Can your current prices and schedule actually support the income you want?
Steadyhour connects your services, costs, working hours and booking capacity into one plan—so you can see what may need to change before you change your business.
This is for you if…
- You’re a licensed solo esthetician in the US or Canada — suite, rented room or home studio.
- You already have paying clients and set your own prices.
- You suspect your prices or volume don’t quite support what you want to earn — and would rather see the numbers than guess.
- You’re still in school or haven’t started seeing clients.
- You run a salon with employees and need payroll or commission analysis.
- You need tax or accounting software — this is a planning tool.
Your booking app knows your schedule. It doesn’t know whether it pays you.
Your booking software can tell you when clients are coming in. Steadyhour helps you model whether your prices, service mix and realistic booking capacity support the business you’re trying to build.
“Fully booked but still broke.”
“Why am I booked but not making any money?”
“Parked at $5k, $7k or $9k months and I can’t figure out why.”
From our customer-language research — verbatim phrases, not testimonials.
More than a service pricing calculator.
An individual service can look profitable and your overall business plan can still fall short.
Steadyhour brings your prices, service mix, costs, available hours and booking capacity together so you can see the whole picture.
- 1How booked do I actually need to be?
- 2Can my current prices support my income goal?
- 3Which services put the most pressure on my plan?
- 4What changes if I adjust pricing or bookings?

Demo numbers · Maya’s Skin Studio is a fictional studio. Yours will differ. Planning estimates, not accounting or tax advice.
Every service gets a number — and a colour.
Minutes, turnover, product cost, price. Each service is checked against your business bar — the contribution per booked hour your whole plan needs — so you can see which services put pressure on your plan.

Suggested prices are suggestions — whether your market supports them is your call.
Same bookings. Same hours. Priced to her goal.
Maya’s $95 Signature Facial contributes about $60 per booked hour against an $85 bar. One tap applies suggested prices to every service below it.

A modelled scenario, not a predicted outcome: it assumes bookings don’t change when prices do. The engine can’t predict how clients react. Suggested prices are suggestions — your market is your call.
