The stylist is away. Does the color come out the same?
The formula and every visit sit on the client, not in one stylist's memory. Walk-ins watch their place on the lobby screen. Commission, chair rent and salary come from the week as it happened.
One operating system for the chair
Calisto Pro is the software that runs a salon or a barbershop, from the first message to the next visit: your whole salon in one place, shared with your front desk and every chair, backed up, and open from anywhere.
Salon Operations
Every stylist's day priced by level, the processing time free for the next client, and the formula on every client.
Before & After
Every visit photographed against the same guide, from the stylist's phone onto the client.
Reviews, Google & Your Feed
Every review answered in one inbox, each client asked after the visit, your salon right on Google, and the after photo as your next post.
Walk-Ins & the Live Floor
A line joined from the client's phone, on the lobby screen, and every chair live at the desk.
The Client's Portal
Rebook the same stylist in three taps, sign the consent, see the visits left and check in from the car.

WhatsApp, text, web chat and calls matched to the client, beside the last visit and the formula.
Deposits & No-Shows
Nothing, a deposit, a percentage or a card held per service, on your own gateway.
The Backbar & One Bill
The shade flagged before its client arrives, and the service, the retail and the tip on one bill.
Memberships, Passes & Gift Cards
Unlimited cuts that renew, passes that count down, and gift cards that reconcile.
Commission, Chair Rent & the Team
Commission, chair rent and salary on one roster, and one Hub for the desk and every chair.
Rebooking & Referrals
Back on their own rhythm, referral credits instead of referral cards, and points on every visit.
Your Own App & Every Location
Your app in the stores under your name, and the menu and the brand set once for every location.
Calisto Salon
The same color, whoever holds the brush. The next client in the processing time.
Calisto Salon runs the day by stylist: each service priced and timed by level, the chair and the basin held, the processing time open for another client, and the formula kept on the client.

Calisto Salon
Same angle, same guide, every visit. Three months of color correction, side by side.
Calisto Salon takes the before and after against the same positioning guide every visit, from the stylist's phone straight onto the visit, so a result is shown side by side rather than described.

One platform for every chair in the business
The service changes. The schedule, the client file and the commission do not.
Dye formula and processing time on the client record, so the color is the same whoever is holding the brush.
While a color develops, the stylist takes the next client and the chair stays held for the one in it.
Live station availability for stylists and assistants, so a walk-in gets a straight answer instead of a guess.
Backbar and retail stock alert before they run out, not when a client is already in the chair.
Every guest's service confirmed in one booking, or none of them, so nobody is left without a chair on the day.
Two-way messaging on the channel the client uses, so a last-minute change is a message rather than a no-show.
No setup cost. Pay when you start using.
