For hair professionals
Hands full? Your business still has to run.
We act as the IT department for hairstylists, barbers, cosmetologists, salon owners and booth renters. We look after your phone, your online booking, your card reader and Wi-Fi, your client records, your email and your website, so you can keep your eyes on the chair.

A busy day behind the chair
What goes wrong while you are with a client.
- A call comes in. Your hands are busy, so it goes to voicemail, and a missed call can be a missed booking.
- The card reader loses its Wi-Fi with a client waiting to pay.
- Your client notes are on one phone, and that phone drops, breaks or goes missing.
- An email says your account is locked, and it looks real.
When something stops and you cannot tell if it is the phone, the Wi-Fi, the card reader or the booking app, wouldn't it be nice to have just one number to call? (316) 347-7630
The phone and the booking
A missed call is a missed booking.
You cannot answer the phone with your hands in a client's hair. Online booking lets people book at night, on your day off, or while you are busy. Reminders that really arrive help cut down on no-shows.
We help set up online booking and reminder messages, and we check that the reminders reach your clients and do not end up in junk. We can also set up a business phone number that rings on your own cell phone, so you are not handing out your personal number.
Getting paid
A card reader and Wi-Fi that stay up on a Saturday.
The busiest day is the worst day for the card reader to stop. We set up your Wi-Fi and your card reader so they are ready for a full day, and we look after them so you are not the one fixing them between clients.
Receipts and tips should go to the right chair, so each person is paid for their own work. We help set that up so it is clear at the end of the day.
Your client book
Your client list is private. Keep it safe.
Phone numbers, color formulas, allergy and patch-test notes, birthdays. Your clients trusted you with that. For many stylists it all lives on one phone, and phones break, get dropped and get lost.
We back up your client records to your own online storage, such as the storage that comes with Microsoft 365 or Google, away from your phone. We do not keep your clients' information ourselves; it stays in your account. We also check the backup on a regular schedule, so a problem is more likely caught before you need it.
If you already use booking software that holds your client list, we can look at connecting to it instead of replacing it. We cannot promise that until we see what you use, and we will tell you straight.
Being found
A website that looks like your work.
Many people look you up on their phone before they book. They check your Google listing, your Instagram and your website. They want to see before-and-after photos, a gallery that opens fast on a phone, and one booking link that is the same everywhere: in your Instagram bio, on Google and on your site.
We can build your website to show your work and keep it up to date. We also look after your Google listing and make sure your name, phone number and booking link match everywhere people find you.
Fake emails
Some invoices and warnings are not what they look like.
A supplier invoice that is a little off. A note that says your account is locked and to click here. They can look real, and between clients it is easy to click without thinking.
We set up your email so it is much harder for scammers to fake messages from your email address, and so your own booking messages and reminders are far more likely to arrive and not land in spam. We keep checking.
More than one chair
Everyone gets their own tools. The shop shares one setup.
- Each person can have their own booking page and calendar.
- Each person can have their own phone number, ringing on their own phone.
- One shared Wi-Fi and one card setup for the whole shop.
- When someone leaves, their access closes and nobody else is locked out.
What a free look covers
Would a scammer pick your shop?
All we need is your web address, the part after the @ in your email, like yourshop.com. No passwords, no logins, nothing to install. We look at your website and email the way a scammer would, from the outside:
- Can someone send an email that looks like it came from your shop?
- Do your booking messages and reminders pass the checks that keep them out of spam?
- Does your website show the right phone number, address and booking link?
You get a short report in plain words. You can give it to whoever looks after your computers, or to us.
We run our own company on the same setup we manage for clients.
