In their words

Stylists already using BackBar

Real names and real handles, from stylists running their books on BackBar today.
  • The Vault? That’s my love language. It’s hands down my favorite feature, saving all my formulas and measurements so I never forget a single one…

  • All my clients and stylists in my salon have raved about how user friendly it feels and how aesthetic it is. Needless to say? I’m obsessed!

  • BackBar Pro has quickly become one of my favorite tools behind the chair. I love how it takes the guesswork out of the business side, showing me my busiest days, chair utilization, top services, and opportunities for growth

  • My favorite feature of this app is the inventory tracking. I can put it in the app, take pictures and it inputs it for you. Then I don’t have to worry about what I have on hand when I go to the store.

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.
  • Full service history with formulas and photos on every visit
  • Hair profiles: texture, level, allergies, and sensitivities
  • Digital intake forms and waivers, signed at booking
  • Bring your book with you - import clients from any app

02 · The formula vault

Formulas kept the way a colorist actually mixes.

Lightener, color, toner - brands, weights, developer volumes, processing times. Structured, searchable, and filed into your own color-family folders. Save your go-to mixes to the vault and pull them into any appointment.

03 · The Color Bar

Know what every bowl costs you.

Put your color on a digital shelf and BackBar Pro works out the cost per gram from what you paid for the container. Build a formula and the bowl prices itself, so product stops quietly coming out of your own pocket.
  • Scan a bottle onto the shelf, or add it by hand
  • Cost per gram from the container price, so every bowl prices itself
  • A suggested color charge at your own markup
  • Running low and out badges, with a part-used bottle counted as what is left
  • Included on Premium

04 · The money part

The first booking app that actually helps with your taxes.

No other booking app does this.
You're self-employed - nobody withholds for you, and self-employment tax alone is 15.3% before income tax even starts. BackBar Pro watches what you earn and tells you what to set aside, so April never gets to surprise you.
  • 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

FOUNDING OFFER
First 100 stylists: Premium for $24/mo, locked for life
No spam - one email when we launch. Keep your subscription and your price never goes up.
And everything around the chair

Yes, it does that too.

The small tools that usually cost another subscription, already inside.
Retail & inventory
Sell shampoo at checkout and your shelf count drops on its own, no clipboard required.
Receipts by text
Every client walks out with a real receipt in her messages, no printer, no email typo.
Waitlist
A cancelled slot does not have to sit empty. Offer it to the list and get paid for it anyway.
Deposits & no-shows
Set a deposit on the services that get ghosted, and the app remembers every client who has flaked before.
Client import
Moving your whole book over is a CSV upload, not a weekend of typing names one at a time.
Reports that coach
Your busiest hours, your top spenders, and where your retail attach rate is leaking money, in plain numbers.
Portfolio & testimonials
A gallery of your finished work and the nicest things clients have said, sitting right where people book.
Working hours & time off
Mark a vacation or shorten a Tuesday, and clients simply cannot book into it, no back-and-forth needed.
Switching?

Already using a booking app? Good.

Then you already know what's missing. Export a CSV, and we import your whole book with you - clients arrive intact, and your data stays yours to take back out.
Nothing metered, ever
Other apps
Client caps on the cheap tier, add-on fees for texts, forms, or a second calendar.
BackBar Pro
Unlimited clients, formulas, photos, and bookings on every plan. The price is the price.
A real home for your formulas
Other apps
Formulas scattered across a notes app, old texts, and a paper book.
BackBar Pro
Brand, weights, developer, timing - structured, searchable, and saved to the client they belong to.
The tax help nobody else has
Other apps
A payout report, then good luck in April.
BackBar Pro
What to set aside from your real income, a reminder before every deadline, and a year-end package for your tax pro.
