Onboarding Roadmap: From Signup to Success!

Listen (about 2 minutes) or read below.

Here's exactly what happens once you sign up. You'll get a welcome email with a short onboarding form and a link to book your kickoff call.

The form covers your business basics: your business name, website, service areas, hours, services, goals, and who on your team should get alerts. Phone carriers also require your legal business name and EIN to approve business texting, and you'll enter those in the same secure, encrypted form. Please never send your EIN, bank details or passwords by email or text.

To receive payments from your customers, you'll enter your bank details yourself on Stripe's secure page. Our team never sees your full account numbers. You'll also invite us as a manager on your Google Business Profile, website and social accounts. That's safer than sharing passwords, and you can remove our access anytime.

Tiers 1 and 2 take two days. Day 1: your kickoff call, plus account, phone and CRM setup. Day 2: automations, booking and review requests, then your walkthrough and go-live.

Tiers 3 and 4 take three days. Day 1: kickoff and account setup. Day 2: automations, AI and integrations. Day 3: full testing, your walkthrough, and go-live.

From you, we just need replies within one business day, and you on the kickoff and go-live calls.

If you started with the FREE trial, nothing is charged today. When your 14-day trial ends, your one-time setup fee and your first month are charged together. If you cancel before then, you pay nothing at all. And if you chose an annual plan, your full year was charged at signup, with two months FREE and no setup fee.

Frequently asked questions

Can it remind clients when it's time for their next appointment?

Yes. Each client gets a rebooking reminder on their usual cycle, for example every 4 weeks for a cut or 3 weeks for nails, with your booking link.

How does it cut no-shows?

Every appointment gets a confirmation and a reminder the day before. If someone misses, they get a friendly text to rebook.

Can it handle calls while we're with a client?

Yes. Missed calls get a text back within seconds with your booking link, so new clients book instead of calling the next salon.

Do you offer a loyalty or referral program?

Yes. Clients can earn a reward you choose, such as money off their next service for referring a friend, plus a birthday offer each year. We never reward reviews, because Google doesn't allow it.

Can it show off our work on social media?

Yes. Tier 2 includes the Social Media Planner, so you can schedule photos of your work to Instagram, Facebook and Google from one place. Always get your client's OK before posting photos of them.

Which plan do most salons choose?

Tier 2 (Growth & Automation). Solo stylists and barbers can start on Tier 1. Choose Tier 3 for several locations or 24/7 AI booking.

How long does setup take?

Onboarding takes 2 days on Tiers 1 and 2, and 3 days on Tiers 3 and 4, from signup to go-live. Our team builds, tests and launches everything for you.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $297 a month, with a FREE audit, $0 today, no contract, cancel anytime. Every plan starts with a 14-day FREE trial, and annual plans save you two months (up to $3,194 a year). See all plans on our pricing page.

What happens when the FREE trial ends?

When your 14-day trial ends, your one-time setup fee (equal to one month of your plan) and your first month are charged together. After that your plan simply renews monthly. There's no contract, so you can cancel anytime, and if you cancel before the trial ends you pay nothing. Annual plans have no setup fee.
