Booking software for booth renters
Your own booking page, client list and color formulas, in your own account. If the salon you rent from uses Hue & Hair too, link the two and keep the rent agreement on record.
Free during early access: every feature on every plan, no card needed.
When paid plans begin, there's a plan sized to your salon — with at least 30 days' notice, and you only pay if you choose one.
Your book stays yours
- Your own booking link, hue-and-hair.com/s/your-name, to put in your bio. Clients pick a service and a time, and it lands on your calendar.
- Your own clients, notes and color formula history, with versions and photos. Photos stay hidden until the client gives consent.
- Color services split into processing stages, so your calendar shows your open time while color develops.
- Email reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before each appointment. Text reminders join them once US carrier registration is approved.
- Record cash, Venmo and Cash App payments. Card payments, deposits and no-show fees aren't available in Hue & Hair yet.
Rent, on record with the salon
For when the salon you rent from runs Hue & Hair on its Team or Enterprise plan. Linking is optional.
- The salon adds you by your booking-link name. You accept or decline in Settings, under Booth.
- The salon records your rent amount, how often it is due (weekly, every two weeks or monthly) and your chair number. You see the rent on your side.
- Hue & Hair keeps the record. It doesn't collect rent or move money between you and the salon.
- While you are linked, the salon can see your appointments: the time, the service and the client name. Your client records and formulas stay in your account.
- Either of you can end the link at any time. Your clients and your booking page stay where they are.
What other booking apps charge a booth renter

What Hue & Hair costs a booth renter
Free during early access: every feature on every plan, no card needed.
Paid plans come later, sized to your chair count — with at least 30 days' notice, and only if you choose one.
Your clients pay you, and Hue & Hair doesn't take a cut of your bookings.
A booth renter’s own account is the Solo plan. Its planned price after early access is on the pricing page.
Questions booth renters ask
- Do I need the salon to use Hue & Hair?
- No. Your account works on its own. Linking with the salon is optional and only adds the rent record and the shared view of your schedule.
- Does Hue & Hair collect my booth rent?
- No. It records the amount, how often it is due and your chair. Paying the rent stays between you and the salon.
- What happens to my clients if I leave the salon?
- They are in your account. Ending the link with the salon does not move or delete them, and your booking link keeps working.
- Can the salon see my clients?
- While you are linked, the salon can see your appointments, including each client’s name. It cannot open your client records or formulas.
- Is it free?
- Every feature is open at no cost during our early-access period. No card needed. When paid plans begin, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice, and you'll never be charged unless you choose a plan.
