When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,008/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 solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most microblading artists in Canton cobble together Vagaro, Booksy, Acuity Scheduling along with other platforms. That's $1,008/year in tool subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $5,040.
Nexa means you own your business software. Your CRM, invoicing, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single solution. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No third-party glue. No integration tax. It's a lifetime license — save money the moment you switch. For microblading artists in Canton 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.
Two appointments today: a new client microblade ($450, 2.5 hours) and a touch-up from 7 weeks ago ($0 included, 1.5 hours). The free touch-up costs you $25 in supplies and 1.5 hours of chair time. A prospective client no-showed their consultation this morning. Your afternoon is open but you can't fill a microblading slot on same-day notice. You're booked 3 weeks out for new clients.
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 microblading 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 microblading 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.
