The Unwritten App, a ground-breaking free software and retail platform specifically designed to help sole trader hairdressers build profitable businesses, is officially live in both the App Store and Google Play Store. Independent hairdressers can download the app to instantly gain the business management tool to their smartphones. The process includes a simple, self-guided onboarding process that connects them with the technology efficiently.
The platform was created by founders Rob Aubin and Hayden Brooks and has been in development for three years before launching. It has been tried and tested by independent hairdressers nation-wide to ensure it’s ready for this market launch.
“So far I have found the Unwritten app to be very straightforward and easy to use,” shared hairdresser Charde Ellis as part of this process. “I’m really enjoying using it for my home salon business and the help and assistance from customer service has been exceptional.”
“The app is fantastic. I can find everything I require in one app as a freelance hairstylist! There is no need for anything else,” added Sophia Smalley.
The app allows independent hairdressers to take online bookings, manage their calendar and appointments, send automatic SMS reminders, take payments via card or cash, apply discounts, send refunds, order wholesale products or sell leading partnered professional brands remotely to earn commission, with invoicing and payment done via the app. The platform currently partners with brands such as Cezanne, De Lorenzo, Foil Me, Great Lengths, K18, La Biosthetique, Mon Amie, O&M and Showpony in these endeavours, and has its own Unwritten brand of exclusive retail products.
“We want this to be not just a business tool but a holistic Indie community and brains trust that will ultimately help every individual involved build a more streamlined, profitable sole trader business,” Rob said.
“Unwritten is specifically designed to be simple and attractive, but very powerful,” Hayden added. “The interface is approachable and intuitive, and every function we’ve included has a specific purpose that belongs in an Indie’s day-to-day business.”
The app streamlines the work process with all calendar and client management in one system, with a user-friendly interface that’s powerful, fast to set up and east to use, to take the stress out of admin work. Users can keep detailed histories and notes for their clients for more personalised services and manage it all with no subscription fee. It also makes your business accessible for clients, who can book with you with ease.
“The online booking has been really easy to set-up and manage. I love the fact that people can book from my mini web page,” shared Isaac Sanderson.
Access to the in-app shops aids in purchasing professional supplies such as foils, lighteners or brushes, which is then delivered right to your doorstep, while the retail component means independent hairdressers can earn without having to hold stock. Hairdressers can recommend and sell products anywhere at any time, without worrying about storage or shipping, while still earning commission on every purchase. Exclusive access to the dedicated Unwritten brand is only available through this ecosystem, in addition to the other brands available.
The platform extends its community to a private Facebook group that offers free sole trader business education, tips, networking, special offers and the space to asks questions about the app.
