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.
