Engineered for client peace of mind and independent artist efficiency.
Stripe Escrow Deposit Protection
When you accept an offer, funds are authorized and held in escrow via Stripe. The technician knows the slot is secured, while your money is never handed over upfront. Funds release only after you inspect the finished set and confirm treatment completion in your atelier portal.
Calendar Grid & Buffer Routing
Specialists set their working schedule, rest intervals, and mobile travel radiuses. Our engine verifies availability in real time so you only match with artists who can genuinely accommodate your slot—eliminating double bookings and ghosting.
