How it works

From the booking to the bowl.

  1. Book it

    Clients book themselves, deposit included.

    Your booking page shows your services and open times, takes the deposit, and puts the appointment on your calendar.

  2. Remember the formula

    Every formula, in your vault.

    Lightener, toner, developer and timing, saved to the client and the visit, so the next appointment starts from what worked.

  3. Know your bowl costs

    See what each bowl costs you.

    On Premium, the Color Bar works out cost per gram from what you paid, so every formula prices itself.

  4. Get paid

    Get paid, tip included.

    Charge the card on file, text a payment link or show your QR code, with tips and receipts handled and every dollar in your reports.

Made for your profession

Tools made for hair.

The formula vault, the Color Bar and extension records, for the color work at the back bar.

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.

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

Extension records

Every set, every placement, remembered.

Install day gets its own record: the brand, the method, the length, the packs used, and exactly where each set sits on her head. Tap the diagram to mark placement, and if she wears two or three sets at once, each one gets its own color on the map. Six weeks later you open it and pick up right where you left off.
  • A full record per set: brand, line, color, length, wefts, method, and packs used
  • Tap the head diagram to mark exactly where each set was placed, from the back, left, and right
  • Multiple sets on one client, each with its own color on the map
  • Maintenance visits pull up the previous install, so move-ups and removals start prefilled
  • Install photos land in her photo history automatically
