Goldie alternative for independent beauty pros
Goldie has a loyal following among independent stylists, barbers, nail and lash techs, and it is easy to see why: it is designed around one person running their own chair, with a clean app and a booking link clients can use. At the time of writing, it is built mainly as an iPhone app.
Reservy covers the same ground from a different angle. It runs in any browser, so it works the same on an iPhone, an Android phone, a tablet at the front desk or a laptop at home, and it grows with you when you add a second chair. Try 3 days free, no card · then 10 USD/month.

What Goldie does well
Goldie focuses on the solo beauty professional, and that focus shows. Scheduling, client notes and a personal booking link are front and center, and the app is pleasant to use between clients. If you work alone, use an iPhone and like having everything in one native app, Goldie may be exactly right for you.
Why some pros look elsewhere
The questions we hear most come from three situations. Your phone is Android, or you want to work from a computer as well. You are adding a second stylist or renting a chair to someone and want each person in their own column. Or you serve clients who prefer Spanish, Portuguese, French or German and want the booking page in their language.
In each of those cases a browser-based tool with team columns and several languages can be the simpler path.
What you get with Reservy
Your clients open reservy.co/your-name, choose the service, the day and an open time, and leave their name and phone number. The appointment lands in your calendar and you get a notification by email or push.
- Works in any browser on iPhone, Android, tablet or computer.
- A column per person when you add a team member, each with their own login.
- Buffer time before and after each service, for cleanup or processing.
- Automatic email confirmations and reminders 1 to 48 hours before.
- Repeat appointments every 1 to 4 weeks for regulars, up to 12 ahead.
- Client profiles with visits, notes, tags, spend and no-shows.
- Booking page and app in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.
What Reservy does not do
Reservy does not take card payments or deposits, does not sell products and does not send automatic text messages. If collecting deposits in the app is a must for you, compare that point carefully before switching.
Moving over without losing clients
Set up your services and hours, then swap the link in your Instagram bio and Google Business Profile. Enter upcoming appointments by hand; every new booking adds the client to your list automatically. Regulars who come every three or four weeks can get a repeating series right away, so the first month is already in the calendar.
