Lash and Brow Artist Booking and Deposit App (2026)
Lash and brow work lives or dies on the fill calendar and the deposit — a two-hour full set lost to a no-show is a day's revenue. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) holds a card at booking with a stated cancellation window, prices fills by week since last visit, itemizes removals and repairs, and takes payment before the client leaves the chair.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, taken from each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the independent artist's workflow — deposits, fill-interval pricing, rebooking, and getting paid on site — not on multi-chair salon floor management, staff commission splits, or retail inventory systems built for a team.

The chair is the inventory
A full set is two to three hours. Lose it to a no-show at noon and the day’s basically gone — no walk-in fills that hole, and the client who wanted that slot has already booked somewhere else.
Everything about running this business well really comes back to protecting the calendar.

The lines a lash invoice needs
- Full set — classic, hybrid, volume, mega volume
- Fill — priced by weeks since last visit
- Foreign fill — another artist’s work, higher rate
- Removal — its own line
- Lash lift / tint
- Brow lamination, wax, tint, henna
- Repair or fix within a stated window
- Deposit applied / cancellation fee
Price fills by the calendar, not the service
Three weeks out is a different job from two. Interval pricing is really the cleanest way to keep a schedule healthy — it rewards the clients you want and stops you doing near-full sets at fill prices.
Rebook before she gets up
The single most valuable thirty seconds in this trade is booking the next fill while the client’s still in the chair, with the deposit taken on the same card.
Everything else — marketing, promos, discounts — is what artists end up doing instead of that.
Frequently asked questions
How much should the deposit be?
Enough to hurt to lose — commonly 25–50% of a full set, applied to the service. A deposit smaller than the cost of your time is a formality, not a policy, and clients treat it exactly that way.
How should fills be priced?
By weeks since the last visit — two-week, three-week, and anything beyond that as a full set. Pricing every fill the same rewards the client who waited five weeks and punishes the one who came back on schedule.
Do I need salon software as a solo artist?
Not the multi-chair kind. A solo artist needs booking with a deposit, service pricing that reflects fill intervals, and payment in the room — front-desk workflows and commission splits are built for a team you don't have.
How do I handle removals and other artists' work?
Price removal as its own line, and quote foreign fills at a higher rate or decline them. Correcting someone else's set takes longer than a new set and clients who understand that up front rarely argue the number.
