Loving this app!

This app has been a game changer for my business! I have a renewed excitement for the business side of hair which is always the least favorite part… but this app organizes everything for me! It saves formulas and notes for every client, tracks income & expenses, keeps inventory, and so much more. It’s so exciting! It’s the greatest tool to help me succeed. Love it! Worth every penny!

Best hairstylist app ever made❤️

BackBar Pro is sooo good! As a hairstylist you need this app. It is made perfectly to have everything you need when booking an appointment, saving notes/formulas and it even sends appointment reminders to your clients automatically. It makes your job so much easier and you’d be dumb not to get it🤪

really loving the app so far !

I’m loving Backbar Pro so far! It has so many amazing features that truly support stylists behind the chair. I recently shared feedback about one of the features, and they added it within an hour—how amazing is that?! You can tell this app was thoughtfully designed by a team that genuinely listens to and cares about hairstylists. I’m so excited to keep using it!

The way this app allows you to track inventory not only on retail but also my color, color formulas, extensions and backbar is a game changer! The layout is user friendly and easy to understand. Still finding new features im blown away by. Definitely worth switching over!

Finally, an app that puts EVERYTHING behind the chair in one place. Beautiful, simple, and actually made for stylists. Total game changer!
