Looking for a Treatwell alternative? If a public marketplace is taking a cut of your bookings — even from clients who are already yours — Wiiz is a private, commission-free booking platform built for salons in Greece and Cyprus. You keep your clients, your reviews, and 100% of every appointment.

Why salon owners look for a Treatwell alternative

Marketplaces can bring new customers, and that has real value. But many owners tell us the trade-offs add up:

  • A commission on every booking — owners report it can reach 20–25%, so always check their current terms
  • You can pay that commission even on your own regulars, who already know and trust you
  • Your salon appears right next to competitors, so the reputation you built is shared with the shop next door
  • Your clients, their contact details and your reviews live inside the platform — if you leave, you risk losing them

Treatwell and Fresha: the marketplace trade-off

To be fair: if your main goal is to be discovered by strangers searching a marketplace, Treatwell or Fresha can help with reach — just keep the commission cost in mind and check their current terms. The real question is whether you are paying marketplace prices to serve customers who are already yours.

How Wiiz is different: private, not a marketplace

  • €0 platform fee — no monthly subscription, no setup cost, no contract
  • No commission on bookings — you keep 100% of every appointment, new and returning clients alike
  • A private booking channel — only your own customers (those whose phone number is on file) can see and book, so you never appear next to competitors
  • Your clients and their data stay yours — the relationship belongs to your business
  • Pay only for what you use: SMS reminders from €0.06 and optional in-app bookings at €0.10
  • Direct, local support by phone and online, made in Cyprus for Greece and Cyprus

  • Add your services, staff and working hours
  • Keep your own client list — they stay your customers
  • Turn on SMS and push reminders to reduce no-shows
