Montana Avenue Salons and Med Spas: Stop Renting Your Client Book From Vagaro
Montana Avenue color salons, Main Street blow-dry bars, brow and lash studios off the Promenade, and the aesthetics and med-spa practices serving Santa Monica's brand-conscious clientele. Vagaro and Booksy charge per stylist and put their name on every touchpoint. We build your studio its own app and run the booking, retention, and deposits for you.
The beauty & personal care problem in Santa Monica
What's really happening with salons, spas, and beauty brands here.
The pattern we see
Your Santa Monica salon or med spa has waitlists in the chair and a forgettable booking experience online. Vagaro, Booksy, or Mindbody charges per stylist, takes a cut on services, and stamps its brand on every customer touchpoint. The booking widget on your site is the platform vendor's template, and your stylist's clients install the platform's app, not yours. When a provider leaves, your studio needs clear access, export, and handoff terms for customer records. In a Westside market where clients expect a premium, you are handing them generic software.
How we build for Santa Monica
Not a template. A custom stack, assembled for your operation.
We build your studio a branded app published under your brand, where clients install your studio rather than a platform. Each stylist gets a profile, calendar, and direct-message channel under the studio brand, with the studio owning the master customer record. The scope confirms membership plans, packages, deposits, cancellation rules, supported payment connections, and separate vendor fees.
Santa Monica's beauty market churns providers and clients fast, and Montana Avenue clientele will not tolerate a downmarket booking flow. The studios that retain both their book and their stylists are the ones that own the booking layer instead of renting it from a per-stylist platform. We build and run the agreed app, with booking, payment, and cancellation rules confirmed in the scope. Results depend on your business and customers.
What we build for Santa Monica salons, spas, and beauty brands
One ongoing fee covers these tools. Here are the parts businesses in Santa Monica use most.
Branded Mobile App, Operated By Us
A branded iOS and Android app for your Santa Monica beauty & personal care customers. We configure and run the push notifications, loyalty, and bookings. Developer-account responsibilities, licenses, exports, and handoff are documented in the signed agreement.
- iOS and Android publishing with developer-account responsibility documented in the signed agreement
- release management, version submissions, and rejections handled on our side
- push notifications and in-app messaging configured by us, on your timing
Customer-Facing Web Platform
A web platform your customers use daily and your Los Angeles County team runs from one screen. We host it, watch it around the clock, and push updates in low-traffic windows so nothing breaks mid-shift.
- branded responsive web platform tuned to your operation, not a template
- hosting, SSL, and CDN delivery managed end to end on our infrastructure
- role-aware access and logging requirements confirmed for the project
Vendor and System Integrations
Stripe, Square, Vagaro and the rest of your stack keep working, connected by us. Two-way sync, retry queues, and around-the-clock monitoring stay on our side, so an integration never breaks unnoticed on a Friday night.
- supported connections to the agreed CRM, accounting, and operations tools
- retries and event monitoring for the supported connections
- alert routing to our team, not yours, when something does break
Tools we connect
Decide which systems your Santa Monica beauty & personal care team keeps. Access, permissions, and vendor support determine what can connect.
Rules the software needs to follow
The project needs its own data and security review. The signed scope confirms applicable requirements, supported controls, vendors, and responsibilities.
Common questions from Santa Monica operators
Specific to salons, spas, and beauty brands in Santa Monica.
Are you set up to serve salons, spas, and beauty brands in Santa Monica?
Our office is in Long Beach. We can discuss the software work your Santa Monica team needs handled, with scope, response expectations, and meeting arrangements confirmed for your project.
How is Rehost priced for salons, spas, and beauty brands in Santa Monica?
By monthly active users, not by seats or locations: Business starts at $950/mo up to 2,000 MAU, then $1,500 to 10K and $2,500 to 50K. Hiring staff or opening another Santa Monica location doesn't move the bill. There's no setup fee and no per-transaction cut, and the published number is the number.
What are we paying you to run each month?
The monthly plan covers the agreed software work. We put the included tasks, vendor responsibilities, support expectations, and any review schedule in writing for your Santa Monica project.
If this doesn't work out, do we keep anything?
Your submitted content and customer data remain yours. Developer accounts, domains, code licenses, exports, handoff, notice, and service-end terms are documented in the signed agreement.
