Built for the job

Prep notes clients actually read

Send arrival instructions with every confirmation - hair washed, blown out, no product - so your chair time is spent braiding, not fixing.

  • Deposits and balances per appointment
  • Automatic confirmations and reminders
  • Every client and their history in one list

One dashboard

Your whole week, on your phone

Today's schedule, this week's earnings, outstanding balances and every upcoming appointment - the things braiders usually keep in three different apps.

  • Calendar, payments and clients together
  • Google Calendar sync both ways
  • Reports that show what actually earns
Your whole week, on your phone
