For clients
How do I book an appointment?
Open Discover, pick an artist or salon you like, then press Book on their
page. Choose your services and a time, and you’re done — the confirmation lands in your
dashboard and your email. You’ll need a free account first (one tap with Google).
Do I need an account to book?
Yes — a free client account, so your bookings, messages and history stay in one
place. Creating one takes under a minute at madeforartist.com/join, or one tap with
Continue with Google.
How do I cancel or change a booking?
Go to your dashboard, open the appointment and press cancel — then book
the new time you want. If the business took a deposit, their deposit policy (shown when you booked)
says how that’s handled.
Why was I asked to pay a deposit?
Some businesses turn on no-show protection: a small deposit holds your slot and
comes off your bill. It’s always shown before you confirm, and the money goes to the business
— never to us.
How do I save my favourite shops?
Tap the heart on any artist or salon page. You can keep up to five in
My shops, and pick between them when you book.
What does the blue Verified badge mean?
The business chose to be verified and a real person at Made For Artist
confirmed their business details by hand before the badge switched on. Look for the blue seal on
Discover and on profile photos.
What are the free phone alerts?
Add madeforartist.com to your phone’s home screen and allow notifications
— you’ll get instant alerts for bookings, changes and cancellations. Free, unlimited,
no text-message fees.
How do I report a problem or another member?
Made For Artist is PG-13 — no profanity, no explicit content, no
harassment. Open a ticket below with the topic Report a problem or a member and tell us what
happened (a screenshot helps). A person reviews every report.
For artists & businesses
How do I get my own booking page?
Join as an Artist (solo) or Business (salon with a team) at
madeforartist.com/join. You pick your name, and your bookable page goes live at
madeforartist.com/your-name — free forever.
What does the free plan include?
Your booking page, unlimited bookings, your Discover listing, two-way reviews,
free phone alerts and a photo gallery. Paid extras can be added one at a time — full details
at
madeforartist.com/pricing.
How do deposits and payments reach me?
You connect your own free Helcim payment account, so deposits and payments go
directly to you. Made For Artist never holds your money.
How do I add my team?
On the Business plan, open My team in your studio — staff and
reception get their own logins, and you choose what each role can see.
How do I get the Verified badge?
Turn on the Verified badge add-on in your studio’s Add-ons shop. We
confirm your business details by hand, then the blue seal appears on your Discover listing and your
profile photo. You can switch it off anytime.
How do I advertise on Made For Artist?
Two honest options at
madeforartist.com/advertise: the
self-serve
Top Shop spotlight on Discover, or a
Promoted campaign you apply for —
from 3 days to a full year. Every ad is reviewed by a person, and paid spots are always clearly
marked. Organic rankings are never for sale.
What happens when a client no-shows?
Mark the appointment as missed and it records a strike on that client’s
reliability record — which follows them across businesses on the platform. With no-show
protection on, clients with a history are asked for a deposit before they can take a slot.
Account & billing
I forgot my password.

Forgot password on the sign-in page — or if
your account email is a Google address, just press
Continue with Google.
How do I cancel a paid plan or add-on?
Anytime, from Billing or Add-ons in your studio. No contracts, no
cancellation fee — and your clients and booking history stay yours, with a free full export
under Your data.
Can I sign in with Google?
Yes — if your Google email matches your account email, it signs you straight
in. New here? The same button creates your account in one tap.
