How it works

Three steps from inquiry to confirmed

No phone tag, no DM chaos. Just a clean flow that keeps you in control of every booking.

1

Get your braider link

Sign up and your custom BraidBoss page is live instantly. Post it in your bio, DMs, or anywhere. Clients fill out your quote request form — no app download, no account needed.

2

Review & send a proposal

See style, size, length, hair details, and photos. You set the price. You set the deposit. You pick the date. No AI suggestions — 100% your call. Send a professional proposal in seconds.

3

Client pays, you're booked

Client gets a clean proposal page. They accept and pay the deposit through Stripe. You get notified immediately. After the job, upload your completion photo and get paid out.

Meet your wingman

Marcus AI —
Your Braiding Wingman

Marcus is the AI personality built into BraidBoss. He's not a chatbot — he's your braiding business energy coach. He checks photo quality on quote requests, drops dashboard commentary to keep you motivated, and helps you engage clients in your voice.

😌 Chill — Laid-back energy
🔥 Spicy — Bold & hyped
💼 Pro — Business first
✌️ Lite — Low key

Marcus requires your own OpenAI API key. BraidBoss works fully without him.

What you get

Everything a braider needs — nothing extra

Designed for how braiders actually work. Not adapted from some generic salon booking tool.

Your branded braider page

One link — your face, your portfolio, your policies. Clients request directly from your page. No marketplace. No competing braiders next to your name.

Detailed intake form

Clients tell you everything upfront: style, size, length, hair included, wash/takedown needs, inspiration photos, and preferred dates. No chasing details in DMs.

You set every price

No AI pricing. No suggested amounts. You see the request, you decide what it's worth, you name the deposit. Your business, your rates — always.

Professional proposals

Send a clean proposal with your price, deposit amount, appointment options, prep instructions, and an expiration date. Looks polished, gets accepted faster.

Private photo uploads

Clients send current hair and inspiration photos. Only you see them — never shared publicly, never visible to other braiders.

Your number stays private

All communication flows through BraidBoss. Clients never see your personal phone number — unless you choose to share it yourself.

Why braiders choose us

Built different, on purpose

Every decision in BraidBoss was made for braiders — not adapted from a general booking tool that happens to include braids.

No hidden fees, ever

BraidBoss charges a flat 10% platform fee on completed bookings. No monthly subscription. No new-client surcharge. No surprise deductions. If you earn $300, you keep $270. That math never changes.

Your page, your brand

You get a dedicated braider page at your username — not a listing inside a marketplace where StyleSeat can promote someone else next to you. You own the client relationship, end to end.

Marcus — your AI wingman

No other booking app has Marcus. He's an AI personality that speaks your language, checks photo quality, motivates you when requests pile up, and helps you stay on top of your business without the burnout.

Mobile-first, actually

BraidBoss was designed for phones first — because that's how braiders work. Your dashboard, proposal builder, and client form all work beautifully on any device, no app download needed.
