ANHC PRO’s First Tech Tuesday – February 2026
The way stylists collaborate with clients is evolving.
February marked the launch of ANHC PRO’s first Tech Tuesday — a new series created to introduce beauty professionals to emerging tools that strengthen communication, improve organization, and modernize how we operate.
Our inaugural spotlight featured Janice Williams Oliver, founder of MisTee Wants to Know, LLC, and creator of the MisTee AI Hairstyle Planner. As an ANHC PRO Partner and member of our Tech Founders Club, Janice introduced a platform designed to support a more structured, intentional, and strategic relationship between stylists and the clients they serve.
A Smart Companion to Your Booking System
The MisTee AI Hairstyle Planner works alongside the booking systems you already use. While your scheduling platform handles appointments and payments, the MisTee Planner focuses on communication, documentation, and year-round planning.
It creates one centralized portal where:
Conversations are saved
Style inspiration is organized
Hair history is tracked
Future plans are visible
It also allows stylists to see what clients are doing — and planning to do — not only in your chair, but:
At home
With other stylists
In preparation for upcoming styles
Between appointments
That visibility leads to stronger consultations and fewer surprises.
How Modern Clients Move
Today’s clients rotate styles throughout the year and often work with more than one professional.
They may:
Have a regular stylist for maintenance
Visit a color specialist
Wear braids in the summer
Work with different stylists while traveling
Hair decisions are seasonal and goal-driven. But the details often live in scattered places — texts, screenshots, saved photos, or memory.
The MisTee Planner brings structure to that movement.
What We Saw in the Live Demo
During the demo, Janice walked through features designed to support structured collaboration between clients and professionals.
Digital Portfolio
Stylists can upload and categorize their work, including:
Protective styles
Special occasion looks
Braids and twists
Before-and-after transformations
This keeps your work organized and easy to reference.
Centralized Messaging
All stylist-client communication lives inside one portal.
No more searching across apps for:
Prep instructions
Color conversations
Product notes
Style adjustments
Everything stays in one place.
Hair History & Planning
Clients can log:
Previous styles
Product usage
Growth progress
Trim reminders
Inspiration photos
Planned styles tied to calendar dates
This becomes especially valuable for:
Brides planning months in advance
Clients preparing for protective styles
Professionals coordinating hair purchase or pre-coloring
Clients budgeting for higher-ticket services
When planning happens early, appointments run smoother.
Year-Long Style Calendar
Clients can map out styles across the year, attaching notes and inspiration directly to dates.
Stylists can see what’s completed, what’s planned, and what’s being considered — before the appointment ever begins.
AI Snapshot (Evolving Feature)
As adoption grows, the AI component will analyze client input and pull from reputable sources to provide updated hair insights.
The goal: deeper understanding and more strategic recommendations over time.
A Strategic Opportunity for Stylists
Because the platform is still developing, stylists who engage now can:
Provide direct feedback
Influence feature refinement
Establish presence as adoption expands
When technology is still evolving, professional voices matter.

Janice welcomes feedback and collaboration.
