Hey PH! I built ShadeFile because my partner is a colorist and I watched her flip through a box of index cards every time a client sat down. "What did I use on Sarah last time?" shouldn't require archaeology.
ShadeFile started as a simple formula tracker and grew into a full salon management tool — inventory, analytics, education tracking, team management. It's live now at shadefile.com.
I'd love feedback from anyone in the beauty industry or anyone building niche SaaS. What would make you switch from your current system?
