14 days free · No credit card · Month-to-month
Your day
Built around a real salon day
Long color appointments, quick trims, and a front desk that is often you between clients.
Long services, booked right
Each service carries its own length and processing time, so a full highlight or a color correction blocks the right amount of the stylist's day and online booking never squeezes it short.
Fewer empty chairs
Clients get a text and email reminder and confirm by replying to the text. Ask for a deposit when clients book online, as a percentage of the service so long color carries a bigger one, and keep a card on file for late cancellations.
Everyone paid fairly
Commission, hourly, hourly plus commission, whichever is higher, or salary. ShearCRM works out each stylist's pay, including tips and product costs.

Hair salons: common questions
Can clients book color online without booking too little time?
Yes. Each service has its own length and processing time, and online booking only offers times that fit the whole service with that stylist.
Can I take a deposit for color appointments?
Yes. Set a deposit as a percentage of the service, so longer color appointments carry a bigger deposit, or a flat amount. Keep a card on file to charge a late-cancel or no-show fee.
Where do color formulas go?
On the client's profile, alongside notes, allergies and photos. They show on the appointment so the stylist sees them before the client sits down.
Does it handle commission and hourly assistants?
Yes. Each person has their own pay setup: commission, hourly, hourly plus commission, whichever is higher, or salary. Hourly staff clock in on the built-in time clock.
Do I need to change card processors?
ShearCRM's checkout runs on Cloud9 Payments. Send a recent statement and we'll show you, for free, what you'd pay.
