About Us

6Ponds is a wellness marketplace — one place to find local salons, spas, and body-care services, compare what they offer, and book appointments online.

We're new, and we say that plainly. Providers are joining city by city, bookable services are going live every week, and we're building 6Ponds to work the way people actually search for self-care today — not like a leftover classifieds site.

Why we built 6Ponds

Booking a massage, facial, chiropractic visit, or salon appointment shouldn't mean digging through vague listings, guessing at pricing, or playing phone tag to get on the calendar.

Customers deserve clear service details, real business profiles, and online booking where it's available. Providers deserve more than a buried ad and a contact form. We started 6Ponds to close that gap: discovery and booking built specifically for wellness — not everything else.

What you can do today

For customers

• Search by category, location, and price
• Explore provider profiles with photos, services, and reviews
• Book online where scheduling is turned on
• Pay by card at checkout where the provider has online payments enabled
• Save favorites and message businesses with questions

For providers

• Create a free business profile and list your services
• Add photos, pricing, and availability for each offering
• Accept online bookings and, where enabled, collect payment at checkout
• Connect Stripe from your dashboard to receive booking payouts to your bank
• Reach customers who are actively searching for wellness care nearby

Online booking & payments

6Ponds is a wellness marketplace with built-in online booking. When a provider turns on scheduling and card checkout, customers can reserve a service and pay securely on the site. Payments are processed by Stripe; payouts go to the provider’s connected Stripe account.

Listing on 6Ponds is free. When a customer pays online through 6Ponds, a 2% platform fee applies (minimum $0.50 per transaction). That fee is what 6Ponds earns for facilitating the booking — separate from Stripe’s card processing fees.

This is online marketplace checkout — not an in-spa POS or card terminal. It is built for customers who discover and book you on 6Ponds.

What we believe

• Wellness should be easy to find. Self-care belongs in everyday life, not hidden behind clunky search and outdated listings.
• Local businesses deserve a real presence online. Profiles should look professional and support bookings — not read like generic marketplace ads.
• Trust is earned. Clear information, transparent pricing, and honest reviews help everyone choose with confidence.
• We improve by listening. As a growing platform, feedback from customers and providers shapes what we build next.

Where we're headed

Our goal is to become the most useful place to discover and book wellness services in every community we serve — with sharper search, smoother booking, and tools that help providers grow, not just list.

If you run a wellness business, we'd love to have you on the platform early. If you're looking for your next appointment, explore what's live near you and check back as we add more cities and providers.
