CAB Solution Profile

Hair Salons & Beauty Studios

Stylists with different hours, services with different lengths, deposits, product inventory and commissions. CAB can bring them into one salon system shaped around your studio.

01 · The friction

What's slowing the business down

Salons combine complex appointments, mixed staff arrangements and retail product. Generic tools force the salon to simplify how it works — or leave owners reconciling the difference by hand.

  • · Color, cut and treatment services don't fit neatly into fixed time slots.
  • · Commissions are calculated in a spreadsheet at the end of the pay period.
  • · Product inventory is counted by hand.
  • · Client formulas and notes live in a stylist's phone.
  • · Deposits for long appointments are collected inconsistently.
  • · Booth renters and employees are managed in different ways.

02 · What CAB builds

One connected system

  • Service-aware booking

    Processing time, multi-step services and stylist skills taken into account when booking.

  • Client cards

    Color formulas, photos, allergies and preferences saved to the salon, not a phone.

  • Commission & booth tracking

    Employee commissions and booth-rent arrangements calculated from real sales.

  • Inventory

    Retail and back-bar product counts that update as items sell or get used.

  • Deposits & policies

    Deposits and cancellation rules applied consistently for long services.

  • Owner reporting

    Stylist productivity, retail sales and rebooking rates.

How the work changes

Before CAB

  1. Commissions take hours at the end of each pay period.
  2. Formulas live in a stylist's phone and leave when they do.
  3. You notice low product when it's already gone.

With CAB

  1. Client requests a service (Software)
  2. Matched to qualified stylist (Software)
  3. Deposit collected (Software)
  4. Formula loaded at check-in (Software)
  5. Service & retail checked out (Software)
  6. Commission calculated (Automation)
  7. Rebook suggestion sent (Automation)
  8. Owner approves payroll export (Human approval)

You stay in control: The owner reviews and approves before anything goes to payroll. · You decide which staff can see which client details. · You approve every reorder.
