Already on StyleSeat?
You don’t have to jump. Your clients stay yours: no marketplace listing you next to competitors, no fees for “new” clients who were already coming to you. Setup takes minutes, and you can run Morningside alongside StyleSeat until you’re sure.
When you do move, export your client list first and cancel last. Here’s the order that works.
When StyleSeat is the better pick
If you need card payments, deposits, or calendars for several staff, StyleSeat does those and Morningside doesn’t yet. Morningside is one booking page and one calendar for a pro who books their own clients.
