01 · Client memory

Walk into every appointment already knowing.

What you used last time, what she didn't love, the allergy note, the photo of the finish - pulled up before she's in the chair. Every client, every visit, kept forever.

Maya Reyes

Client for 2 years · comes every 6 weeks

Last visit

Balayage + Gloss · 6 weeks ago

Formula

BlondMe 30g + 20 vol · Shades EQ 9V + 9T

Allergies

PPD - use amine-free gloss

Note to self

"Wants to go brighter for her sister's wedding in May."

02 · The formula vault

Formulas kept the way a colorist actually mixes.

Lightener, color, toner - brands, weights, developer volumes, processing times. Structured, searchable, and attached to the client, not buried in your notes app. Save your go-to mixes to the vault and pull them into any appointment.

04 · The money part

The first booking app that actually helps with your taxes.

You're self-employed - nobody withholds for you. BackBar Pro watches what you earn and tells you what to set aside, so tax season stops being a surprise.

Federal + state estimates from your real income

Reminders before every quarterly deadline

A Schedule C-ready package at year end

Expense tracking with deduction categories

No other booking app does this.

Estimates are for planning, not tax advice - confirm filings with your tax professional.

And everything around the chair

Yes, it does that too.

The small tools that usually cost another subscription, already inside.

Retail & inventory

Stock counts update themselves when you sell product at checkout.

Receipts by text

A branded receipt lands in her messages before she reaches the car.

Waitlist

A cancellation stops costing money - fill the slot from your list.

Deposits & no-shows

Flat or percent deposits at booking, and the record remembers who flaked.

Client import

Bring your whole book over from a CSV - we handle the import with you.

Reports that coach

Busiest hours, retail attach rate, top clients, and where to improve.

Portfolio & testimonials

Your best finishes and kindest words, right on your booking page.

Working hours & time off

Block a trip or a Tuesday; your booking page respects it instantly.

Pricing

Two plans. Nothing metered.

Unlimited clients, formulas, and photos on every plan. Every trial starts on Premium so you can feel the whole thing. No contracts, cancel anytime.
