Many UK salons start on Fresha because it's free and easy.
But as your business grows, common frustrations appear:
Marketplace fees reduce profit
Clients book through Fresha instead of you
Hard to build loyal direct clients
Upsells and add-ons increase costs
If you want more control and independence, it may be time to switch.
Unlike Fresha, Booklyn is not a marketplace.
It's your own salon system — focused on managing your clients, bookings and business directly.
Complete control over your salon's identity
Direct relationships that you own
Keep more profit in your pocket
