See exactly what's deciding your salon's profit, in a day.
No lock-in coaching contract. No becoming an accountant. A CFO, a salon coach and a highly profitable owner who's been on the floor for twenty-plus years: Salon Brain reads your numbers the way all three would if they sat down with your salon on the same morning, over the software you already run. Send us two exports and you'll have your first read in a day. Three experts. One layer. Zero fluff.
This is the intelligent layer.
Twenty-three years of Carl running and coaching profitable salons. Ours, since 1992.Every rule we've learned about wages, pricing, rebooking, rosters and staff.Your Phorest, Fresha, Timely or Kitomba, your Xero and your payroll.All of it read together, every morning.Click a region, then a topic, then again to read every tag inside it. Illustrative, not a live view of any salon.
This is not another salon software.
Keep the booking system your team already knows. Salon Brain reads its exports alongside Xero and payroll, and adds the salon judgment none of those systems have on their own.
Bookings, visits, rebooking, retail, your team
Phorest, Fresha, Timely or Kitomba. You export the reports; nothing changes at the desk.
The intelligent layer that connects the dots
Reads both sides together, the way a coach would, and tells you what to look at first.
Accounting, wages, costs, profit and cash
Xero first. A monthly P&L export from QuickBooks or MYOB loads too.
Nothing to switch. No new workflow at the desk. No handing over your logins.
If you've done the courses and nothing shifted, that wasn't you.
You were handed pieces and expected to see the whole.
Coaches, courses, podcasts, AI, and the software you already pay for printing endless reports that tell you everything and answer nothing. That flood is why it hasn't worked: it gives you everything and prioritises nothing.
You've seen your numbers. That was never the problem.
If you decided somewhere along the way that you're just not a numbers person, put that down. Nobody has ever shown you your numbers in a way that makes sense. In your language, not the accountant's.
The help on offer isn't built to fix you fast.
Not because anyone's a villain. It's the model. A lock-in contract only works for the coach if you stay a client. A report only works for the accountant if you never ask what to do with it.
Beautiful work, and a business that pays you back.
That's why you started. It hasn't gone anywhere. The one thing that decides it isn't your marketing, your commission structure, or the times. Not first.
By the end of this page, there's only one thing we want you to believe.
A handful of foundation numbers decide whether your salon pays you. Not your marketing, not first. Not your commission structure, not first. Not the times. And the only way to see those numbers the way a CFO, a salon coach and a highly profitable owner would see them together is to put all three in one intelligent layer over your own data.
Keep your software. See it differently.
Tell us about your salon.
Five minutes of questions, once. Your software, your team, what you want this year, what's been keeping you up.
Send your exports. We do the setup.
We show you where the two reports live in your salon software and Xero. Then we crunch three years by hand, match your staff, and check everything before you see a number.
See the picture. Choose your focus.
One morning, coffee in hand, you open it. The month so far in dollars, who needs a conversation this week, the one line eating your profit. Ten minutes, and you walk onto the floor already knowing.
Less decoding. More "oh, now I see it."
See the number. Understand what's behind it. Know where to look first. Every tile comes with a plain-English read and a coach's note, and every read ties back to your profit.
This salon keeps 12 cents of every dollar after costs. The gap to its target is $2,400 a month, and $1,600 of that gap is sitting in one line. That's where to look first.
The questions owners ask first
Is this real, or just a gimmick?
The answer isn't a promise, it's proof. Carl and I open it every single day to run our own four salons. It's the first thing I look at in the morning and it decides what I do with my day. We didn't build it to sell; we built it because nothing else did the job.
Is this another salon software?
No. Keep the booking system your team already knows. Salon Brain reads its exports alongside Xero and payroll. Nothing to switch, no new workflow at the desk, no handing over your logins.
I'm not a numbers person.
That's exactly who it's built for. I'm not one either. Our family business had people who were, and I built this for the hairdressers who don't. It's visual, it's in plain English, and it's boiled down to what matters. You don't need to become an accountant.
I've already done the courses.
Good. This isn't a coach and it isn't a course. No lock-in contract, no one softening the truth to keep you enrolled. It reads your actual numbers and shows you straight, from your own salon, on day one.
Will it work for my size of salon?
It isn't built for a size. Five chairs or fifteen, the same handful of numbers decide whether the salon pays you. What changes is which one we look at first. Who it's for spells out the three.
Is it financial advice?
No. Salon Brain sits on your board alongside you, your professional advisors and your stylists. It reads your own figures and brings ideas to the table. It doesn't give financial advice and isn't licensed to. The decisions stay yours.
$590 setup, once. Then $59 a month.
No contract, no lock-in. Adding a second salon is $149 setup and $29 a month. If your first read doesn't show you at least one thing about your salon you didn't already know, the setup fee comes back.
It reads your own figures and brings ideas and suggestions to the table, the way a good board member would. It doesn't give financial advice and isn't licensed to. The decisions stay yours, and your accountant and other advisors are there for the advice that fits your situation.
