Beauty Business Budgeting
Made Simple

Running a beauty business isn’t just about bookings — it’s about understanding what you actually earn, what you spend, and what you get to keep.

​

Most beauty professionals never see their real numbers until tax time. By then, it’s too late to fix pricing mistakes, overspending, or cash flow issues.

​

70Lives is a beauty business budgeting and financial planning app built to change that.

Why Budgeting Is So Hard for Beauty Professionals 

​

Beauty businesses are different from traditional small businesses.

​

Income changes week to week.
Costs fluctuate constantly.
Products, rent, utilities, and tools are often paid personally and reimbursed later.

​

Generic budgeting tools weren’t built for:

​

  • treatment-based pricing

  • chair rent or booth rent

  • product usage per service

  • irregular income​

 

As a result, many beauty professionals:

​

  • underprice their services

  • underestimate costs

  • get unexpected tax bills

  • feel busy but not profitable

 

A Budgeting App Designed Specifically for Beauty Businesses

​

70Lives isn’t generic bookkeeping software. It’s a finance clarity tool built specifically for beauty professionals.

​

  • Track income and expenses in real time
