Your questions, answered
Who’s behind Unwritten?
Unwritten is the brainchild of two Aussie business dudes with one bloody great idea – an idea that would empower a growing legion of unsung heroes, embrace the exiled, muscle up the underdogs… champion the Indies!
Who’s who?
Rob Aubin has worked in the hairdressing industry for more than 20 years, in software with Shortcuts Software and professional haircare in his family’s business distributing Matrix, La Biosthetique and Great Lengths, while simultaneously leading the education charge with Pivot Point.
Hayden Brooks is an entrepreneurial problem solver – he’s spent two decades working with tradies and improving businesses in finance, property and construction.
Both are Sydney-based mates, on a mission to help the Indie community grow strong, successful solo businesses. Read more about their ‘why’ here.
Do I have to use both the App and the Haircare, or can I choose one or the other?
You could use the App as your business management tool, and continue on your merry way ordering back basin and retail as you do now. Maybe you just want to manage your appointments in Unwritten and use an alternative point of sale.
Perhaps you love your salon software and you’re just here for the side hustle of set-and-forget commission. Great! Open your online shop front, share your unique link and you’re in business. People who purchase the product through your link will generate commission for you, and it’s paid every week.
It’s all up to you!
And of course, you could go in deeeeeeep and completely nerd out on Unwritten. Using the whole ecosystem to its full potential puts you in the best position to get your hands on an easier life and more money.
But those are just a few ways you can make Unwritten work for you! Actually, we’re excited to see just how many genius ways our Indies find to use the ecosystem for their business growth and success. Bring it!
How much does the App cost?
The only financial outlay for you will be if you opt for SMS appointment reminders for 9c each, and standard transaction fees charged at 1.75% + 30c per transaction as set down by Stripe (our chosen payment gateway).
How does the commission work?
But wait, get this. The tech is SO super nerdy, that when someone purchases directly from you or your unique link once, the system automatically recognises them as your customer when they log in to the Unwritten online shop to buy again. They don’t even need to use your unique link! And to encourage them to log in for every future purchase instead of checking out as a guest, we’ll give them a discount on their products when they do.
So, that commission ?
We know what you REALLY want to know is “how much commission do I get?”. Keep in mind, a huuuuuuge part of Unwritten is about helping you earn passive income, so trust us when we say the commission rates are industry-leading (i.e. ah-mazing!).
Make sure you get early access here so you can view the commission table in the App as soon as it arrives.
Btw – your phone will be buzzing every time you make a sale! Yep, you’ll be able to track your commission in real time via your dashboard in the App, and the best bit is, we pay it to you weekly, so you’ll always have funds for Friday Happy Hour. Cheers to that!
Can I order and sell products without using the appointment book or POS?
Yep! You sure can! The Unwritten app is flexible and is used in many different ways depending on how you run your business. If you only want to buy and drop-ship products, you dont need to use the appointments, POS or anything else. You can get your own free eCommerce store with drop-shipping just by downloading the app and creating your profile – 5 mins tops!
Is the App just for hairdressers?
That being said, we love a multi-tasker. For example, if you’re a hair and make-up artist, go for gold!
How do I get started?
It’s super easy. Get early access here first and we’ll let you know when the App is ready for download. When you get the message, just follow the prompts to get set up… it’ll take you less than 15 minutes, seriously!

Unwritten is the only app designed to help Aussie independent hairdressers simplify their admin and grow a profitable business.
Unwritten has been designed to be the best free app for independent hairdressers. Since our app is designed specifically for independent hairdressers. What do we mean when we say independent hairdresser? If you are a mobile hairdresser, have a home salon or home studio, work in a salon suite, rent a chair in a salon or in a co-working space, or you are a session stylist or wedding hair stylist or you do a mix of any of these, you are an independent hairdresser, or as we like to call you lot, an ‘indie’ hairdresser.
Why is it so important that independent or indie hairdressers have their own app?
Well, software built for hair salons, beauty salons, gyms, yoga studios, tattoo parlours, bars, restaurants are not designed specifically for indie hairdressers. Their new features have to make lots of people in lots of different industries happy. We believe that an app for indie hairdressers delivers an easier to manage, less complex and less expensive business tool.
