Mobile makeup artists: bookings, deposits, and day-of card taps in one place

Last updated: August 13, 2026

What Tavvi is for mobile makeup artists: a page that books you and gets you paid — for $0 a month. You get a public page at your own handle that shows your work and takes the order AND the payment, a booking calendar, customer chat, and a register in your pocket: your iPhone takes tap-to-pay cards at the client’s venue with no extra hardware.

How it works day to day

Clients pick a service and a time window from your page and pay online. Day-of add-ons get charged with a tap of their card on your iPhone — no reader in your kit bag.

Your page, your calendar, your payments, and your client chat live in one place instead of four apps taped together.

What your page does

Takes real orders for bridal makeup, event glam, lessons — buyers pay on the web with no app and no account.
Books time with a calendar that shows what is actually open.
Answers questions in a built-in chat, so your customer conversations stop living in DMs.
Takes cards in person — Tap to Pay on iPhone means the phone you already own is the card reader.
Keeps one count across in-person and online, so nothing sells twice.

What it costs

$0 a month. No subscription, ever.
Online orders: 3.5% + 30¢ all-in — card processing is already inside that number, not on top of it.
In person: 0.5% on top of standard card processing.
Cash sales at the register: free.

Compare that with $29–$99/month link-in-bio subscriptions, or free tiers that keep 9–12% of every sale. The math is on the comparison pages.

When Tavvi isn’t the pick

If you run a full premise operation — a dining room with servers, a kitchen display rail, table maps — you are shopping for restaurant POS, and Toast or Square for Restaurants will fit better. Tavvi is built for one person selling real work from wherever they are.
