    A text at the right week, offering the right stylist's real gaps. Quiet days get an offer to weekday regulars.

    Ten tools you would otherwise buy separately.

    Everything above ran on these. Each is a page of its own; together they are one workspace and one chat.

    Frequently asked questions

    More in the FAQ and Help centre.

    Can I take deposits and enforce a cancellation policy?+

    Yes. Set a deposit per service and a cancellation window. Kahu applies them at booking and reminds clients of the policy.

    Can clients choose their stylist?+

    Yes. Each stylist has their own diary, services and hours. Clients book the stylist or the first available.

    Will posts use my clients' photos without permission?+

    Kahu drafts the post; nothing is published until you approve it. Add a consent note to the client record and Kahu will only draft from those.

    I am a mobile stylist. Does it work without a salon?+

    Yes. Travel time between bookings is a setting, and the diary, reminders and posts work the same.
