplace traffic. Your invoice shows the mix for your tier and region.
Commission on retail ✓ 0% from Kersivo on product sales. Stripe only takes its standard card fee on online checkout.
Commission on retail Retail sold via Booksy or Fresha follows each platform’s published fees at checkout time.
No-show protection ✓ Stripe deposits land in your Stripe account before the appointment; you define the deposit rules.
No-show protection Deposit and prepaid tools are standard on major apps — exact behaviour depends on the plan you run.
Who owns client data day-to-day ✓ Exports, tooling and client touchpoints carry your signage. We never surface your clients to neighbouring barbers inside Kersivo.
Who owns client data day-to-day You plug into trusted ecosystems millions of guests already know. Profiles and reminders live largely inside those apps.
Where clients book ✓ Guests land on your domain in the browser—no extra install to book a haircut with you.
Where clients book Most repeat guests stay inside branded apps alongside inspiration for brows, nails and other salons in the directory.
Hands-on switching ✓ We migrate services and chairs from Booksy/Fresha, rehearse together, stage go-live and swap links with you.
Hands-on switching Onboarding is mature when you arrive; planning a bespoke exit toward another stack is largely your roadmap.
Illustrative monthly stack — 4-chair shop, ~800 cuts ✓ £39/month Care + Stripe on cards. Zero Kersivo take on bookings or retail.
Illustrative monthly stack — 4-chair shop, ~800 cuts Busy Booksy-era shops regularly see subscriptions plus incremental marketplace charges in roughly the £150–£300/mo corridor; comparable Fresha stacks often fall near £120–£280/mo—verify with your statement.
Illustration only. Booksy and Fresha publish their own calculators—use your latest statements when you compare.
Choose breadth inside a marketplace, or margin and brand control on your own URL — both are valid; Kersivo is for the latter.
Client data follows UK GDPR — any contact list imported must reflect your existing lawful basis for processing.
FOR NEW SHOPS · NO SYSTEM YET
Launch on your own branded website—not someone else's playground.
We deliver a branded client-facing booking website on your domain: front-of-house polish with admin that lives in the browser. Not a marketplace profile and not a nameless cloud login — your list, your URL, 0% booking take from Kersivo, usually live in about two weeks.
Invest where the long-term payoff is: YOUR brand URL
Visitors experience your bespoke booking website on your domain. Admin keeps you organised in the browser, but clients never mistake you for a marketplace listing.
-
A real website for YOUR barbershop—not a tucked-away cloud screen
Guests book on your domain in the browser using a branded, barber-shop flow tailored to your chairs and services. It reads as yours on the doorstep of Google—not a generic tenant inside an app marketplace.
-
Returning clients ride the same URL; Kersivo take stays at 0%
Every repeat cut goes through your own booking surface. Predictable margins on bookings and retail from day one—with no incremental platform commission from us.
-
Compounding upside lives on assets you actually own
Search visibility, Maps presence, SMS opt-ins and review history reinforce your trading name—not a directory’s brand. Growing the base you keep matters more every year.

FAQ
Questions barbers ask before signing on
Straight answers on fees, migration, traffic, no-show protection, and what happens if you ever want to leave.
Do you take any percentage from bookings or product sales?
No. Kersivo commission is 0% on bookings and retail sales.
More detail
You keep service and product revenue; we do not skim a platform cut from your transactions.
What fees do I still pay?
Only Stripe fees on online card transactions, such as booking deposits and online checkout.
More detail
If you take cash in-shop, payment processing fee can be 0%.
I have no booking system yet — does this work for me?
Yes. We launch new shops on their own domain in about two weeks, with deposit-protected bookings and SMS reminders from booking #1. Same product, same price, same 0% commission as switchers.
More detail
We build your booking site on your domain, configure deposits and reminders, set up a Google Business Profile pointer so people find you on Maps, and walk your team through the admin. You start on your own brand from day one — not as a tile in a marketplace.
Can you migrate us from Booksy or Fresha?
Yes. We handle the switch with guided onboarding, service/team mapping, and controlled go-live support.
More detail
We configure your services, team, deposits, and reminders before go-live. Where direct data transfer is limited by source platform restrictions, we use the fastest supported migration path and stay in contact throughout. You stay on your current system until everything is ready and confirmed.
Will my clients have to download a new app or register again?
No. Your clients book through your URL on a normal web page — no app install, no account creation. The booking experience feels the same as before, only on your brand.
More detail
If you are switching, the public booking link they have used before redirects to your Kersivo system. From their side, nothing changes except the page they land on now belongs to you. Bookings made on Booksy/Fresha before the switch are honoured there until they expire.
Are you new — do you have other shops using this yet?
We are onboarding founding barbershops in the UK right now while we widen the rollout. Early partners get our full attention, milestone-based pricing (half of setup only once you approve go-live), and an optional KPI check on your live data.
More detail
Open the live admin without signup, inspect the booking flow yourself, compare the pricing page to anything else you evaluate, then decide. If helpful, we can agree one KPI baseline (utilisation, no-show £, or owner ops hours) measured over 28 days after launch.
What if I don't get more bookings after launching?
If we agree a KPI before go-live (utilisation, no-show £, or owner ops hours), we measure it on your data for 28 days post-launch and share the result. Your monthly Care includes ongoing dev time we use to act on what the numbers show.
More detail
Kersivo replaces commission with control — you keep more of every booking and own your client list. The point is your margin per booking, not just booking volume. Within your Care plan we have monthly time to refine your setup based on the measured outcome.
How does this reduce no-shows?
Booking deposits plus reminders increase commitment before appointment time, which reduces empty-chair losses.
More detail
The outcome is fewer dead slots, more paid appointments, and less daily disruption.
What automations are included to recover revenue?
SMS reminders, old-client win-back campaigns, and post-visit review follow-ups are built into your operating flow.
More detail
The point is simple: your team spends less time chasing and more time delivering paid services.
Who controls the client relationship after switching?
You do. Kersivo is set up around your shop operations and direct communication with clients.
More detail
You run under your signage and URLs, not as a pooled listing inside another brand’s client app.
Can I leave? What happens to my data?
Yes. There is no lock-in. You can cancel Ongoing Care at any time, and your booking data, client list, and product catalogue are exportable in standard formats whenever you ask.
More detail
We do not hold your data hostage to keep you on the system. The site, domain, and database are yours — the same way the chairs in your shop are yours. If you ever decide to leave, we hand over what we built and stand down cleanly.
What is the full cost breakdown — are there any charges I have not seen?
No hidden charges. Your complete cost is: setup fee (£199 or £299, one-time) + Ongoing Care (£39/month) + Stripe's standard card processing rate on online transactions.
More detail
Kersivo charges 0% on bookings and retail — always. There are no per-booking fees, no volume surcharges, and no extra monthly charge as you add barbers or increase booking volume. Take cash in-shop and total processing fees can be 0%.
What happens if the setup takes longer than expected, or something goes wrong?
If your setup needs more time, we confirm the revised timeline with you before you commit. We do not move you live until you have reviewed and confirmed everything.
More detail
Switchers stay active on Booksy/Fresha throughout the build. New shops have no deadline pressure either. If a specific data transfer or integration is limited by an external platform, we tell you what is possible and agree the path forward with you.
