How it works

This hair appointment tracker is a simple log of every salon visit — past and booked — that turns your history into three useful things: when to book next, what you spend in a year, and what to ask your stylist for next time.

1. Log each appointment

Add the date and time, the service, the salon and stylist, and what you paid. The tip buttons fill in 15, 20 or 25 percent of the price. After the visit, rate it and add notes — the heat setting, the relaxer used, how long the style lasted.

2. How the next visit is suggested

Each appointment has a “next visit in” value in weeks. When you pick a service it starts from a typical interval (for example 10 weeks for a relaxer touch-up, 2 weeks for a silk press), and you can change it to match your hair. For every service, the tool takes your most recent appointment and adds that interval. If you already have a booking for that service, it shows as booked; if the date has passed with nothing booked, it shows as due. “Book this” fills the form for you.

3. Yearly spend

Spending counts appointments that have already happened, price plus tip, for the year you choose, with a breakdown by service and the average per visit. Booked appointments are shown separately as “booked ahead” so the year total only reflects money actually spent.

4. Calendar and PDF

“Add to calendar” creates a timed calendar event with the salon as the location and a reminder the day before. The PDF gives you a printable history and the next-visit plan to bring to a consultation.

Privacy and limits

Your appointments stay in this browser on this device — no account, nothing uploaded. Export a backup to move them to another phone. Suggested intervals are starting points, not medical advice: your stylist’s judgment about new growth, ends and scalp comes first, and pain, sores or thinning edges after a service are reasons to see a dermatologist.

Service intervals and what to note

Service	Typical interval	Our default	Usual chair time	Worth noting for next time
Silk press	1–3 weeks, depending on humidity, workouts and night care	2 weeks	2 h 30 min	Iron temperature, number of passes, heat protectant used, how many days it lasted.
Relaxer touch-up	8–16 weeks — only new growth should be relaxed	10 weeks	2 h	Relaxer brand and strength, processing time, whether the previously relaxed hair was protected.
Braids / twists install	4–8 weeks, then take down and rest your edges	6 weeks	6 h	Size, length, packs of hair used, how tight it felt the first night, takedown date.
Cut or trim	8–16 weeks, or when ends split and knot	12 weeks	1 h	How much was cut and why (splits, shape), how the ends felt a month later.
Color	6–10 weeks for root touch-ups; longer for all-over color that grows out softly	8 weeks	2 h 30 min	Formula and developer if the stylist shares it, processing time, any scalp sensitivity.
Wash & style	1–2 weeks	2 weeks	1 h 30 min	Products used, drying method, how long the style held.
Other	Set your own	—	1 h	Anything you want repeated — or avoided — next time.

Chair times are rough planning defaults for the calendar entry — long braids or color corrections can take much longer.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I get a relaxer touch-up?

Many people relax new growth every 8 to 12 weeks, and some stretch to 16. What matters most is that only the new growth is relaxed — relaxer that overlaps previously relaxed hair weakens it further. Your stylist can tell you when there is enough new growth; our relaxer stretch planner maps out the weeks in between.

How often can I get a silk press?

A silk press usually lasts one to three weeks, depending on humidity, workouts and how you protect it at night. Spacing presses out, using a heat protectant and asking for the lowest temperature that works for your hair all reduce heat damage over time.

How long should I keep braids in?

Box braids and similar styles are commonly worn for about 4 to 8 weeks. Leaving them in longer lets new growth mat at the roots and keeps tension on the same follicles. Tight or heavy braids are a known risk factor for traction alopecia — if braids hurt, itch badly or cause bumps along the hairline, take them out early and see a dermatologist if it doesn’t settle.

How much should I tip my hairstylist?

In the U.S., 15 to 20 percent of the service price is a common tip, and some people tip more for long services such as braids. The tip buttons fill in 15, 20 or 25 percent of the price you enter — change the amount to whatever you actually gave.

What should I write down after a salon visit?

Anything you would want repeated or avoided: the heat setting, relaxer strength and processing time, products used, how long the result lasted and how your scalp felt. The table on this page lists what is worth noting for each service.

How do I add an appointment to my phone calendar?

Tap “Add to calendar” on an upcoming appointment. It downloads a calendar file that opens in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, with a reminder the day before.

Is my appointment history private?

Yes. Appointments, prices and notes are saved in your browser on this device only. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Use “Export backup” to keep a copy.
