Pilot open for braiding salons in the US
The salon app built for braiding.
Price by size and length, hold the chair with a deposit, split shared jobs and run a payday everyone can check.
Why Turnline
Salon apps were built for a haircut on the hour.
Braiding is priced by size and length, shared between braiders and booked for half the day. Turnline models the work as it happens.
| What braiding needs | Turnline | A typical salon app |
|---|---|---|
| Prices by style, size and length | One style, every size and length | Typical salon app: A separate service for each one |
| Hair in the price, brought by the client, or billed per pack | Packs counted, on the booking and the bill | Typical salon app: Added by hand as a product |
| Several braiders on one job | Split by fixed share or by minutes | Typical salon app: One stylist per appointment |
| Deposits for long appointments | Online, and by link for phone and DM bookings | Typical salon app: Online bookings only |
| Paying employees and contractors | Statements braiders check before payday | Typical salon app: A spreadsheet after close |

FAQ
Questions owners ask.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Clients book and pay the deposit on your salon's booking page in the browser. Only you and your braiders use the Turnline app.
Does it work for employees and contractors?
Yes. Each person on your team is an employee or a contractor, with their own pay plan, and each braider can have their own booking link.
What if the Wi-Fi drops at the salon?
Braiders keep logging jobs offline. Turnline syncs them when the connection comes back.
How do I take payments?
Card payments, deposits and pay links go through Stripe, at Stripe's fee. Turnline adds 1% to deposits and nothing to payments at the chair. Cash, Cash App and Zelle are recorded too, so every job is accounted for.
Do you text my clients?
Not yet. Confirmations and reminders go by email for now. Texts come once carrier registration is approved.
Where is Turnline available?
In the United States, on iPhone, Android and the web.
