Less chaos. More appointments. Happier team.

Multi-Service Studios

One roof. Every service. One system.

A lot of studios have grown beyond tattoo. Maybe you added a piercer last year. Your lead artist started offering PMU. Someone on the team does tooth gems on Fridays. Each service is great — but managing them separately is a mess.

Apprentice keeps everything under one booking page, one calendar, one inbox, and one Walk-In List queue. Your clients don't see four different systems. They just see your studio.

Shop-level service control

You decide which services your shop advertises and accepts walk-ins for. You set the menu; artists work within it.

Artist autonomy, within your setup

Each artist declares exactly what they personally do — their own styles, services, and availability. Clients book the right person, first time.

One booking page for everyone

Tattoo, piercing, PMU, tooth gems — your clients see them all in one place. No juggling multiple links or confusing separate calendars.

Unified Walk-In List

Walk-ins can flag what service they want. You see the whole queue — every artist, every service type — without asking anyone to repeat themselves.

Managed Artists

Your full team, even before they sign up.

You can list artists who aren't on Apprentice yet — forward their bookings, keep their schedule, and hold a spot for them. When they're ready, they claim their profile and take it from there.

Learn about Managed Artists

See the whole shop at a glance.

No more yelling "who's available?" across the room. The reception board shows every artist's status in real-time. Know who's with a client, who's on break, and who's ready for the next walk-in.

Takeaway: Everyone knows what's happening without interrupting anyone.

Busy days, handled.

When you're slammed, add walk-ins to your Walk-In List. Clients browse flash on their phone while waiting. They get a text when you're ready — no one standing around asking "how much longer?"

Takeaway: Organized chaos. Clients wait on their phone, not your floor.

Your team, organized.

Set permissions, manage schedules, and track performance. Every artist gets their own profile. You see everything without micromanaging.

Takeaway: Run a tight ship without the spreadsheets.

One calendar for everyone.

See every artist's schedule in one view. Set shop hours, block holidays, and sync with Google Calendar. Automatic reminders keep no-shows low.

Takeaway: No more scheduling conflicts or missed appointments.

No more end-of-day math.

Deposits, payments, and tips all tracked automatically. Set your commission split and let Apprentice calculate payouts. Everyone knows what they earned.

Takeaway: Money handled. No more awkward cash splits.

Know what's working.

See revenue trends, booking patterns, and artist performance. Understand your busiest days, best sellers, and where you're leaving money on the table.

Takeaway: Data-driven decisions, not gut feelings.

What shop owners are saying

"We used to have walk-ins standing around for an hour asking 'how much longer?' Now they get a text and show up ready. Game changer."
