The whole system, module by module.

This is the long version. Ten areas, and what each one actually does on a normal working day — not adjectives.

01Bookings & calendar

The day view your front desk lives in

One screen that shows every chair, every stylist and every room at once, and lets you move things without picking up the phone.

  • Day, week and stylist views, colour-coded by service type
  • Drag an appointment to move it — the client is told automatically
  • Book the chair, the room and the equipment, not just the person
  • Buffer time per service so colour never eats the next appointment
  • Fit a walk-in into the gaps without rebuilding the day
  • Recurring appointments for the client who comes every second Tuesday
  • Waitlist that fills a cancellation automatically
  • Your own booking page, in Arabic or English, on your own link
02Zaina AI on WhatsApp

The assistant that answers when you can't

In every plan. She reads the message in whatever the client wrote — Kuwaiti Arabic, formal Arabic, English, or a voice note — checks the live calendar, and books it.

  • Books straight into the real calendar, so she cannot double-book a chair
  • Replies in the language and dialect the client wrote in
  • Understands voice notes, which is how a lot of clients actually message
  • Knows each client's history — "the same caramel as last time?"
  • Suggests slots that match when that client normally comes
  • Escalates to you when she is not certain, instead of guessing
  • Hands over immediately on health questions, complaints, or photos
  • Learns an answer once from you, then knows it forever
  • You can pause her at any moment from your own WhatsApp
03Clients

The file that makes her feel remembered

Everything about a client in one place, so any stylist can pick her up — not just the one who usually does her hair.

  • Colour formulas, developer volumes and processing times
  • Allergy and sensitivity flags that warn before booking
  • Full visit history: every service, every stylist, every dinar
  • Before and after photos on the card
  • Private notes only the team can see
  • VIP flag that routes her straight to you instead of the assistant
  • Birthday and win-back messages that send themselves
04Team & payroll

Rota, attendance and what everyone is owed

The part owners usually do by hand on a Thursday night, done as the work happens.

  • Publish the rota to their phones instead of the staff-room wall
  • Clock in and out, with hours totalled per person
  • Commission per stylist — by service, by product, or both
  • Tips split by whatever rule you actually use
  • Individual monthly targets each stylist can see herself
  • Leave and day-off requests without a WhatsApp thread
  • Per-stylist productivity: hours worked against revenue produced
  • Roles and permissions, so juniors cannot see the salon's finances
05Stock & retail

Colour and product, counted without counting

Stock that goes down as services are performed, so the shelf and the system agree.

  • Colour tubes deducted automatically per service and per formula
  • Professional stock and retail stock tracked separately
  • Low-stock alerts before you run out, not after
  • Purchase orders to suppliers, with cost tracking
  • Barcode-friendly stock takes
  • Retail sales attached to the stylist who sold them
  • Wastage and breakage recorded so the numbers stay honest
06Payments & money

KWD to the fils, and a close that balances

Built around how Kuwaiti salons actually take money, not adapted to it afterwards.

  • Record payments as KNET, Visa or cash (not a KNET gateway)
  • Split payments across two methods on one bill
  • Deposits for bridal, milcha and long appointments
  • Every amount in KWD to three decimals — the fils never round away
  • Refunds and partial refunds with a reason attached
  • Daily close in one screen: by payment type, by stylist, by service
  • Receipts that read correctly in Arabic, printed or on WhatsApp
  • Ready for VAT the day Kuwait introduces it
07Home service

The stylist who works at the client's house

A different job from a salon appointment, so it is handled as one.

  • Travel time built into the booking, not guessed
  • Minimum spend and travel fee set per area
  • Areas by name — Salmiya, Hawally, Jabriya, Bayan
  • Kit and product checked out to the stylist, then back in
  • Live tracking to the client's door
  • Payment taken at the house, into the same daily close
08Packages & loyalty

The reasons she books again

Prepaid packages, memberships and points, all drawn down automatically at checkout.

  • Packages: six blow-dries paid up front, counted down per visit
  • Memberships billed monthly with member pricing applied
  • Bridal packages that bundle trial, day-of and the party
  • Loyalty points earned and redeemed without a calculator
  • Gift vouchers with codes, tracked until redeemed
  • Referral credit when an existing client brings a new one
09Reports & branches

The five minutes a day that tell you where you stand

Numbers an owner can act on, and the same numbers per branch when there is more than one.

  • Revenue by day, service, stylist and branch
  • Service mix — what actually makes the money, not what feels busy
  • Retention: who came back, who has gone quiet
  • No-show and cancellation rates, per stylist and per service
  • Chair utilisation, so you know if you need another one
  • Consolidated view across branches, with per-branch drill-down
  • Export to Excel for your accountant
10Apps & languages

On the desk, in her hand, and in both languages

The same system wherever your team happens to be standing.

  • Web app for the front desk and the office
  • Mobile apps for iPhone and Android
  • A stylist-only view: her day, her clients, her numbers
  • Full Arabic and English, switchable per user
  • Genuine right-to-left — screens mirror, they are not just translated
  • Works across the GCC: local currency and working week
Every plan includes Zaina AI — 2,000 WhatsApp messages a month, then pay only for what you use.

Nothing here is an add-on.

Plans differ by how many staff you have and how many branches you run — not by which features get switched off. Zaina AI is in every plan, including the smallest one.
