You keep control.
Other platforms decide who sees your profile, what you can charge, and when you show up in search. On Rooted, you set your prices, your deposit terms, your cancellation policy. Clients book the slots you release. Your business, your rules.

Fresha new-client commission
Booksy new-client commission
Rooted Bloom commission
No surprise fees.
The platforms that call themselves free make their money when new clients find you through their marketplace. Fresha charges 20% on those bookings. Booksy charges 30%. Rooted Bloom is 4%, flat, on every booking. No hidden charges, no volume traps, no SMS add-ons.
Made for London. Made for the community.
Every borough has its own scene. Clients in Hackney want something different from clients in Richmond. Rooted is built around that. You list by borough, clients search by area. No algorithm deciding who is relevant where.

Fair play is built in.
One-sided cancellations cost independent stylists real money. You block out time, turn away other clients, and absorb the loss. Rooted holds clients accountable automatically. Late cancellations trigger your policy. No-shows forfeit their deposit. You earn what you earn.
