Day-to-day salon work lives in the main sidebar. Account menu Settings opens Profile. Studio catalogs, Financial, Growth, and most configuration live in the Settings workspace. Knowing which surface you are in saves clicks when you need a catalog versus the calendar.

Two places you switch between

Use the main sidebar to run the salon today: schedule, clients, inventory, offers, insights, pages, and Orya AI. Open Settings when you need Profile, Studio catalogs, Financial, Growth, or how the location behaves.

Simple rule

Operate on the main sidebar. Configure under Settings. Services and professionals live in Settings → Studio, not as extra main-nav roots.

Main sidebar roots

  1. Daily work: Dashboard, Calendar, Clients, and Get Started while required setup is incomplete.
  2. Product hubs: Inventory, Offers, Insights, Page Builder, and Orya AI.
  3. Insights contains Reports. AI Insights and staff Run History are retired; Orya AI has its own sidebar entry.

Offers and Financial are different places

Packages, memberships, and gift cards live under Offers on the main sidebar. Financial (transaction history and reconciliation) lives in Settings, after Studio. There is no Commerce container.

Account menu entries

The account menu in the sidebar footer reaches Settings, Help & Support, and Sign out, and shows the active location card for the place your screens use.

Open Settings from the account menu

  1. Open the account menu in the sidebar footer.
  2. Choose Settings to open Profile.
  3. From the Settings sidebar, switch to Studio, Financial, Growth, Booking & operations, Payments & plans, or another category.
  4. Choose the Active salon card to switch locations.

Studio, Financial, and Growth in Settings

  1. Inside Settings, the sidebar lists Personal, Studio, Financial, Growth, and the other configuration categories.
  2. Under Studio, open Services, Professionals, or Salons for your active location.
  3. Under Financial, open Transaction History or Reconciliation. Under Growth, open Automations and related marketing tools.

Check Active salon

Studio catalogs follow the location you are working in. Switch location before editing if you manage more than one place.

Other Settings categories

  1. Open Booking & operations for hours and booking rules.
  2. Open Payments & plans for Stripe Connect (client card payments) and your Orya subscription.
  3. Choose Team & access, Client experience, Integrations, or AI when you need those pages. Each item keeps its existing access.

Hours and payments

Business hours and payment setup live in Settings, not under Studio. Checklist handoffs for those milestones open the matching configuration pages.

Return to the main sidebar

When you finish editing catalogs or settings, leave Settings so the calendar and clients list are one click away again on the main sidebar.

Leave Settings

  1. In Settings, choose Back to Dashboard.
  2. Confirm you are back on the main sidebar for day-to-day work.

Learn navigation guided tour

The navigation tour opens a short guided walkthrough on the dashboard that highlights daily work, the product hubs, the account menu, and that Settings opens Profile.

Start Learn navigation

  1. From Get Started, choose Learn navigation.
  2. Follow the tour highlights on the dashboard.
  3. Once you are inside Settings, use the separate settings tour for Studio and the other configuration categories.
