Who we are
I built Kiexus after watching my barber lose booking after booking to WhatsApp messages that never got answered fast enough. The fix seemed obvious — automate the reply, sync the calendar, done. So I built it.
Most booking software is one-size-fits-all. A barber doesn't work like a nail tech. A solo beautician doesn't work like a 6-chair salon. Kiexus gets set up around how you actually work — your services, your hours, your language, your clients.
That's why we talk to every business before we build anything. No generic onboarding. No settings to figure out yourself. Just a system that works the way you do, live within a week.
— Luke Barry, Founder · Based in Surrey
Whether you're a barber, nail tech, beautician or salon owner — every feature is tailored to how you actually work. Not generic tools bolted on.
Your client list is yours. We never cross-sell, lock you in, or show competitor listings on your profile.
We handle setup end-to-end. Most clients are live and taking automated bookings within five working days.
Pricing in GBP, support in UK hours, built around the UK beauty and barbering market.
When a client messages your WhatsApp number to book, Kiexus takes over automatically. It checks your availability, confirms the slot, sends a reminder before the appointment, and logs everything to a live client spreadsheet - all without you lifting a finger.
The system integrates with Google Calendar and uses Twilio's WhatsApp Business API, which means messages come from your existing WhatsApp number and feel completely native to your clients.
Kiexus is offered on three tiers - Starter (£49/month), Growth (£79/month), and Pro (£109/month) - with no long-term contracts and a free setup worth £299 for founding clients.
We're a small team and we answer every message ourselves. Reach us at hello@kiexus.com.
