Hair salon and beauty software in Quebec
Your bookings, your till and your client files, finally in one place.
A complete app for your salon: online booking with deposits, a till with tips, client files with colour formulas, products, gift cards and commissions. Your clients book from their phone, in an app with your name on it.
What you still do by hand
Bookings come in through Messenger, texts and the phone, even in the middle of a colour.
Your clients book online, from their phone, in your team’s free times.
A client who doesn’t show up means an empty chair and nothing to pay for it.
A deposit to book, and no-show fees charged to their card on file, under the policy they accepted.
Colour formulas are on index cards, when you can find them.
The formula, the patch test and the before and after photos are in each client’s file.
Tips and commissions get worked out by hand at the end of the period.
The till records everyone’s tips, and commissions add up on their own for each pay period.
Everything it takes to run a salon
One app for the front desk, the till and your team. Nothing to install: it opens in the browser, on a computer, a tablet or a phone.
Online booking
Deposits to book, processing times when you can take another client, repeating appointments, a reminder the day before.
No-shows and waiting list
Late cancellation and no-show fees under your policy. A time that opens up is offered to the waiting list.
Till with GST and QST
Tips, cash rounded to 5 ¢, Stripe or Square terminal, Interac, split payments and the day’s cash close.
Client files
Colour formula, hair and scalp, nails, lashes. A warning when a colour is booked without a patch test.
Photos and consent forms
Before and after photos with the client’s consent, and forms signed online before lashes, waxing or a facial.
Due to come back
Each service has its rebooking delay. The app lists clients who are due with nothing booked, and you remind them in one tap.
Products, gift cards and loyalty
Stock that follows sales, low-stock alerts, supplier orders, gift cards sold online and loyalty points.
Commissions
Percentages on services and products, tiers and tips, per pay period. Everyone sees their own numbers.
What it looks like
Screenshots of the demo app: the business and the people are made up.
For your clients: a salon they can book online.
Your clients get their own space in your colours, which they add to their phone’s home screen like an app. No App Store, no password to remember: a link is all it takes. After their visit, the app can ask them for a Google review.

Frequently asked questions
Can my clients book online and leave a deposit?
Yes. You choose which services need a deposit, an amount or a percentage, paid by card with Stripe or Square in your own account. The time is held while they pay, and the deposit comes off at the till.
Can I charge for no-shows and last-minute cancellations?
Yes. You set the free cancellation delay and your fees. A client who keeps a card on file accepts your fees policy, and the fee goes on their card when you note the no-show. Without a card, they get a link to pay.
Can I import my data from Fresha?
Yes. The app recognises Fresha’s exports: clients, appointments, products and gift cards, which keep their code. For Square Appointments, Booksy, Vagaro and GOrendezvous, it shows you what to export, step by step. Nothing is sent to your clients during the import.
Does it work with my card terminal?
A Stripe reader or a Square Terminal gets the amount straight from the till. With another terminal, you note the payment once it’s through. Cash and Interac e-Transfers are taken at the till too.
My team is paid on commission. Does the app work it out?
Yes: a percentage on services and products, an amount per service or tiers, for the whole team or per person. Everyone sees their commissions and tips on their phone.
Does the app send text reminders?
Yes, to clients who said yes: the reminder the day before, the nudge to come back and times freed up from the waiting list. Their replies come into the app. Texts are a $5 a month option with your own number, plus usage, or go through your own Twilio account.
How much does it cost?
$99 a month, plus taxes, with no setup fee and a 14-day free trial. If you use Niko, the AI assistant, that usage goes on the invoice based on what you use.
