Everything you need to know about booking local services with Lokali
Lokali is a service booking platform that connects customers with verified local service providers. Think of it as the modern alternative to Yelp - but instead of just reading reviews, you can actually book appointments directly. We cover auto services, beauty, home services, wellness, and more across California.
Lokali is completely free for customers. You can browse, compare, and book services without paying any platform fees. You only pay the service provider directly for the work they do.
Lokali covers 750+ service categories including:
All providers on Lokali go through our verification process. Verified providers display a green checkmark badge. We check business licenses, insurance where applicable, and monitor ongoing customer ratings. You can also read real reviews from other customers before booking.
Yes! Lokali lets you book appointments anytime - day or night. No more waiting for business hours to call and schedule. Browse available time slots and book instantly, even at 2am.
Lokali currently covers all of California, including major metros like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Orange County, Inland Empire, and Sacramento. We're expanding to more states soon.
Lokali charges a flat $5 booking fee per confirmed appointment. That's it. No monthly fees, no annual contracts, no hidden charges. You only pay when you actually get a real customer booking.

Both! Lokali works as a website (lokali.ai) and as a mobile app available on iOS and Android. The experience is seamless across all devices.
Customers pay a small $5 booking deposit to secure their appointment (this goes to the provider as the booking fee). The remaining balance is paid directly to the service provider - either in person or through their preferred payment method.
Customers can cancel or reschedule through the Lokali app up to 24 hours before their appointment. Providers can also reschedule if needed. We send automatic reminders to reduce no-shows.
You can reach our support team at support@lokali.ai or through the in-app chat. We typically respond within a few hours during business days.
