Whittier Salons, Nail Bars, and Brow Studios: Your App, Run By Us
Independent salons, nail bars, and aesthetics studios across Uptown Whittier and the Whittier Boulevard corridor. Vagaro and Booksy charge per technician, take a cut, and stamp their brand on every customer touchpoint. We build a fully branded app and run the booking, retention, and client-record work on a flat monthly fee.
The beauty & personal care problem in Whittier
Where salons, spas, and beauty brands in Whittier quietly lose time and margin.
The pattern we see
Your Whittier salon or nail bar runs full in the chair and forgettable online. Vagaro or Booksy bills you per technician, skims a fee, and puts its own logo on the booking flow your clients use, so the customer installs the platform's app, not yours. Each of your techs has built a personal following, but the booking routes through staff because the system cannot cleanly send the right client to the right chair. And when a stylist left last spring, half her book left with her, because the relationship lived in her phone and on Vagaro, not in your studio's database. In a market this walkable, a lost regular usually becomes a competitor's regular two blocks away.
How we build for Whittier
One system, designed for your beauty & personal care workflow and run on your behalf.
We build your studio a branded booking app where each provider has their own profile, calendar, and client base, while the studio owns the master customer record. Service-aware notifications, deposit-on-booking, cancellation-fee capture, package management, and pre-care and post-care messaging live in one branded surface. We operate the Stripe and Square integrations at standard processor rate, with no per-appointment cut on top. Per-technician platform fees disappear into one flat monthly fee, and when a provider moves on, the client relationships stay in your database.
Whittier's beauty market is dense, walkable, and relationship-driven, the kind of place where Rehost already runs a neighborhood nail bar's platform. The studios that hold both their providers and their clients are the ones that own the booking layer instead of renting it from Vagaro. We build that layer under your name and operate it for you, so your front desk runs the floor while the software runs itself.

Common questions from Whittier operators
Specific to salons, spas, and beauty brands in Whittier.
Do you operate platforms for salons, spas, and beauty brands across Los Angeles County?
Yes. We focus on Los Angeles County and surrounding LA County operators. The platform is built once and operated continuously from our side, so geographic coverage isn't tied to a service-call radius. Whittier salons, spas, and beauty brands typically work with us for years on one flat fee.
What would this run a beauty & personal care operation in Whittier?
Most land on the Business tier, which starts at $950 per month and is billed by how many customers actually use the platform each month rather than by headcount. The fee covers the build, the hosting, and the ongoing operating work, so there's no separate maintenance retainer or per-seat line item on top.
What does "operated by Rehost" actually include?
Hosting, monitoring, integration upkeep, vendor migrations, security patches, App Store and Play Store renewals, payment processor changes, and the late-night issue that would otherwise land in your closing manager's lap. Plus a quarterly review where we walk through what we adjusted and what we'd recommend next, tied to own the client relationship and stop paying per-stylist platform fees.
Are we locked in if we sign up?
Your signed agreement states the commitment, notice, effective end date, exportable data, transferable accounts, any code license or handoff, and when Rehost-managed hosting and operations stop. Review those terms before launch so the exit path is explicit.
