Free OpenClaw Skill for Hair Salons: Color Card and Rebook Agent (Download)

What this skill does for your hair salons

• Maintains a color formula card per client (developer volume, base formula, toner, gloss, lift target) accessible at the chair through the stylist's tablet or phone.
• Runs the 6-week color and 4-week haircut rebook chase tuned to whether the client is single-process, balayage, gloss-only, or vivid color.
• Drafts the retail-attach message tied to the actual service (post-balayage purple shampoo, post-keratin sulfate-free shampoo, post-vivid color-protect line) using the salon's actual retail SKUs.
• Owns the new-client first-90-days cadence with the second-visit-within-six-weeks discount nudge that most salons use to lock in a regular cadence.
• Catches at-risk regulars (no visit in 10 weeks for color clients) with a stylist-voice check-in before they drift to a different chair.

# OpenClaw Skill: Hair Salon Color Card and Rebook Agent

## Overview

This skill turns the OpenClaw agent into a color-card-and-rebook layer for
your hair salon. It does not replace the stylist or the front desk: it
amplifies them. The skill owns the 80 to 200 weekly texts (rebook chase,
retail attach, at-risk check-ins, new-client cadence) and the formula card
maintenance so the stylists spend their time at the chair.

Designed for independent stylists, booth-rental and suite-rental pros, and
multi-chair commission salons on Boulevard, Vagaro, Booksy, GlossGenius,
Mangomint, Square Appointments, or Squire.

## What this skill does

1. Maintains a color formula card per client across visits
2. Runs the 6-week color and 4-week haircut rebook chase
3. Drafts retail-attach tied to the actual service performed
4. Owns the new-client first-90-days cadence with second-visit nudge
5. Catches at-risk regulars before they drift to a different chair
6. Reports trailing 30-day rebook rate against the 70-80% target

## Triggers

```yaml
triggers:
  - type: heartbeat
    schedule: "0 10 * * 1"           # Mondays 10am
    action: weekly_rebook_chase

  - type: heartbeat

    action: log_color_formula_and_enter_rebook

  - type: on_event
    event: scheduler.new_client_first_visit
    action: enter_new_client_cadence
```

## Workflow: color formula card

After each color service, the stylist logs the formula in the booking platform's note field. The skill structures it into a formula card:

```yaml
formula_card_example:
  client_id: "..."
  service_date: "2026-04-12"
  stylist: "Alex"
  service_type: balayage_with_gloss
  global_color:
    brand: Redken
    line: Shades EQ
    formula: 8N/9V 9 oz processing solution
  highlights:
    brand: Wella
    lift: 7nh foilayage with 30 vol
    sections: face-frame plus crown
  gloss:
    brand: Redken
    line: Shades EQ
    formula: 9V + 9P
    processing: 20 min
  toner: 09T at bowl
  retail_recommended: [color_extend_blondage_shampoo, color_extend_blondage_conditioner]
  notes: "Lifted clean to 9 in 25 min, no banding. Roots overlapped slightly at part."
```

The card is accessible at the chair on the next visit, removing the formula-rebuild guesswork. Most stylists save 5-10 minutes per color client.

## Workflow: rebook chase

Default cadences (editable in the config block):

- Single-process color: 6 weeks
- Balayage: 10 weeks
- Highlights with retouch: 8 weeks
- Gloss-only refresh: 5 weeks
- Vivid color: 4 weeks (for vivid maintenance)
- Cut only: 5 weeks for short, 8-10 weeks for long
- Keratin treatment: 12 weeks
- Extensions move-up: 6-8 weeks per the install type

For each completed service, the agent:

1. Logs the next rebook window date based on the service type
2. At rebook_date - 7, drafts a rebook nudge with the actual open slots
3. At rebook_date + 14 with no rebook, drafts the cadence-slipping check-in
4. Past rebook_date + 30, flags to the stylist for a personal note

## Workflow: retail attach

Every Wednesday at 2pm the agent:

1. Reviews services completed in the last 5 days
2. For each client, looks up the recommended retail products tied to the service
3. Cross-checks the client's 90-day retail purchase history
4. Drafts a personalized retail-attach message tied to the actual service

Default service-to-retail mappings (editable):

```yaml
retail_attach_defaults:
  balayage:
    primary: [redken_color_extend_blondage_shampoo, redken_color_extend_blondage_conditioner]
    optional: [purple_shampoo_tonal]
  vivid_color:
    primary: [color_protect_shampoo, color_protect_conditioner]
    optional: [tonal_refresh_mask]
  keratin_treatment:
    primary: [sulfate_free_shampoo, sulfate_free_conditioner]
    optional: [heat_protectant_spray]
  highlights:
    primary: [bond_builder_treatment, color_extend_shampoo]
  cut_only:
    primary: [stylist_recommended_styling_product]
```

Salons running Aveda swap in the Aveda lines. Salons using Davines or Olaplex swap accordingly. The skill works on whatever retail line the salon stocks.

