Fresha launches appointment deposits features

Fresha Deposits enables partner salons and spas to customise any deposit required to be paid in advance of appointments, and help to prevent the thousands of pounds lost within the industry through no shows.

Salons are free to customise the level of deposit and who is required to pay it, with advanced options to customise the amount depending on the service being booked.

Commenting on the new feature, Fresha co-founder Nick Miller says:

"Fresha has already processed over 250 million appointments, so reducing revenue loss from no-shows and late cancellations makes a huge difference to individual businesses, and the global industry. Deposits will revolutionise how our partners manage this issue, so we're delighted to make it available.”

The company has also revealed that beauty tycoon Huda Kattan has invested in the booking platform. 

Huda is founder of a multi-billion-dollar cosmetics brand Huda Beauty and chairwoman of HB Investments, with 50 million followers on Instagram. Commenting on her involvement with Fresha, Huda Kattan says:
