HerSets is the digital notebook built for beauty artists — the one place for every client's formulas, maps, history, and details you used to keep scattered across camera rolls, paper notebooks, and text threads. If you're a lash artist, nail tech, hair stylist, or esthetician, you already know the problem: the details that make your work good — the exact curl and diameter, the per-finger gel formula, the root-to-tip color mix, the client who's sensitive to acetone — live nowhere reliable. A screenshot here. A sticky note there. A frantic scroll through your camera roll five minutes before your next client sits down. HerSets fixes that with five built-in templates, ready on day one: LASH MAPS A full 5-zone eye diagram — inner corner, inner-mid corner, center, outer-mid, outer corner — with curl, length, diameter, and adhesive noted per zone. Replaces guesswork and old photos with a map you can actually read. NAIL FORMULAS Per-finger detail: gel type, color code, brand, and finish, so you can recreate any set exactly, months later. HAIR COLOR MAPS Natural level, section-by-section formulas, and a head map for placement — root, mid-length, and toner, all in one profile. SKIN & ESTHETICIAN JOURNALS Skin type, concerns, a face-zone treatment map, and a homecare plan for every visit. CLIENT PROFILES Contact info, allergies, patch test results, sensitivities, and notes — updated automatically after every visit, so it always reflects who your client is today. Beyond the templates, HerSets gives you: VISIT NOTES — a full timeline of what happened at every appointment: products used, retention observations, feedback, and anything worth remembering next time. ALERTS & FLAGS — sensitivities and patch test results surface automatically before your client sits down, so nothing gets missed. WEEKLY SCHEDULE — a color-coded view of your week, sorted by service and client, so you can glance ahead and prep. CUSTOM TEMPLATES — not every artist works the same way. Add your own fields, name them what makes sense to you, and reuse them with any client. HerSets isn't a booking app. It's the notebook behind the chair — built for the part of the job that actually determines whether a client's results are consistent, and whether they feel remembered. I'm not a tech, I'm an artist. HerSets is built for the way you already work.
