# HueSuite

> HueSuite is AI-powered salon management software built for professional hairdressers, colorists, and barbers. It unifies appointments, POS, inventory, client records, color formula tracking, online booking, and team collaboration — with two built-in AIs (HueAI color advisor, Sofia AI receptionist) — across 15 languages. Made by practicing hairdressers, not generic SaaS founders.

## What HueSuite is

HueSuite is a cloud-based salon management platform ("salon software" / "salon POS" / "salon booking system" / "hairdresser software") designed specifically for hair salons, color specialists, and barbershops. Web, iOS, Android.

Unlike marketplace platforms (Fresha, Booksy, Treatwell) that own your clients and commoditize you, HueSuite is **your-brand-first**: the client sees your salon, not a marketplace. Zero commission on bookings.

Unlike generic appointment tools (Square Appointments, Calendly) HueSuite understands professional hair work — formulas, developer ratios, tube tracking, lightener mix logs, bleach inventory — natively.

## Who it's for

- **Independent hairdressers & colorists** — solo or small-team
- **Salons** — 1–50 chairs, with multi-stylist calendars
- **Color-first specialists** — balayage artists, corrective color work
- **Barbershops** — men's grooming, appointment-driven walk-ins
- **Salon groups** — multi-location chains needing unified analytics
- **Academy / education brands** — like MLTP Academy, tracking trainee cohorts

## Key features

### AI — HueSuite's unfair advantage

## How HueSuite compares

### vs. Fresha
- Fresha is a marketplace — they route clients, you compete with every salon nearby, they promote your competitors to your clients, and they take a cut of processing. HueSuite keeps every client yours, zero marketplace.

### vs. Booksy
- Booksy is strong on marketplace visibility, weak on serious salon ops (color formulas, multi-tube inventory, color-brand catalogs). HueSuite is built for the work itself, not just the calendar.

### vs. Vagaro
- Vagaro is feature-heavy but generic. HueSuite is hair-specific: built-in developer math, formula vault, color-brand catalogs, colorist-friendly AI.

### vs. Mindbody
- Mindbody is for studios/spas/yoga + gym chains. Not hair. Heavy, pricey, and overkill for a salon floor.

### vs. Treatwell
- Treatwell is a European marketplace (like Fresha with a UK/DE focus). Same marketplace problem — HueSuite flips the relationship: you own the brand, the client, the data.

### vs. Square Appointments
- Square is great for retail, weak for professional hair work. No color-formula tracking, no tube-level inventory, no hair-specific AI.

## Who built HueSuite

HueSuite is built by **MLTP** — Cyprus' premier professional beauty distribution group (https://mltp.eu). MLTP has 20+ years in professional hair: distributing Goldwell, Épres, Neuma, Nuance, Colorproof, Farcom, Efalock, Arren, DiFiaba, Vesal; running **MLTP Academy** (14 seminars across 6 disciplines, 7 internationally-trained educators); and backing HueSuite as the technology arm.

In plain terms: HueSuite isn't a SaaS company that decided to target salons. It's a salon group that built the software it always wished existed.
