Stylist and business coach Ruth Lundstrom has officially launched The Freelance Suite – the first app (with bluetooth scales) of its kind built specifically for freelancers in the hair and beauty industry who are looking for smarter pricing and business solutions.
Created by a hairdresser, for hairdressers, The Freelance Suite app + digital bluetooth scales is designed to take the guesswork out of pricing, giving freelancers the confidence to charge correctly while also offering practical business advice. By combining Ruth’s 20+ years of industry expertise with step-by-step in-app guidance, the platform empowers freelancers to educate themselves, grow their businesses, and ultimately get paid what they’re truly worth.
How It Works
Inside the app, users can build a detailed business structure by entering their target annual profits and expenses. The Freelance Suite then calculates suggested service prices that reflect all costs — not just product usage. Freelancers also receive free, tailored guidance and business advice directly within the app, making it a true pocket-sized coach.
Ruth describes it best:
“My app + digital scales is like having me in your pocket 24/7 — ready to download confidence and advice whenever you need it. I know why so many of us struggle to charge correctly, and it isn’t just about the maths. It’s deeper. I want to help freelancers, especially young people and women, recognise their value — both in our industry and in the world.”
Early Success & Recognition
The launch has already been a huge success. Within the first two weeks, The Freelance Suite saw more than 630 downloads and over 500 active subscriptions — with glowing feedback from early adopters.
One stylist shared:
“Are you tired of forever second-guessing your prices? No more! This app is an absolute godsend. It’s sleek, easy to use, and instantly shows your true costs — so practical and helpful for freelancers like me.”
And the industry has already taken notice. The Good Salon Guide recently featured the launch in its article, “The Freelance Suite Launches Pricing App”, further cementing its position as a must-have tool for freelancers in the beauty space.
Why It’s Different
Unlike competitor apps that focus narrowly on reducing colour waste, The Freelance Suite takes a holistic approach. Its unique selling point is clear:
- Built for freelancers (not just large salons)
- Prices include all costs — product, time, overheads, and more
- Focused on profit through fair pricing, not just cutting waste
This makes it the only app currently on the market dedicated solely to helping freelancers price their services accurately and confidently.
