Software for salons and spas

Salons and spas tie every appointment to a specific stylist, pay staff partly on commission, sell retail products alongside services in one bill and lose real money to no-shows. Packages and prepaid balances need tracking across visits.

What breaks generic software here

The specifics a vendor demo will gloss over unless you raise them.

  • Appointments are tied to a specific stylist, not just a time slot
  • Staff are paid partly on commission, which payroll has to handle
  • Retail product sales run alongside service billing in the same transaction
  • No-shows and last-minute cancellations cost real money
  • Packages and prepaid balances need tracking across visits
