“Deposits changed everything. Four-hour color appointments don’t ghost me anymore.” — Alyssa R., Miami, FL

Hair is the appointment trade with the widest spread between the cheapest and most expensive thing on the menu, and the longest chair times at the top end. A balayage or a full colour correction can occupy the better part of a day, which means a no-show is not a lost hour, it is a lost day — and unlike a barber’s chair, that slot was booked weeks ago and cannot be refilled. Colour work adds a second problem: product is bought and mixed specifically for the client, so a cancellation costs materials as well as time. Both point to the same answer, which is that colour appointments need deposits in a way that a dry cut does not.

How Hair Stylists & Colorists Price Their Work.

The billing structures this trade actually uses — and what each one means for getting paid. Every one of them can sit on a single rate card.

Menu pricing by service

Cut, blow dry, colour, highlights, treatments.

Long and short services should be visibly different prices, because they are visibly different commitments.

Deposit scaled to chair time

Colour, extensions, anything over two hours.

A larger deposit on a longer slot is proportionate and clients read it as reasonable.

Consultation, priced or free

Colour corrections and extensions.

Charging for it (and crediting it) filters enquiries that were never going to book.

Maintenance packages

Colour clients on a six- to eight-week cycle.

Root touch-ups and toners billed as a plan rather than rebooked each time.

Where Hair Stylists & Colorists
Lose Money.

The payment problems specific to this trade, and what actually fixes each one.

cancelled colour appointments

A cancelled colour appointment costs a full day of chair time and the product you already bought.

Deposits scaled to the length of the appointment cover the exposure and change cancellation behaviour.

unpaid consultations

Consultations eat unpaid hours, particularly for corrections and extensions where the enquiry is exploratory.

Price the consultation and credit it against the service if they book.

clients drifting off cycle

Clients drift. Without a rebooking prompt the six-week cycle stretches, and eventually they try someone else.

A maintenance plan books and bills the cycle so drift never starts.

Common Questions.

RateCards is a booking and payment link for Hair Stylists & Colorists: list your services and prices on one page, take bookings and deposits, and get paid by card through Stripe — no website, no app, no code. Free to start, and most providers are set up in minutes. See how RateCards works or explore every feature.

QShould Deposits Be Bigger For Colour Appointments?

Generally yes. A colour appointment occupies far more chair time and involves product bought for that specific client, so a deposit proportionate to the booking is both fairer to you and easier for clients to accept.

QCan I Charge For A Colour Consultation?

Yes, and crediting it against the service if the client books is the usual approach. It filters out enquiries that were never going to proceed while costing genuine clients nothing.

QHow Do I Keep Colour Clients On A Regular Cycle?

Set up a maintenance package as a recurring service covering root touch-ups or toners at your recommended interval, so the cycle is scheduled rather than dependent on the client getting in touch.

QHow Do Hair Stylists Get Paid Faster?

Clients pay through your link — deposit at booking, balance at the salon. Payments process through Stripe and typically arrive fast.1

QWhat Is A Rate Card For Stylists?

Your service menu and prices on one page where clients book and pay — your own mini storefront in your bio.1

QCan I Require Deposits For Color Appointments?

Yes. Collect a deposit at booking on long appointments so ghosted slots stop costing you half a day.

QCan I Sell Memberships Or Packages?

Yes. Treatment series and monthly memberships can be billed automatically.3

QDo Clients Need An App To Book Me?

No. Your link opens in any browser on any device — no download required.

QCan Clients Tip Me?

Yes. Tipping is built in and optional — one tap at checkout.4

QHow Do I Share My Rate Card?

Put the link in your Instagram or TikTok bio and print the QR code at your station.

QWhat Does RateCards Cost?

Starter is free for your first 6 months — no credit card required. After that it’s $5/mo billed annually ($60 a year) or $7/mo billed monthly. Solo is $24/mo billed annually ($288 a year) or $29/mo monthly, and Business is $119/mo billed annually ($1,428 a year) or $149/mo monthly. See the full breakdown on the RateCards pricing page.

QWhat Fees Come Out Of What I Earn?

Two, and both are flat percentages of the listed price. A 5.5% service fee is deducted from your payout — that rate is all-inclusive, so Stripe’s processing costs are absorbed within it rather than charged to you separately.7 A 5.5% client booking fee is added to your client’s total at checkout.7 Solo cuts your service fee by 20% and Business by 30%; the client booking fee stays 5.5%. Every rate is listed on the pricing page.
