What's new in Mila

The setting on each client is now called Booking access, with Can book, Needs approval and Blocked. It sits in one row on the client's page showing the current setting. Tap it to open the choices and the private reason.

Find it on the Mila website dashboard (dashboard.milabook.com): Clients, then the client. In the Mila app: Clients, then the client.

The Me tab in the app is now grouped into Booking, Payments, Calendar, Account, Earn with Mila and Help & support, the same way as Settings on the dashboard, with Team too when you work with a team.

Find it in the app: Me.

In the app, each booking rule now shows its explanation in full, with your current choice in its own box underneath. Tap the rule to change it, as before.

Find it in the app: Me, then Booking rules, under Booking.

Once you choose a plan, Plans & billing shows the day your trial ends and exactly what your first payment will be, after any discount or credit.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Plans & billing.

See when your next payout is expected and how much, what's waiting to clear, and every payout Stripe has sent to your bank.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Payment methods. In the app: Me, then Payouts, under Payments, once card payments are set up.

Settings on the dashboard are now grouped into Booking, Payments, Team, Calendar and Account. Stripe is under Payment methods, and Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and the calendar colors are under Calendar sync.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings.

Set a client's Booking access to Needs approval or Blocked, with a private reason only you see. The client is simply asked to contact you, and you can still book them yourself.

Find it on the dashboard: open a client, then Booking access. In the app: open a client, then Booking access. Filter your client list by it too.

Turn it on and clients confirm their appointment with a quick text reply or a tap, agreeing to your policies as they go. See who has confirmed and who hasn't replied, and download a PDF record of every step.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Booking rules. In the app: Me, then Booking rules.

Clients can add more than one service to the same visit on your booking page, and you can do the same on New appointment. Choose how many services a booking can hold, or turn it off.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Booking rules. In the app: Me, then Booking rules.

Lash lifts and brow services now have their own details to record after each visit, just like lash extensions. A visit with more than one service keeps the details for each.

Find it in the app: open an appointment, then Service details.

A small star marks a client's first visit on your Schedule, and "New client" shows beside their name.

Find it in the app: Schedule.

Tap a notification and the app opens the appointment or client it is about. Four new ones you can switch on or off: a new client books, a deposit is paid, a payment comes in, and an intake form is filled in.

Find it in the app: Me, then Notifications.

Your booking page now loads in one go, so clients see your services sooner.

Want to say yes before a booking is made? Turn on approval and clients who book online send you a request instead. The time is held, nothing is charged, and a deposit is only held on their card until you approve. Choose everyone, or new clients only, and how long you have to answer. Approve or decline from the dashboard or the app, with a note if you like.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Booking rules. In the app: Me, then Booking rules.

Your booking page now has an Hours section with your weekly hours and your upcoming days off. Your page also shares your business details, hours included, in a form Google can read. Rather keep them to yourself? Two switches hide your hours or your days off, each on its own.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Booking page, then What clients see.

Write your own pages, like an aftercare guide or your studio policies, and post to a blog with cover photos and scheduled posts. Both show on your booking page, and both now come with the Professional plan and above.

Find it on the dashboard: Pages, or Blog.

Your monthly goal and where you stand, revenue with tips shown on their own, your rebook rate, clients to win back and what's still to use on your gift cards, all on one page. Every other report is one click away.

Find it on the dashboard: Reports.

What clients see, your social links and your page's look now sit together. Choose whether clients see your phone number, your full address, your hours and your days off, add your social links, and pick your colors and fonts, all in one place.

Find it on the dashboard: Settings, then Booking page.

Mila no longer takes any fee on bookings, deposits, tips, gift cards or course sales. You only pay Stripe's standard card processing, and nothing on top.

Open an upcoming appointment and tap Repeat. Choose every 1 to 8 weeks and how many visits, and Mila checks every date for conflicts before anything is booked. Change one visit, or the whole series, in a tap.

Find it in the app: open an upcoming appointment, then Repeat.

Some clients always need a little longer. Add 15 minutes to 2 hours to a client's profile, and every new appointment for that client gets the extra time automatically. The client never sees it, and the price stays the same.

Find it in the app: open a client, tap Edit, then Extra time.

Your booking page now asks "Have you booked before?" Returning clients sign in with a quick code, see only times that fit, and check out with their details already filled in. New clients book exactly as before.

Clients choose the service, days and times they want. When a spot opens, tap Notify and they get that exact time by email and text, with a link that books it, even when your books are closed. After a cancellation, Mila suggests who on your waitlist fits. And when a service has no openings in the next 30 days, your booking page offers the waitlist on its own.

Find it in the app: Me, then Waitlist.

Fully booked? Your regulars keep booking as normal, and new clients can join your waitlist instead.

Find it in the app: Me, then Booking rules, then Accepting bookings.

At checkout, tap Continue to tip and hand over the phone. Your client chooses a tip (or no tip), then how to pay, then reviews the total before paying.

The Schedule now has Day, 3-day and Week views, color coded by service, with client names on every appointment.

Open spots to fill, clients due to rebook, and appointments to close out, all on your Home screen. Set a monthly goal on the Business tab and see exactly where you stand.

Share your link with another artist. Your friend gets $15 off a first bill, and you get $15 off yours after their first month. There's no limit.

Find it in the app: Me, then Refer a friend.
