# The Braidflow

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/558353/The-Braidflow

> The BraidFlow is a booking and salon management platform built specifically for braiding and natural-hair salons, addressing workflow gaps left by generic scheduling software designed around short, standardized appointments.

Core functions:

Appointment durations from 2 to 10 hours, matching real braiding service lengths rather than fixed 30- or 60-minute slots

Deposit-based booking through a direct Stripe integration. clients pay before a slot is confirmed, reducing no-shows

Client hair profiles tracking hair type, density, length, and style history alongside standard contact and visit records

Inventory management with tracking by hair length and color variant

Multi-stylist scheduling with commission-based payroll and automated payout calculations per pay period

Automated SMS and email reminders sent 24 hours and 2 hours before appointments, plus re-engagement messaging timed to typical style refresh cycles (roughly every 6 weeks)

A built-in booking page and website builder, including custom domain support via CNAME record, so salons can operate a client-facing site without separate web hosting

Loyalty and rewards program with referral code tracking

Waitlist management with automatic slot-fill when appointments are cancelled

Plans and specs:
Three pricing tiers scale by stylist count: a Starter plan for up to 2 stylists, a Growth plan for up to 10 stylists with SMS reminders and promotional codes, and a Pro plan for unlimited stylists with a custom booking domain, inventory management, and financial reporting. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

Security and integrations:
Payment processing runs through Stripe, so card data is handled by a PCI-compliant third party rather than stored directly. Staff accounts have role-based access, stylists can view their own appointments and clients but cannot access billing, subscription settings, or other stylists' private data.

Target users:
Independent braiders, natural-hair salon owners, and multi-location braiding studios in the United States.
