Strand's diary: one column per stylist, with each booking's client, service, time and status.

Strand's arrivals: who is due, late or here, and the clock-in code for the team.

The day close in Strand: expected takings by how people paid, and the counted cash by note and coin.

What it does

The diary

Bookings by stylist with processing gaps, walk-ins, arrivals, moves and no-shows. Deposits on long colour bookings by payment link.

The client card

Consultation form, colour formulas bowl by bowl with photos, allergy alert tests, and reaction notes only named people open.

The bill and the day close

Several stylists on one bill, split payment, tips outside the bill, approvals above a limit, tax from your settings, refunds and the day’s count.

Packs, wallets and vouchers

Sold and redeemed at the counter, with balances brought over from your old system.

Stock

Retail and colour grams, taken off as you work, and the low-stock list.

The team

Invites, attendance by QR code, leave, tips and advances, and approvals on the owner’s phone.

Booking messages go by email. Not in the first version: pay sheets and commission, campaigns, the online booking page and billing while offline.
