Stop Losing Money on Hair Extensions & Color
Independent suite owners and booth renters often struggle to price complex color corrections because they forget to account for how much lightener and toner they mixed in the backroom. The ToolBizz Hair Stylist Pricing Calculator allows you to pinpoint the exact product cost of each service to ensure your chair is always profitable.
Calculating Your Hourly Chair Cost
If your salon suite costs $300 a week, and you only work 30 hours, your suite alone costs you $10/hour just to turn on the lights. Combine this with foils, gloves, and booking software in the 'Base Cost' field. Ensure you are actually making a living wage by checking your weekly take-home with our Income Calculator.
No-Show Protection
A 4-hour balayage no-show can ruin your entire week's profit. For any service over $200, use our Digital Invoice Creator to email the client a 50% non-refundable deposit link using Stripe/Square before they can secure a spot on your books.
