For braiding and locs salons
Software for braiding and locs salons
Braiding and locs work is the hardest kind of appointment to schedule: sessions run for hours or a whole day, often with more than one braider on a single head, and a late cancellation can cost an entire day's earnings. Self Vibe for Business is built to hold long appointments accurately, protect them with deposits, and keep the styles a client has worn on record.
The problems this solves
An all-day appointment is booked into a one-hour slot
Set true durations per style — knotless braids, faux locs, a retwist, a takedown — and the calendar blocks the real time. What you see on the day is what the day actually holds.
A cancelled full-day booking wipes out the day
Take a deposit at the time of booking on the styles that occupy a whole day. Clients cancel earlier when money is committed, which leaves you time to refill the slot.
Two braiders work on one client and neither schedule reflects it
Each braider keeps their own hours and services, so a session shared between two people is visible on both schedules and neither is double-booked for the afternoon.
Nobody records the style, the length, or how many packs it took
Style, length, parting, extension count and photos live on the client's record, so a repeat client gets the same result and you can quote accurately next time.
