Everything You Need
Built specifically for hair colorists — not generic salon software that barely handles formulas.
Complete Formula Records
Brand, shade, developer, ratio, timing, technique, result — every detail captured. Save templates, pin favorites, and add multiple formulas per visit.
Before & After Photos
Snap photos right from your phone. Full-screen viewer, side-by-side comparisons, and a photo gallery per client. Auto-compressed for fast uploads.
Cross-Reference Search
Search across all clients by brand, shade, technique, or date range. Filter results and find what worked — then replicate it instantly.
Allergy & Patch Test Tracking
Tag-based allergy input with 150+ known allergens. Log patch tests, get automatic reminders when tests are overdue, and search clients by sensitivity.
Inventory Management
Track product stock with brand autocomplete, adjust quantities with +/− buttons, get low-stock alerts, and export a reorder list in one click.
Color Intelligence
Correction calculator, shade equivalency charts, pigment reference, mixing calculator, and analytics — all the tools a colorist needs in one place.
Multi-Stylist Teams
Invite stylists, assign roles, transfer clients, view performance analytics, and manage your salon — all on the Salon plan.
Analytics Dashboard
Track retention rate, growth trends, busiest days, most-used brands, and per-stylist performance. Know your business at a glance.
