Hair academies have relationships with salons that span years — product partnerships, in-salon visits, group course bookings, and loyalty earned through commercial performance rather than individual transactions. BOBSTA is built around that reality.
A salon booking a team onto your colour masterclass is different from a one-time ticket buyer. They expect trade pricing, a smooth group booking process, and a relationship that's tracked across every interaction — from the in-salon visit you delivered last quarter to the loyalty points they've accumulated through product sales.
BOBSTA handles all of it. Group pricing that adjusts automatically. Salon accounts with full booking history. A loyalty programme based on commercial relationships, not individual transactions. In-salon training sessions with three payment modes. And automated reminders so no one misses a colour correction workshop because they forgot the date.
Every salon account holds full booking history, loyalty balance, IST points, membership tier, discount rate, and notes — across every location.
Award points based on product sales performance, partnership tier, or volume targets — not per-booking. Salons redeem at checkout on training courses.
Schedule bespoke visits at salon premises with three payment modes: IST Points, Complimentary, or Invoice. Automatic invoice emails sent on confirmation.
Three membership tiers with automatic member pricing. Gold and Platinum salons get Early Access to new masterclasses before general release.
Volume discounts adjust automatically for group bookings. Invoice billing for trade accounts. Deposit payment for bookings made months in advance.
Every course across every academy in one colour-coded calendar — filterable by location, educator, or section. Day, week, or month view.
Built after 20+ years working alongside training businesses. Every feature in BOBSTA exists because a training business owner asked for it. Every workflow was refined until it felt right — not designed in a vacuum by people who've never run a course.
Yes. Customer accounts can represent a salon, with individual delegate capture per booking, invoice billing to the account, and volume-tiered pricing applied automatically at checkout.
You log in as the salon's customer account and create an IST session — selecting the course, educator, date, duration, delivery type, and payment mode (Points, Complimentary, or Invoice). The session appears in the salon's booking history alongside their academy bookings.
Points are awarded manually by your admin team based on your commercial criteria — typically product sales revenue from each salon. Salons redeem those points at checkout when booking training courses.
Yes. Mark any course as Hidden and enable Member Preview. Gold and Platinum salon accounts immediately see it in their catalogue with an Early Access badge, while standard accounts see nothing.
Yes. Unlimited locations with colour-coded calendar views, location-based catalogue filtering, and unified reporting across all sites.
