Find a braider near you
Search by city or state, view their portfolio, book a video consult or appointment, and message them — all on BraidAppt. One platform, start to finish.
Find, consult, book, and message — without leaving BraidAppt
Most stylists juggle Instagram, Cash App, Google Calendar, FaceTime, and group texts.BraidAppt replaces that patchwork with one platform: discovery, portfolios, scheduling, deposits, policies, video consults, and client messaging — start to finish.
- Directory across 50 US states
- Public page + online booking
- Video & in-person consults
- Built-in messaging inbox
- 30-photo portfolio gallery
- Deposits, waitlist & reviews
Virtual consultations that never leave the platform
Other booking tools send you to Zoom. We built video consults inside BraidAppt — because the moment you say “hop on FaceTime,” you've lost the client, the context, and the booking. Here, consult → chat → full appointment stays in one thread.
- 1
Client books a video consult
From your public page or booking link — same flow as any appointment. No separate app, no "what's your number for FaceTime?"
- 2
You both join inside BraidAppt
Video room, live chat, and consult details in one place. You never hand off to another platform mid-conversation.

They book the full appointment next
Aligned on style, length, and price? They schedule the real appointment right there — messaging, history, and booking all connected.
Charge for consults or offer them free. Make them optional or required before a full booking — you control the rules from your dashboard.
Everything we offer — in one place
For braiders running a business and clients booking their next style. No add-ons, no “download our other app for video.” This is the whole shop.
US braider directory
Clients search by city, state, or name across all 50 states. Your profile shows up where people are already looking — not buried in an algorithm.
Your own booking page
A branded page at braidappt.com/yourname with your services, prices, portfolio, policies, and reviews. One link for your bio, business card, and Google listing.
Online scheduling
Clients pick a time slot, agree to your rules, and confirm — no more back-and-forth about availability. You see everything on your dashboard calendar.
Video consults — on the platformBuilt in
Run style consults inside BraidAppt. No switching to FaceTime, Zoom, or Google Meet. Book the call, join the room, and message the client — all without leaving your chair or the app.
In-person consultations
Offer a quick in-studio consult before a full appointment. Clients book it the same way they book braids — optional or required, you decide.
Client messaging inbox
Every conversation tied to a booking lives in one inbox — for you and for clients. Stop losing threads across Instagram DMs and text messages.
Portfolio gallery
Up to 30 photos of your work. Clients tap any image to view it full size before they book — so they know exactly what they're getting.
Deposits & pricing
Set fixed or percentage deposits, show prices upfront, and cut down on no-shows. Clients see what they owe before they confirm.
Policies that stick
Cancellation rules, late policies, and prep instructions clients must agree to before booking. Written once, enforced every time.
Waitlist
Fully booked? Clients join your waitlist from your public page. You fill openings without reposting your availability every week.
Reviews & favorites
Collect reviews on your page. Clients save favorite stylists and braid styles on their dashboard — so they come back to you, not a random DM.
Stop losing bookings in your DMs
You didn't spend years perfecting your craft to spend half your day answering “how much?” and “you got any openings?” BraidAppt is your one-stop shop — page, calendar, consults, inbox, and deposits under one roof.
- Clients ask your price in the DMs, then disappear when you reply.
- Your calendar lives across texts, Instagram, and Cash App — nothing talks to each other.
- New clients in your city can't find you unless you post every single day.
14-day trial, then $20/month. Less than one no-show costs you. Free for clients.
