Industries/Hair & makeup CRM

Trials, party pricing, chair schedules.

Salon apps think in appointment slots. Bridal beauty is a party of eight, a trial three months out, an early start fee and two artists in a hotel suite. Semuko is built for that morning.

For on-location bridal hair and makeup teams. Not a salon point-of-sale.

Why bridal artists switch

A party of eight, two artists, one hotel suite and photos at one. Semuko prices the party per person, books the trial, and works the chair schedule backward from the first look.

Chair schedule calculator

Eight chairs, two artists, done on time.

Set the party, the team and when photos start. Semuko works backward, ends thirty minutes before photos, flags the early start fee and prices the proposal per person.

Trial booked online

The trial, three months out.

The bride books her trial from your availability. Inspiration photos, skin type and allergies come in with the booking, so you know before the first brush. If she has not booked by three months out, a reminder does the asking. Pick a date.

Replaces your stack

One plan instead of an example hair and makeup team stack.

These are tools a hair and makeup team often pays for separately. Your own stack will differ, and some of these tools do things Semuko does not. Each row says where keeping the dedicated tool makes sense.

  • CRM and lead pipeline

    Pipedrive Lite

    $14/mo per seat, billed yearly

    $14/mo

    In Semuko: Clients and leads

    When to keep Pipedrive

    A sales CRM is built around reps and deal stages. If you run an outbound sales team, it can go further than a studio CRM.

  • Scheduling links

    Calendly Standard

    $10/mo per seat, lowest listed price

    $10/mo

    In Semuko: Booking and scheduling

    When to keep Calendly

    Calendly has a free plan. If one booking link is all you need, the free plan may be enough.

  • E-signatures

    Dropbox Sign Essentials

    $10.05/mo billed yearly ($15 billed monthly)

    $10.05/mo

    In Semuko: Contracts and proposals

    When to keep Dropbox Sign

    If you sign a lot of documents that are not about a client (leases, vendor or HR paperwork), a general e-sign tool covers those.

  • Invoicing

    FreshBooks LitePartly replaced

    $23/mo regular monthly price, 5 billable clients

    $23/mo

    In Semuko: Invoices and payment plans

    When to keep FreshBooks

    Semuko invoices and collects payments. It is not accounting software, so most studios still keep bookkeeping for expenses and taxes.

  • Forms and questionnaires

    Typeform Basic

    $25/mo lowest listed price, billed yearly

    $25/mo

    In Semuko: Questionnaires

    When to keep Typeform

    Typeform is a design-first builder for public surveys and quizzes. Semuko questionnaires live on the client and the event.

  • Crew scheduling

    When I Work Essentials

    $2.50/mo per user, priced here for 4 staff

    $10/mo for 4 users

    In Semuko: Staff scheduling

    When to keep When I Work

    Shift scheduling for a large hourly crew outside of events is a different job. Semuko schedules staff against bookings.

Example stack, lowest listed pricesabout $92/mo

Semuko Studio Pro

$79.99/mo

or $71.99/mo billed yearly (10% off)

Up to 5 users and 5 brands, workflow automation included. Essentials ($39.95/mo) has no workflow automation; Agency Unlimited ($149.99/mo) has no team cap.

Card processing is your processor’s fee (Stripe, Square, PayPal and others), on top of any plan.

Pricing checked October 2026. Each price is the lowest one listed on that vendor’s public pricing page, at one seat unless noted, often with yearly billing. Prices change, so check before you decide. This is an example stack, not a promise of savings for every studio.

From the wedding side of the room
“The morning always depended on hair and makeup running on time.”
Tim, Semuko’s founder, ran a wedding photography business. This setup is built around that morning: the party, the chairs and the clock.
