Salonist
Salon Management: Booking, POS, Inventory & Loyalty
Salonist is a cloud-based management platform for salons, spas, barbershops and related beauty and wellness businesses. It brings appointment scheduling, online booking, point of sale, inventory, staff payroll, memberships and client marketing into one system, replacing the need to coordinate several separate tools. It runs on web and mobile, and supports single-location businesses as well as multi-location operations.
Core modules include appointment management with slot blockers, drag-and-drop rescheduling, recurring bookings and resource scheduling; online booking through a client app, website and social channels; a POS with card, contactless and terminal payments; centralized inventory with low-stock alerts and transfers; staff scheduling, commissions, payroll and role permissions; and marketing tools covering email, SMS, coupons, gift cards, loyalty points and review requests. It also offers memberships and subscriptions, an online store, analytics, and location management. Integrations include payment providers such as Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay, accounting tools like QuickBooks, messaging platforms including WhatsApp and Twilio, email services such as Mailchimp, and website and commerce platforms including WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify. The platform supports multiple languages, including right-to-left layouts.
Salonist is aimed at solo stylists, salon owners, spa operators and multi-location businesses across hair, nails, massage, skin, bridal, tattoo and pet grooming services. It offers a free seven-day trial with no card required, and unlimited staff on all plans. Data migration from existing systems is included, and the platform can be cancelled by email without a notice period.
