Inventory for beauty professionals

Track what you have in stock, and get an email before it runs out.

Shelfwise keeps your product list, your stock counts and your reorder list in one place. Set a low stock threshold on each product, and the email arrives while there is still time to order.

It is built for the day the clear lash adhesive is nearly empty and the bridal booking is on Saturday. You should hear about that three weeks earlier, on a Tuesday, with time to put it in an order.

No card needed to start. US dollars, billed monthly, cancel any time. Solo is $12 a month, Studio is $29.

The Shelfwise overview page for a studio called Olga Angel Beauty. Four summary panels show 8 products tracked, 5 at or below threshold, low stock emails on, and 14 days left of the free trial until October 27, 2026. Below is a Needs reordering table listing Gel polish 08 Rosewood, Lash adhesive clear 5ml, Foundation 05 Golden Beige, Foundation 08 Warm Sand and Nail tips stiletto 100pk with their stock and thresholds, then a Recent stock changes table with notes such as Bottle tipped over and Stiletto tips.
The overview for a working account: what is low, and what moved recently.

How it works

Three habits, and the only one that takes any time is the second one.

  1. 1

    Add the products you run out of most

    Name, SKU, brand, unit cost, and how many you like to keep on the shelf. Lash adhesive, clear, 5ml, SKU LA-5-CLR, two in the drawer. That number becomes the low stock threshold.

  2. 2

    Tap plus or minus as you work

    One tap per client. Add a short note if it helps, like which shade you used or that it was a bridal booking. Every change is recorded, which is what makes the monthly report add up without a spreadsheet.

  3. 3

    Order before you run out, not after

    When stock reaches the threshold, Shelfwise emails everyone on the studio. You get one email per product, and it stays quiet until you restock above the threshold.

What is in the software

Every one of these is running in the app today. There is nothing on this list waiting to be built.

A catalog with the details that matter

SKU, brand, category, unit cost, reorder quantity and a notes field for the things you forget between orders. Search and filter by name, SKU or brand.

Plus and minus straight on the list

Record what you used in one tap. Corrections and stocktakes are recorded separately from client usage, so the monthly cost figure stays honest.

Low stock email, once per product

Set a threshold per product and the alert goes out from the support mailbox to everyone signed in to your studio. It will not email again until you restock.

A reorder list you can act on

Everything at or below its threshold, with the quantity you usually buy and the estimated cost of the order. Export it as a CSV on the Studio plan.

Monthly usage and cost report

What went out, what it cost you, what you wasted and what you restocked, per product, for any month.

Up to five people on Studio

The front desk can see what is low without sharing one login, and you can see who recorded each change.

Who uses it

Freelance makeup artists

Foundation shades, setting spray and disposables. The shade that runs out before a wedding is usually the one you use on the bride.

Estheticians

Treatment room consumables with a shelf life. Track what you opened and when, so a bottle does not expire at the back of a cupboard.

Nail techs

Gel polish by number, plus tips, files and monomer. You will know when 08 Rosewood is down to its last use before a rebooking.

Small salons

One supply cupboard, several people taking from it. Everyone sees the same count, and the order happens once.

Pricing

Two plans. Both are billed monthly in US dollars and both can be cancelled any time. The trial is 14 days of Studio with no card involved.

Solo

One person working alone.

Questions people ask before signing up

How does the free trial work?

You get 14 days of the Studio plan, with every feature switched on. You are not asked for a card, and the trial does not turn into a paid plan on its own. The billing page shows the exact date it ends.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your catalog, stock history and monthly reports stay readable, and you can still sign in. Editing stops until you subscribe. Nothing is deleted, and nothing is charged.

How much does it cost after the trial?

Solo is $12 a month for one user and up to 300 products. Studio is $29 a month for up to 5 users and unlimited products, and it adds CSV export. Both are billed in US dollars, monthly.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time. Cancel from the billing page or by emailing support. You keep access to the end of the month you already paid for, and the plan does not renew. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum term.

Do I need a card to start?

No. The trial starts without one. A card is only needed if you decide to subscribe after the trial, and card payments are not switched on yet, so for now subscribing is arranged by email.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Moving up to Studio adds users and CSV export straight away. Moving down to Solo takes effect at the next month, so you keep what you paid for.

What if I need more than 5 users?

Email support with how many people you have and we will work it out with you. There is no fixed larger plan yet, and we would rather not invent one until you need it.

Where is my data stored?

In a MariaDB database on the same hosting account that serves the site, in the United States. Passwords are stored as one-way hashes and are never written down or emailed back to you.

Who can see my stock levels?

Only the people signed in to your studio. One studio can never see another studio, and every query is scoped to your account before it runs.

Do you sell my data?

No. There is no advertising code on the site, no analytics script, and no third party that receives your data. What you enter is used to run your account and nothing else.

How do you handle payments?

Card payments are not switched on yet, so no card details are collected anywhere on this site. When they are, card data will go straight to a payment provider and never through our server.

Start with the bottle you are about to run out of

Add one product, set its threshold, and see whether the email reaches you in time. The trial is $0 for 14 days and does not need a card.
