Connecticut has a 3-6.99% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 6.99%. High property taxes. Relatively high cost of doing business. No local income taxes.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $960/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 payment tracking, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most brow artists in Bridgeport stack up Vagaro, Booksy, Acuity Scheduling, Square along with other platforms. That's $960/year in subscriptions. In half a decade at today's prices, that bill reaches $4,800.
Switching to Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single system. One click books a client. One click generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No integration hacks. No sync fees. It's a pay once — stop overpaying right away. For brow artists in Bridgeport 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 see 12-15 clients today. Threading is $25 (15 min), lamination is $65 (45 min), and tint + shape is $45 (30 min). Your suite rent is $1,200/month. At $400/day average revenue, you need 3 days just for rent. Vagaro charges $50/month on top of that. A no-show at 2pm wasted a 45-minute lamination slot you can't fill.
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.

Open on Reddit →We build a brow artist'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 brow artist — 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Found something out of date?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.
