Frequently Asked Questions
- How does Happ help hair stylists?
Happ is the homebase for independent hair stylists. It brings all your Collaborations into one mobile-first workspace - contracts, payments, and billing. Pricing and contract terms draw on the entire creator network, so you quote from real data. Price each talent as its own line item, set change-order rates, and document kit and product costs.
- How do I price multi-talent shoots correctly?
Smart Legal Terms surfaces a per-talent pricing clause. Each talent is its own line item with its own rate.
- What happens when the look changes mid-shoot?
A change-order clause in your agreement defines the rate for additional looks beyond the agreed scope. Each new look is billed against the agreement.
- How do I document kit fees and product costs?
Smart Legal Terms surfaces a kit fee clause with product reimbursement terms and rental rates.
- What if a Collaborator wants to use my work in markets or formats I did not agree to?
Usage rights in your agreement define where your work can appear. Each new use is a new agreement you negotiate and invoice for.
- What if a shoot gets cancelled last minute?
Your agreement includes a tiered kill fee. You define the windows.
- How does Happ keep track of all my Collaborators and Collaborations?
Every Collaborator is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history.
- Do I need a contract for a hair styling job?
For any paid booking - editorial, on-set, or bridal - yes. Happ's Smart Legal Terms surfaces clauses for per-talent pricing, change orders, kit fees, and cancellation, and you decide which apply. Happ suggests, you decide.
- How much should I charge as a hair stylist?
Happ does not set your rates - Smart Pricing surfaces relevant benchmarks from the community brain, so you can price a day rate, a bridal package, or a multi-talent shoot with real market context. You set the number, and the terms lock into the agreement before the booking.
- How do hair stylists invoice clients and get paid?
Invoicing is tied to the signed agreement - deposit on booking, balance plus any change orders on the day - paid straight through Happ. Happ never takes a commission on your work; the only cost is a standard payment processing fee that depends on how your Collaborator pays, always shown to you upfront. Every booking's payment status lives in your Homebase.
