How Booka Works
Booka helps clients move from an idea to a suitable professional in three clear steps, without requiring a customer account.
How Booka helps you choose
Booka brings essential information together so clients can compare real work before starting a conversation. Public profiles make services, locations, portfolios, and contact options easier to review in one place.
Booka is a discovery marketplace, not the provider of the listed beauty service. Each professional controls their availability, final pricing, service delivery, and appointment arrangements. Clients should confirm important details directly and avoid sending money until they are comfortable with the arrangement.
- Search locally: filter by service, professional name, category, rating, city, or area.
- Review the work: compare portfolio photographs, services, biographies, locations, and ratings.
- Confirm directly: call or message the professional to agree on availability, final price, preparation, timing, and appointment location.
For professionals
Approval is not a lifetime guarantee or endorsement. Booka may request corrections, hide content, suspend discovery, or remove an account when information is inaccurate, duplicated, unsafe, unlawful, or inconsistent with the professional standards.
- Create a professional account through the website or Booka Telegram bot.
- Add accurate service, location, biography, and portfolio information.
- Wait for Booka review before the profile becomes publicly searchable.
- Keep services, photographs, contact information, and availability current.
Before an appointment
Ask what is included in the quoted price, how long the service normally takes, which products will be used, and whether preparation is required. For services involving adhesives, dyes, active skincare ingredients, or tools touching the skin, discuss sensitivities and hygiene practices in advance.
Keep important arrangements in writing where possible. If an offer feels unusually urgent, unclear, or unsafe, pause and contact Booka support.
Prepare for a better appointment
Practical, locally relevant questions to ask when comparing services, discussing hygiene, confirming prices, and preparing for an appointment.
