Preferred Partners & Professional Resources

At B.A.B.E., we want to help provide you with resources you can utilize in your career. We also believe in community and collaboration over competition.  On this page you will find partners and resources we feel can bring value to you and your career.

Whether you are an employee, booth renter - solo owner, or own a salon or spa with a team, we believe our work takes a village. While you CAN do it all, you can do MORE with help. You don't have to do it alone. That is why we created this list to help provide some trusted resources and partners to provide you tools, equipment, or services to help you along your journey.

Booking, Hardware and Software:

Shopify:

The global commerce platform. Build your business with Shopify to sell online, offline and everywhere in between.

After using for several years with two businesses, I can comfortably say I love using Shopify. It is an e-commerce platform that has solutions for just about everything I can imagine so you likely won't grow out of it. There are currently millions of people with a business on Shopify.

Their customer service is extremely helpful and they have several resources you can troubleshoot on your own as well. Shopify also has a POS or point of sale system and capabilities so you can use your business either in your storefront, spa or salon or take it to events and still have your selling capabilities. If you are looking for a new selling platform, I highly recommend Shopify. Click here to check it out!

Vagaro Pro:

Having used Vagaro Pro for over a decade in my own practice, I can say I have always had a great experience. The very few times I have needed assistance, their customer service has been exceptional. They provide a booking system, hardware, software, credit card processing, online store, point of sale, email or text marketing, website, opportunity to add digital consultation forms, reports all customized for your branding and more. Click here to receive your first month free!
