Built for appointment-first studios

From first consultation to final touch-up, inkStar keeps every interaction connected across devices, even when you go offline.

  • Deposit-Based No-Show Protection

    • Automated SMS and email appointment reminders
    • Deposit retained on no-show to protect your revenue
