About KESS

Our Story

KESS (කෙස්), meaning "hair" in Sinhala, started with a simple observation: service professionals were spending too much time managing appointments and not enough time doing what they love - serving their clients.

We saw solo practitioners - hair stylists, massage therapists, personal trainers - struggling with expensive, complicated booking systems designed for large enterprises. We saw small business owners paying for features they'd never use. We knew there had to be a better way.

So we built KESS - simple, affordable, and designed to grow with you. Whether you're a mobile spray tan technician, managing a small wellness center, or running a multi-location spa franchise, KESS gives you exactly what you need at a price that makes sense.

Created by Peppercake, a company dedicated to bringing small businesses online, KESS represents our commitment to making professional software accessible to everyone - not just those with big budgets.

Our Mission

To make professional booking systems accessible and affordable for every service professional - from solo practitioners to multi-location franchises.

What We Believe

Great software doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. KESS is designed with simplicity at its core - no complicated setup, no hidden fees, no features you'll never use.

We believe you should pay for what you need, not what you don't. That's why we offer three clear tiers that match how service businesses actually work - whether it's just you, a small team, or multiple locations.

We believe in transparent pricing, honest communication, and building products that work the way you do.
