When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $828/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it invoicing, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most wig specialists in Bloomington juggle Vagaro, Acuity Scheduling, Square, HoneyBook and other monthly services. That's $828/year in tool subscriptions. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, you're looking at $4,140.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single app. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No middleware. No per-connection charges. It's a one-time purchase — eliminate recurring fees from the first day. For wig specialists in Bloomington weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
You start at the wig block, pinning a canvas head to the tripod and picking up where you left off ventilating a custom unit, pulling individual hairs through the lace with the needle so the hairline looks like it grows from the scalp. It's slow, eye-straining work, and a full custom is days of it, which clients never quite believe when they ask for it 'by the weekend.' Mid-morning a client comes in for an install: you prep her hairline, tint the HD lace to match her skin, glue and melt the lace down, then cut and style the unit until it disappears into her edges. She's emotional in the mirror, which a lot of them are. A chemo client has a fitting and you're gentle and unhurried with her, because for her this isn't fashion, it's getting her face back. After lunch you tackle a refresh, washing and re-styling a unit a regular sends in every few months, and a repair where the lace tore at the temple. A bride calls wanting to upgrade her order to HD lace and more density two weeks before the wedding, which changes the price and the build time. The afternoon is keeping the queue straight, customs and installs and repairs all stacked together, each with its own deadline and its own quote.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a wig specialist's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a wig specialist — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
