Your Instagram DMs are completely flooded
A booking request should not live beside a formula question, a photo and a late-night reschedule.
For independent colorists
When one double-booking can throw your whole day.
Put flooded DMs, color visits and today’s money in one workspace built around the way you work.

A ten-minute delay can make the day feel shot
Root Color, Balayage and a last-minute Styling Finish have different timing. Your calendar needs to hold the shape of the work.
‘I’ll pay next time’ is still a loose end
Record what was actually received, see what is outstanding, and keep Color Product and Disposable Supplies in view.
When the day gets shot, you still know what is next.
Perelai keeps the work of a color day visible without asking you to reconstruct it at night.
- 1
Consultation and Strand Test
Start the Visit with the service that sets the color plan.
- 2

Payment and follow-up
Leave with the amount received, outstanding work and the next decision visible in the Operational Inbox.
The words in your chair have a place in Perelai.
| In your chair | In Perelai | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| A Root Color, Balayage or Gloss & Toner | Visit | Keep the service, client notes and payment activity together. |
| Bond Treatment, Extra Product for Long Hair or Styling Finish | Add-ons | Attach the extra work to the Visit that needs it. |
| Color Product and Disposable Supplies | Linked expenses | See costs alongside the work they belong to. |
| A prepaid set of color refreshes | Package | Prepaid credits draw down as Visits are used. |
| ‘She’ll settle next time’ | Order | Track what is still owed without calling it an invoice or bill. |
| Letting a client know money was received | Payment confirmation | Send a confirmation your client can open from a link. |
| What still needs your decision after the last client | Operational Inbox item | It stays until you resolve it, not until you read it. |
Start with the color work you already do.
No generic blank list. The colorist template starts with editable services, add-ons and linked expenses.

Perelai runs in your browser. Installing it is optional. How you open Perelai
Clear about what it is not.
Perelai is for running the client, booking and money side of your color work. It does not pretend to replace specialist tools.
Not accounting software
It tracks what was booked, completed and paid for cash-flow visibility. It is not tax filing or financial advice.
Not a marketplace
Your booking link is yours. Perelai does not rent the client relationship.
Not a medical record system
It does not provide clinical records, diagnosis tracking or patient treatment management.
Questions colorists ask before switching.
Will my color services already be there?
Yes. The independent colorist template starts with six editable services, including Root Color, Dimensional Color / Balayage, Corrective Color, Gloss & Toner, and Haircut & Finish. It also includes Bond Treatment, Extra Product for Long Hair and Styling Finish as add-ons.
Can clients stop booking through my DMs?
Share one booking link in your bio or send it in a message. Clients pick a service, a person and a time.
What happens when someone does not show?
Perelai can send automatic reminders by email, in-app and push. It records work and money separately, so a missed Visit is not treated as money received.
Can I see whether a color day actually paid off?
Record what was actually received, link Color Product and Disposable Supplies to the relevant work, and see revenue, costs and what is still outstanding without a spreadsheet.
Do I have to move everything in one weekend?
No. Start with contacts from your phone using vCard and optionally connect Google Calendar. The service list is already editable, so you can make it yours as you go.
Keep the color work moving, without rebuilding the day later.
