StyleSeat alternative for beauty pros
A StyleSeat Alternative That Brings You the Clients
StyleSeat gives beauty pros booking, payments and marketing in one place, and promotes them to clients. Slad is built around one result: new clients in your chair, booked while you work.
What StyleSeat is
StyleSeat describes itself as a booking, payments and marketing platform for beauty and wellness pros. You set up your profile, services and calendar, take deposits for no-show protection, and answer new-client requests. StyleSeat promotes pros through its own marketplace and search, and says it also promotes them across search, social and paid ads. Its New Client Connection is optional on its Premium plan; when it is on, StyleSeat takes a share of a new client's first appointment.

| What you get | A booking, payments and marketing platform you set up and run | New clients, booked into your chair |
| Where new clients come from | StyleSeat's marketplace and its promotion, plus your own marketing | Slad brings them to you |

Which one fits you
If you want a full platform you run, with a marketplace behind it, StyleSeat is built for that. If you want new clients booked into your chair without running another platform, that is what Slad is for.