## Workflow: new-client first 90 days

When a new client's first visit completes, the agent enters the new-client cadence:

- Day 1: thank-you note with the formula card link if applicable and a retail recommendation
- Day 5: check-in on the cut or color result
- Day 30: "second visit within 6 weeks gets X" message per the salon's new-client incentive
- Day 45 (if no second visit): personal note from the stylist
- Day 90: 90-day check-in and review request

Locking in the second visit within the first 6 weeks is the single highest-leverage retention move in hair. Most salons see a meaningful jump in 6-month retention from this cadence.

## Workflow: at-risk regular check-in

Every Friday at 8am the agent:

1. Pulls the list of color clients on a 6-week cadence
2. Flags any client at week 10+ with no rebook
3. Pulls the list of cut-only clients on a 5-week cadence
4. Flags any client at week 8+ with no rebook
5. References the client's formula card or cut style in the check-in
6. Drafts a stylist-voice check-in routed for approval

## Message templates

```yaml
templates:
  rebook_color_week_5:
    body: |
      Hi {client_first_name},

      Your color is at week 5 with {stylist_first_name}. The 6-week
      cadence is what keeps the {color_descriptor} fresh and avoids the
      banding line at the part.

      Open slots:
      {open_slots}

      Pick whichever works.

      {front_desk_first_name} at {salon_name}

  rebook_balayage_week_9:
    body: |
      Hi {client_first_name},

      You are at week 9 since your balayage with {stylist_first_name}.
      The 10-week refresh is the cadence we agreed on to keep the
      face-frame bright.

      Open slots in the next 2 weeks:
      {open_slots}

      {front_desk_first_name}

  retail_attach_post_balayage:
    body: |
      Hi {client_first_name},

      {stylist_first_name} mentioned the {recommended_sku} would keep
      the blonde clean between visits. Most of our balayage clients use
      it once or twice a week.

      Want me to set one aside for next visit, or ship it?

      {front_desk_first_name}

  new_client_day_30_second_visit:
    body: |
      Hi {client_first_name},

      It has been a month since {stylist_first_name} did your
      {first_visit_service}. Locking in the second visit within the
      next 2 weeks gets you {new_client_incentive}.

      Open slots:
      {open_slots}

      {front_desk_first_name}

  at_risk_regular_color:
    body: |
      Hi {client_first_name},

      {stylist_first_name} here. It has been about 10 weeks since I
      saw you, and I miss the chair. Last time we did
      {last_service_summary} and it would be a good moment to refresh.

      My open slots:
      {open_slots}

      Reach back even if life is busy and we will work it out.

      {stylist_first_name}

  formula_card_at_chair:
    channel: stylist_console
    body: |
      FORMULA CARD: {client_first_name} {client_last_name}
      Last visit: {last_service_date}
      Service: {last_service_type}
      Global: {global_formula}
      Highlights: {highlight_formula}
      Gloss: {gloss_formula}
      Notes: {stylist_notes}
      Recommended retail: {recommended_retail}
```

| OpenClaw Heartbeat  | Scheduled cadence triggers                         | yes  | yes   |

Write-backs to the platform are optional. Most salons start read-only and have the stylist or front desk commit any schedule changes manually. Once you trust the agent, flip write access on for low-risk fields (client tags, rebook reminder stamps, retail wishlist).

## Color line conventions

The skill ships structured formula parsers for:

- Redken Shades EQ
- Redken Color Gels Lacquers
- Wella Koleston Perfect
- Wella Color Touch
- Schwarzkopf Igora Royal
- Schwarzkopf Igora Vibrance
- Aveda Full Spectrum
- Goldwell Topchic
- Pulp Riot Hair
- Pravana ChromaSilk
- Davines View / Mask With Vibrachrom

Stylists using a different line enter the formula in free-form text and the skill stores it as a string. The parser is convenience, not gatekeeping.

## Want it wired to your stack?

This SKILL.md is the starting point. If you want it plugged into your specific
platform, color line, retail shelf, and stylist voice on a fixed-price
two-week clock, with the founder writing every line of the build, the door
is at https://www.adhirajhangal.com/work

Install in 60 seconds

1. 1

   Drop the file into your OpenClaw skills directory

   Save the downloaded hair-salons.md as ~/.claude/skills/hair-salon-color-card-and-rebook.md (or your project-level .claude/skills/ if you scope it per stylist). OpenClaw picks up new skill files on next agent launch, no restart command required.

2. 2

   Connect your booking platform

   Edit the integrations block to point at your Boulevard, Vagaro, Booksy, GlossGenius, or Mangomint export. Read-only access is enough to start. The skill ships the prompts that translate your daily roster, color formula notes, and retail SKU list into the agent's working memory.

3. 3

   Start in stylist approval mode, validate, then move to autonomous

   Run for two weeks with the stylist or salon manager approving every outbound text. The skill defaults route any service-quality complaint, refund discussion, or new-client consult to a human. After two weeks, flip the rebook cadence and color-cadence reminders to autonomous and exception-handle everything else.
