A professional color formulation engine and salon platform for licensed cosmetologists and barbers. Chemistry-checked formulas, an AI assistant that speaks stylist, photo-real color previews, online booking with deposits, point of sale, and a community of stylists reviewing each other's work — all free during beta.
An 8-step consult — starting level, undertone, porosity, gray %, history — becomes a complete multi-phase formula: root, lightener, toner, each with developer, ratio and timing. Gray coverage, lift realism and hair integrity rules are built in, and every formula carries a confidence score so you know when to trust it and when to strand test.
Describe the client the way you'd tell a coworker — "level 6, 50% gray, wants a 5NN with Color Fusion" — and she sets up the whole consult and reads the formula back, out loud if you want. She also reads your schedule, looks up clients, books appointments, answers business questions and adjusts inventory — always with a confirm tap before anything changes.
Photo-real previews show the client the target shade on their own photo before you mix, before/after side by side — anchored to real manufacturer swatch colors. Try on 100+ hairstyles, keep the client's color, or use your own reference photo. 50 preview credits a month during beta.
A stylist-only room where you share a formula — client name stripped automatically — and get comments from other colorists and the Color with Confidence team. Photos, likes, private messages, friends, and the full anonymized PDF attached to every share.
A public booking link for your clients with your real availability, per-day hours, and optional deposits paid by card straight to your account. Confirmations, reminders, reschedule and cancellation emails handled for you. Double-book on purpose when you want to — clients never can.
Check clients out with card or cash — tips, tax and receipts included, money deposited to your own Stripe account. Every consult saves to the client's history with chemical waivers signed right on your phone. Invite your team with a code, share one client book, set commissions — built for booth renters and salons alike.
Every routing rule in the engine is anchored to a published manufacturer chart or signed off by a licensed colorist — and every fix is pinned by a regression test so it never silently comes back. Beta testers' real consults are what tune it next.
Join the BetaEvery calibrated line uses the manufacturer's published shade chart, developer rules and mixing ratios — not generic color theory. When a chart doesn't publish an answer, a licensed colorist makes the call.
Paid plans for solo stylists, students and salons will come later. Beta testers will hear about pricing before it takes effect, and nothing you've saved — clients, consults, formulas, bookings — goes anywhere.
Card payments and deposits you take through the app go straight to your own Stripe account; the platform fee is 3.15% + 30¢ per transaction.
Open the app, sign up with email or Google, and add your name. That's it — no invite code, no card.
Pick your brand and line, fill in the hair profile — or just tell Ask Brandy — and generate. Export the PDF or preview the color on a photo.
Add notes on the result from the consult's history page, or share it in Formula Feedback. Every note is read.
Beta is open now to licensed cosmetologists, barbers and students. Free for the whole beta, no card required.
