Hair Tools

For years, I struggled to find the best salon scheduling app for my needs. I hated bouncing between keeping track of client notes in a Google doc, handling payments on Square, and booking with Acuity.  So I started looking for an app that could bring everything together in one place without breaking the bank.

Over the past couple years, the Shark FlexStyle has been one of the most buzzworthy styling tools as a way more budget-friendly option compared to its biggest competitor, the Dyson Airwrap (which is crazy expensive).
