Salon management

Your salon’s partner who takes things off your plate.

Running a salon is hard. You don’t have to do it alone.

Each morning, I bring you only what needs you.

From your Steward · 7:42 am

Good morning. Only two things need you today.

  1. 10:15 am

    Your clients trust you with how they look.

  2. 2:30 pm

    Your team trusts you with their careers.

  3. 9:40 pm

    After the last appointment, you’re still there.

  4. 11:05 pm

    Everyone needs something. Where do you start?

Who takes care of you?

That’s why we started Steward.

What gets lighter

A partner who takes the weight off your shoulders.

I’ll draft it. You decide.

From your Steward · Tuesday, 7:42 am

Good morning. Only two things need you today.

A regular is nine weeks past her usual visit. I wrote her a note. Read it, change anything, then send.

Thursday from 2 to 5 is quiet. Three regulars are due for color. Want me to reach out?

Already handled: paychecks are worked out to your pay plan.

  • The regular who’s overdue

    gets a note in your voice, sent only when you say.

  • The quiet afternoon

    fills with the clients who were due anyway.

  • Every paycheck

    is worked out to your pay plan.

  • Your stylists

    see their own numbers and what it takes to reach their next level.

  • Every morning

    you hear only what needs you.

Never alone

A real person beside you, the whole way.

Someone from our team learns how your salon runs and sets up the switch with you, step by step. If something isn’t ready, we tell you straight.

Based in Chicago and New York. We come to your salon.

Questions

Questions owners ask us.

All questions
What is Steward?

Steward is salon management for hair salons. It works alongside you every day: your book, checkout, clients, inventory and payroll numbers all live in one place, and each morning Steward tells you only what needs you, with the next step ready for you to approve. A real person from our team sets it up with you and stays with you after.

Who is Steward for?

Growing hair salons. Steward is for owners who want their salon to run better than it does today and who want to help move this industry forward. That includes single and multi-location salons.

How is Steward different from what I use now?

Steward doesn’t stop at keeping your records. It works on them with you. It notices the regular who’s overdue, the numbers that slipped this week and the open time coming up, then brings you the next step. You approve, and it’s handled. And you have a real person from our team beside you the whole way.

Is Steward booking software?

Booking is included: online booking, your calendar, reminders and checkout. But booking is where Steward starts, not what it is. Steward is there to help you run the whole salon.

How does switching work?

Someone from our team does it with you. Our White Glove Migration brings over your clients, appointments, service menu, client notes and formulas, then we set up your team and pay plans and are with you on the day you go live.
