Your calendar is not a series of unrelated bookings. It is a set of clients on two-to-three week cycles, each with a set they wear, a map you worked from last time, and a patch test date that matters.
The set, the curl, the length, the adhesive: as client preferences that are visible the moment you open their record, not buried in a note from four months ago.
Patch test dates, recorded and visible before you book them in.
Before and after photos on every visit, in their own columns, stored encrypted in your own iCloud and never uploaded anywhere else.
Full treatment notes per appointment: what you used, what you did, how it wore, what to change next time.
Retention, without guessing. The reports show who is on cycle, who has slipped past three weeks, and who has not rebooked at all.
Set a repeating appointment on their cycle and the run is booked. Reminders go out from your number, from Messages, after you have read them, which is the single biggest thing you can do about no-shows without taking a deposit.
Full set, fill, mega volume, removal, each with its own duration and price. Then adjust per client: a bump for the one who always needs an extra half hour, a loyalty discount for someone who has been coming for years.
There is no marketplace, no directory and no consumer app. Your client never sees another artist in the booking process, because there is nowhere for one to appear. And nobody takes 20% or 30% of a new client's first set.
Client details live in your Apple Contacts, on your own phone.
No online booking: the client texts you or calls.
No deposits or card payments, which for a trade where no-shows are expensive is worth thinking about honestly before you switch.
Apple only. One login.
Every feature, no time limit, no card required. $24.99 a month for unlimited client after that. No per-client fee. No commission. No add-ons.
