The most common worry: „my clients vanished when I left Booksy”. The solution, a gradual, mixed migration. Booksy keeps working while your own records collect new clients in parallel. The full migration path is described on the client records page, here is a summary.
We build your records and import the base from Booksy (from a file). Booksy keeps running in parallel, zero break in serving clients.
New clients book through your system, the old ones stay in Booksy. 30-50% of visits are already in your panel. Before/after photos of new treatments go to the Polish server.
All active clients are already with you. You switch off the subscription, 130 PLN × N people × 12 months stays in your pocket. The setup cost pays back in 5-7 months.

24h
Express tour, session after hours
A cosmetic and podiatry salon in Powisle. The Express tour covered reception, treatment rooms, the sterilisation area and the waiting room. The podiatry part required a GDPR-compliant workflow: uniform LED lighting and a session after opening hours, with no patients in the frame.

Google Business Profile setup + photos + categories + first posts
360° tour, reception + 2-3 rooms, embedded on the website and in the Google Business Profile
Each item leads to its own page. Instead of Booksy ×N people = 4 680 PLN/year for 3 specialists, you get the full set once + 299 PLN/mo just for the Google Business Profile.
Online payments
You can accept deposits and full payments straight on your site. The operator account is yours, money goes directly to you, I only do the integration. I am not a party to the transaction and I do not hold your funds.
You open an operator account
Przelewy24 or Stripe, in your company name. Zero subscription, you pay only a percentage per transaction.
I plug it into the site
BLIK, cards and instant transfers at checkout on your site. The guest pays in seconds, without a detour to an external service with commission.
Money lands with you
Straight from the operator to your bank account. No middleman, no booking platform commission.
Przelewy24default for PL
Stripecards and abroad
Why it's worth it: Booking takes 15-18% of every reservation, Booksy charges a monthly subscription. A payment gateway takes about 1.2-1.5% per transaction and nothing more. On a PLN 600 payment that is the difference between over PLN 100 going to the platform and about PLN 8 in operator fees. The rest stays with you.
You are the seller, so the terms, returns and GDPR are on your side. I help complete them during implementation.
Industry FAQ
The worries we hear from beauticians, podiatrists and studio owners before migrating. Each one answered without boilerplate.
„Will migrating from Booksy put off my regular clients?”
No, the migration is gradual, not overnight. Booksy runs in parallel for 3 months. Regulars book as before, new ones register through your system. After 3 months 30-50% of visits are already in your panel, only then do you switch off the subscription. Full migration process →
„What about GDPR and before/after photos on Booksy?”
Booksy on the Polish plan does not meet GDPR requirements for medical photos, servers in the USA, no access log, limited data export. The Lokal360 records keep photos on a server in Germany (within the EU), with GDPR consents signed digitally and a full access log (who, when, which photos they viewed). Important for a podiatrist, aesthetic medicine, therapeutic massage. When the data protection authority shows up for an audit, you have the documentation.
„I already have good salon photos, do I still need a 360° tour?”
Photos show angles, a tour shows the atmosphere. A premium client (treatments of 200+ PLN) judges the salon before the visit, whether it is clean, atmospheric, professional. A 360° tour gives +60% more bookings compared with photos alone (Google report). For a solo beautician at home it is overkill, for a premium studio / clinic / SPA it is a requirement. Mini 890 PLN = 3-4 panoramas, Standard 1 690 PLN = 8 panoramas.
„I am solo. Records Solo or Team?”
Solo (4 499 PLN) for 1 specialist, up to 500 active clients, a beautician at home, a solo podiatrist, a masseuse. Team (6 999 PLN) for 2-5 specialists with separate calendars, roles and schedules, a typical 3-4 person beauty studio. Network (11 999 PLN) for multi-location with no limit, franchises, salon chains. The rule: if you plan to hire a second person this year, take Team right away.
„Booksy raised the price by 40%, what now?”
Booksy raises prices on average every 18-24 months. A 4-specialist studio after 2 hikes = 700+ PLN/mo = 8,400 PLN/year. The Records Team setup is 6 999 PLN one-time + 0 subscription, a return on the investment in 10-12 months. Every further Booksy hike works in your favour (you no longer pay). Plus your client base stays with you, not in a competitor's app.
„Does the website automatically pull photos from the records?”
Yes, the „Results / Portfolio” gallery on the website automatically shows the before/after photos from the records marked as public. You add a new case in the records (with the client's signed GDPR consent) → the website updates instantly. No manual uploading in two places. Plus an optional Instagram connection, automatic posts with result photos.

Real beauty projects
Two real projects from beauty and podiatry that you can check, plus a model showing how we combine a tour with advertising. We describe projects with facts from the deployment, without adding results we did not measure.
PodoSisters, Warsaw Powisle (cosmetic and podiatry salon). The Express tour covered reception, treatment rooms, the sterilisation area and the waiting room. The podiatry part required a GDPR-compliant workflow: uniform LED lighting and a session after opening hours, with no patients in the frame. The tour went to the Google Business Profile, where clients view the practice on Maps before they book. See the project →
Clan Barbers, Warsaw (barbershop). An Express 24h tour from a LiDAR scan covered the hairdressing stations, reception and lounge zone. A single 35-minute session, published on Google Maps the next day, the Google profile fully optimised visually. We use the same approach in hairdressing and cosmetic salons. See the project →
A 360° tour in a Meta ad. A 360° panorama of the interior and a short clip from a workstation are material that usually stands out against static photos in a Meta ad. A simple pattern works here, movement and depth most often catch the eye in the feed more strongly than a single photo. The actual effect depends on the offer, the budget and the area, so we calculate it individually rather than promising it up front.
What I avoid
After launch
Week 1: Google starts indexing the salon website. I check Google Search Console, approve the sitemap, verify the 360° tour in the Google Maps profile. First appearances in search for branded queries (salon name plus city).
Month 1: Google shows the site for branded queries. The 360° tour appears in the Google profile. The first 20-40 profile views a day. The first direct bookings through the module on the website (instead of Booksy).
Month 3: Google has ranking signals. Appearing in the top 3 on Google Maps for "salon X plus district", "podiatry plus city" queries. 100-200 profile views a day. Growth in new client visits of around 25-40%.
Month 6: Stable top 10 positions for niche queries ("bridal makeup Mokotow", "children's podiatrist Tricity"). The 360° tour generates 30-40% more clicks to the profile. The mailing list collects 80-150 addresses (a base for seasonal campaigns).
What happens next? The Care package (149 PLN a month) keeps the site fast and updates the service pricing. Adding new treatments to the offer as you expand the portfolio. Seasonal pages (lasers for summer, New Year's glamour, Valentine's for couples) for campaigns.
