How Tahnesha Ervin cut admin time in half and runs her salon suites from her phone

Old-school money handling in a modern salon business

Tahnesha Ervin wasn’t just renting space; she was creating a home base for beauty entrepreneurs to grow their own businesses. But behind the scenes, her own methods didn’t match the professional experience she wanted to deliver.

Rent came in through a mix of Cash App, Zelle, and other methods. Notes lived on paper, sticky notes, and scattered spreadsheets. Tracking who had paid, which payments cleared, and what bounced turned into a time-consuming puzzle.

“The problems were mainly keeping track of tenants’ payments, trying to figure out what payment may have been returned or what had actually cleared.”

What she wanted was simple: a more professional way to manage her business, clear records both sides could see, and a setup that didn’t eat her evenings.

From cash apps and paper notes to a single source of truth

Looking for something better, Tahnesha turned to the internet and found DoorLoop while researching property management software options for her salon suites.

“I actually switched to DoorLoop because it made my job so much easier. I didn’t have to collect money [manually]. I didn’t have to do a lot of paperwork. It just made everything so much simpler just to click and post payments.”

What really made the difference was having everything in one place she could access from her phone.

“My favorite feature with DoorLoop is the option to see everything from my phone—who’s paid late, who’s on time, or if anyone has service requests.”

For a business built around supporting other entrepreneurs, DoorLoop gave her the modern, polished structure she’d been trying to create with “old school” tools.

Time cut in half, less stress, and a business she can run from anywhere

Once everything moved into DoorLoop, the difference showed up quickly in her day-to-day life, cutting the time she spent working in half each week.

DoorLoop also elevated the tenant experience.

“It’s very impressive when we bring in new tenants. They’re very impressed by the fact that they can do everything from their phone or from an app.”

“What does life look like now? Very happy, less stressful. I’m able to conduct business while I’m on vacation or while I’m at home. It doesn’t have to be so stressful for me anymore.”
