BookSolo · 5 practical checks
5 checks when you book with an independent business
Find a business, review its profile and confirm the details with the provider before you plan your visit.
Start with the service and area you need
Decide what you need and how far you can travel, then browse profiles. Keep two plausible choices open so you can compare their services and location.
Read the business profile before following a link
Check the business name and location against the service you intend to book. Use the details in the profile to decide whether it is worth opening the booking page.
Choose the exact service on the provider’s page
For a haircut, check whether the listed service includes a beard trim or wash. Review the provider’s current price and duration before choosing a slot.
Check the location and cancellation terms
Make sure the address belongs to the branch where the appointment will take place. Note the provider’s requirements for changing the booking before you confirm.
Save the provider’s confirmation
Keep the confirmed date, time, address and booking reference somewhere you can find them. Use the provider’s stated contact route if you need to make a change.
