The median hair stylist earns $35,080/year. Software subscriptions at $948/year represent 2.7% of that income — every single year. Helix at $279 once is 0.80% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.
Most hair stylists cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.
Helix takes a different approach. All 11 modules share one data source. Finish a job → invoice auto-generates. Track time → it feeds your billing. A client books online → their info appears in your CRM. No Zapier. No CSV exports. No "did I update that in the other app?" $279 once — or $99 today and two more payments — and you own the entire integrated system. 30-day money-back guarantee.
