The honest version
A job pays you a share of your own work
Someone else sets your rate
Salon and spa roles fix your hourly rate regardless of how good you are or how loyal your clients become. Independent therapists price their own work — and raise it when demand says so.
The commission never stops
A 40–50% split is standard in salon work. On a £100 treatment that is £40–£50 gone every single session, forever, on clients you treated and kept.
The clients are not yours
Build a following inside an employer's business and it stays with the business. Build it against your own listing and it follows you wherever you work next.
The rota owns your week
Evenings, weekends and back-to-back doubles are set by a manager. Working for yourself, your availability is a calendar you control.

Who it's for
Built for independent therapists
Mobile therapists
You already travel to clients at home or in hotels. A location-tagged listing puts you in front of the people searching for exactly that in your area.
Sports and remedial therapists
Sports massage is one of the highest-intent searches we see. Clients look for the specialism first and the person second — so list the specialism.
Clinic and room-renting therapists
Renting a room but relying on walk-ins or word of mouth? A profile that ranks fills the gaps in your diary without a booking platform's cut.
Newly qualified therapists
No client list yet is the hardest part of starting out. A findable, professional profile is the fastest route to the first twenty regulars.
How to start
Going independent, step by step
01
Choose a plan
Three flat monthly plans. No commission, no booking fees, no cut of your rate — cancel any time.
02
Get verified
We check your ID, qualifications and public-liability insurance. It is what keeps the directory worth being listed in.
03
Go live and get enquiries
Your profile is written to rank on Google, and clients contact you directly. We never sit between you and your client.
Frequently asked questions
Listing your practice on MaciaLux
No — MaciaLux is not a job board and we are not an employer. We are a UK directory where independent massage therapists advertise their own practice. If you want employed salon or spa work, a job board is the right place. If you want to work for yourself, this is.
Three flat monthly plans: Bronze £29/month, Silver £99/month, Gold £199/month. That is the whole cost — there is no commission, no booking fee and no per-enquiry charge.
See what's in each planNever. Clients contact you directly and pay you directly. Whatever you charge is what you keep — we only ever charge the monthly listing fee.
Yes. Mobile and outcall are among the most searched terms in the UK, and your profile can be tagged to the areas you cover so you appear on those location pages.
See mobile massage locationsSports and deep tissue are consistently the two highest-volume treatment searches on the site. Listing the specialism explicitly is what gets you found for it, rather than being buried under generic 'massage'.
No. Newly qualified therapists are exactly who benefit most — you need to be findable before you have a client list. You will need your qualification and public-liability insurance in place before we can verify you.
Government-issued photo ID, your massage qualification, and current public-liability insurance. Mobile therapists visiting clients at home also complete a background check. Nothing goes live until all of it checks out.
