The business OS for braiders

Built for braiders. Only braiders.

Braid Boss Pro is a premium business operating system for braid stylists — branded booking links, deposits, contracts, retail storefronts, analytics, and creator-economy tools built around how braiders actually run their chairs. Not generic salon software.

Booking & Scheduling

A booking link your clients actually want to use.

Your own /@handle URL with a branded booking page, real-time calendar, deposits, and a waitlist that converts cancellations into bookings.

Public booking links

Custom /@handle URLs for Instagram + TikTok bios. Branded with your logo, banner, services, and policies.

Real-time calendar

Slot availability updates as you book — clients see exactly what's open, with the right service length and prep time built in.

Smart waitlist

When the calendar is full, clients join the waitlist with preferred dates. You convert openings into bookings with a tap.

Approval workflow

Requests land in your approval queue so you can vet new clients before confirming — no double-bookings, no surprises.

Pricing & Income Tools

Quote, collect, and reconcile in one flow.

From the pricing calculator that builds the quote to the Stripe Connect dashboard that pays it out — money moves through one polished pipeline.

Pricing calculator

Base price + variations + add-ons + length + density. Build a quote in 20 seconds, save it, and send it as a booking link.

Deposits at booking

Collect a deposit when the appointment is confirmed. Required, optional, or service-by-service — your call.

Stripe Connect

Direct charges land in your Stripe balance — no intermediaries. We handle the platform, you keep the money.

Saved quotes

Convert any quote into an appointment, a contract, or a deposit link. One source of truth from estimate to receipt.

Client Management

Every client, every visit, every dollar.

Client profiles

Visit history, preferences, lifetime spend, last hairstyle photo, contact info — all on one card.

VIP signals

Lifetime value, repeat-visit %, and inactivity alerts surface the clients who need rebooking outreach.

Rebooking opportunities

A dashboard ranks the clients overdue for their next service — one tap pre-fills a draft text.

Every client's story, one tap away

Lifetime spend, visit history, no-shows, and her last style photo — all on one card. Pull up everything you need to make her feel like a regular, then send an update straight from her profile.

Policies & Contracts

Set the rules once. Hold the line every time.

Booking policies

Cancellation windows, no-show rules, late grace periods — surfaced on the booking page so every client agrees up front.

E-sign contracts

Attach contracts to specific services or all of them. Clients sign on their phone — you get a PDF and a timestamp.

Service variations

Different lengths, densities, hair-included pricing — each variation carries its own deposit and contract.

Business Growth Tools

Sell retail. See the trends. Get paid more.

Retail storefront

Your /@handle/shop with featured products, categories, variants, and per-variant stock. Customers check out via Stripe directly.

Revenue dashboard

Today, this week, month profit, year made — the numbers stylists actually run their business on, no spreadsheet required.

Analytics insights

Top services, retention rates, average ticket, deposit collection rate — the levers that grow a chair-based business.

Boss Insights

Daily action prompts: who to follow up with, what's missing a deposit, which appointment to confirm — your AI assistant chair-side.

Track every booking back to its source

When a client finds you on Instagram, TikTok, Google, or your link in bio, the booking is tagged automatically. See exactly which platforms fill your chair — so you know where your next post should go.

Automation & Communication

Reminders that send themselves.

Text reminders (SMS)

Booking confirmations, a day-before and 2-hour reminder, balance nudges, and a post-visit review request — sent by text. Clients opt in at booking; you control it with one switch and prepaid credits.

Reminder rules

Confirm the day of. Nudge a balance the morning after. Choose email, text, or both — set it once and it runs.

Email automation

Order confirmations, deposit receipts, fulfillment updates — all on your brand, sent automatically.

Style presets

Re-usable templates for the styles you book most. One tap pre-fills duration, price, and the contract.

Mobile App Experience

It feels like a native app, because it acts like one.

PWA install

Add to home screen on iPhone or Android — the app launches without the browser bar, works offline, and looks like a native install.

Pull to refresh

Pull-down gesture syncs your calendar, clients, and orders the moment you want a fresh look.

Built for the chair

Big tap targets, no desktop-only menus, one-handed flows — the dashboard that runs your day fits in one hand.

Why we built this

Made at the chair, not in a boardroom.

Braid Boss Pro started inside a working braid business — SBW Braiding — and every feature still has to earn its place at a real chair.

Braid Boss Pro didn't start as a software company. It started at SBW Braiding — a real braiding chair, with real clients, real deposits, and the real headache of running all of it from a notes app, a calculator, and three different payment apps.

Every generic salon tool we tried was built for someone else: quick cuts and 30-minute color, not all-day knotless, hair-included pricing, or the deposit rules braiders live by. So we built the tool we wished existed — booking links, deposits, contracts, a storefront, and analytics in one place — and then opened it up to every braider who's tired of duct-taping their business together.
