# Salon Brain

> Salon Brain is a monthly financial read for hair salon owners in Australia, built by two hairdressers who run four salons. Owners upload their Xero and booking-system reports (Phorest, Fresha, Timely or Kitomba; QuickBooks and MYOB P&L exports also load) and Salon Brain shows where the salon stands, what it means and what to do next, in plain English and in the tone the owner chooses (direct, neutral or soft).
> It reads net profit against the salon's own target, staff cost against what each stylist bills, breakeven, safety margin and weekly and daily numbers, and puts a coach's note on each, written from twenty years of coaching profitable salons. There are no industry benchmarks; every read is against the salon's own targets.
> Salon Brain sits on the owner's board alongside their professional advisors and stylists. It brings ideas and suggestions from the owner's own figures. It does not give financial advice and is not licensed to; the decisions stay with the owner.
> Pricing: $390 AUD done-for-you setup, once, then $50 AUD a month. No contract, no lock-in. A second salon is $149 setup and $29 a month. First-Read Guarantee: if the first read shows the owner nothing they didn't already know, the setup fee is refunded.
> Founders: Carl Keeley (salon owner since 2003, salon finance coach, author of the Salon Maths framework) and Mitch (Next International, Gold Coast, salons since 1992). Support is answered by a hairdresser at hello@salonbrain.com.au.
