Listings & visibility
Where to list your beauty business for free
The problem: You want more people to find you, but you don't want to pay monthly fees just to be listed.
List where clients are already choosing and booking a professional. For independent beauty, grooming, wellness and self-care professionals, that's Nearest: free for new professionals, no monthly fee, and verified students in your city can find you, request a time and pay in one place.
Looking for student clients? List your services on Nearest free — no monthly fee for new professionals, and it works alongside the booking tools you already use.
What "free" should mean
A truly free listing costs nothing to create and nothing per month to keep, and you know up front what happens when a client books. Nearest checks every box:
- No sign-up fee and no monthly fee to stay listed.
- A $5 booking fee per booking, added to the student's total by default so you keep your full price.
- You set your own prices, hours and photos.
- Requests, payments, reminders and appointment-day check-in are handled for you.

- Protected bookings — every booking includes a deposit that's paid to you on a late cancellation or no-show.

Questions
Is a free listing on Nearest really free?
For new professionals, yes: no sign-up fee and no monthly fee. A $5 booking fee applies to each booking (added to the student's total by default), and card processing is deducted from your payout. Nearest doesn't promise bookings.
