Leaving Timely: what UK salons do next
A 3-chair salon on Timely pays about £65 a month, rising with bookings, which is why salons leave for Revyfy at £39.99 flat on their busiest week of the year.
A Timely bill rises with the bookings a salon takes, and a waitlist, consultation forms and cancellation fees sit on a higher plan than they started on. The move to Revyfy is done for you during a 7-day trial, £39.99 flat, no VAT added, unlimited staff, zero commission.

Who is Revyfy?
On Timely you pay more as you take more bookings, and the waitlist and consultation forms sit on a higher plan. Revyfy includes both in one flat £39.99 a month, no VAT added, unlimited staff, zero commission. Our team moves you over from Timely during the 7-day free trial, no card needed.
Why UK salons leave Timely
UK salons leave Timely because the bill moves with the business. Timely's UK pricing is per week and rises with the number of bookings taken: Run from £4 a week, Boost from £7 and Thrive from £9.
On top of that, a waitlist, consultation forms, cancellation fees and SMS marketing campaigns all sit on the Boost plan rather than the entry Run plan, and stock, rebooking reminders and accounting integrations sit on Thrive higher still. Staff-specific pricing is a further add-on at £8 a week. A salon that started on Run can find several of the features it actually wants sit on a plan above it.
Put together, that is a bill that moves with the week and a set of features spread across three plans, rather than a fixed figure and a full feature set a salon can plan a budget around.
What a Timely salon pays once it has a waitlist and forms
A 3-chair salon wanting a waitlist, consultation forms, cancellation fees and staff-specific pricing pays about £65 a month on Timely, rising with bookings. Revyfy is £39.99 flat, whatever the week looks like and whatever the team size.

What Revyfy moves for you when you leave Timely
Your future appointments move across intact, on the right day and time, with the right staff member. All of the following moves with Revyfy, and our team does it for you:
- Future appointments. Everything already booked in your diary, on the right day and time, with the right staff member.
- Client list and notes. Contact details, visit history and any notes on file.
- Services and prices. Your existing service list and how each one is priced.
- Gift card balances. What is outstanding on any gift card a client has bought.
- Stock levels. Current quantities for anything you sell or use.
- Staff. Your team, their roles and what they are booked to deliver.
Running both systems side by side
You start a 7-day trial and tell us you are coming from Timely. From there, the Revyfy team moves your staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock across for you.
You can run both systems side by side for as long as you need, checking that everything looks right before committing to anything. Timely keeps running until you choose to go live on Revyfy, so there is no gap where the salon is without a working system.
Nothing is switched over publicly until you decide it is ready. You choose when to share your new booking link and when to stop taking bookings on the old system, so the pace of the move stays in your hands throughout the trial. Revyfy has no contract: cancel any time.
What changes for your clients
Very little changes for your clients: they book on your own branded page, at your own link, in place of Timely's booking page and branded website. Reminders continue as before, and there is nothing for a client to do or set up. Revyfy gives them your own booking page at your own link.
Your existing clients are yours: their history, notes and future appointments move with you, and they carry on booking with your salon the same as always.
What Revyfy costs after the switch
Revyfy is £39.99 a month, flat, no VAT added, for unlimited staff and zero commission on any booking. The price includes online booking on your own branded page, the diary, POS, client records with notes and consent forms, reminders, email and SMS marketing, custom forms, a waitlist, deposits with a shown cancellation policy, and rooms and equipment booking. Loyalty points and treats are in it too.
Tell Revy to offer Saturday's freed slot to the waitlist and it does it, once you confirm. Revy AI is free for your first 2 months, then £24.99 a month.

During your 7-day free trial, no card needed, the Revyfy team moves your data over from Timely: staff, clients, notes, services, future appointments, gift cards and stock all come across, so you are not starting from a blank system on day one.
