LookFresh: booking and payments for the independent shop

You're a barber, stylist, or mobile detailer. You've got a chair or a van, and a line of people who need you. But the admin eats the day: DMs asking for times, Venmo screenshots, no-shows that cost you rent. The big booking platforms charge percentage fees on every cut and feel built for chain salons — not for la gente working chair-by-chair.

LookFresh fixes the grind. You get a clean booking link that fits how the shop actually works. Clients pick a slot, pay online or in person, and the money moves through Stripe Connect straight to your account. No percentage ripped out of every appointment. A flat platform fee keeps the lights on and the shop keeps the rest.

Less chasing. Less confusion. More time for the work.

Why this matters for us: when the platform takes a cut from every sale, the independent hustler bleeds; LookFresh lets la gente keep what they earn.
