Pro • Beta
Can your clientele support your move?
Thinking about leaving commission, changing salons, renting a chair or opening a suite? Model the clients you realistically expect to retain and see what that book could produce before you make the move.
Unlocked during beta.
This is a financial planning tool. You don't need to enter client names or contact information. Use initials or anonymous labels if preferred. Always follow your employment agreements, salon policies, privacy obligations and applicable laws regarding client information and communication.
Step 1
You never have to enter your whole book. Pick whichever path fits your time — everything stays on this device.
Import clients Coming soon
Bulk importing your client list will be available in a future release. Nothing to do today.
Step 2
Tips are tracked separately and are never included in service revenue or profitability below.
Your bread & butter
Your highest-ticket service isn't always the service creating the most stability. Frequent, recurring appointments can create a strong foundation of predictable revenue.
Add clients to see which recurring services form the foundation of your book.
Step 3
No client is guaranteed to follow you. These are planning projections, not predictions.
Conservative
Fewer clients follow than you'd hope.
Likely
Your own High / Medium / Low ratings, as entered.
Strong retention
Most of the book follows you.
Step 4
Fixed expenses happen whether or not the chair is full. Variable expenses grow with every service you perform — enter those as a percent of service revenue so they aren't double-counted with the product costs already in My Menu.

Variable — percent of service revenue
Step 5
Estimates only — not guaranteed income. Tips are excluded from profitability.

Estimated monthly business profit before personal taxes
Strong retention

Step 6
This covers your estimated business expenses only — not the income you want to take home and not your taxes. Appointment counts use the average appointment value from the book you entered.
Step 7
Add your Quick start averages or individual clients, plus your estimated independent expenses, to see a financial snapshot.
From the mentor chair
Don't make the decision based only on your best-case scenario. If the move only works when almost every client follows you, that's something you want to know before you take on the overhead. And remember: financial readiness is only one part of going independent. You also need to decide whether you want the responsibility of running the business.
From the Mentor Chair
Everyone says I should get a suite. Should I?
