JKSalon

What JKSalon is

JKSalon is Windows salon point-of-sale and appointment software for hair salons, nail salons, and spas. Its scheduling tools handle recurring appointments, drag-and-drop booking, color-coded statuses, and customer lookup through caller ID. It can send appointment reminders and birthday messages by text or email. For promotions, it supports text and email campaigns, picture messages, coupons, and gift certificates, with campaigns that can be customized. JKSoft says its AI can predict products a customer may like and identify customers likely to visit.

Employee features calculate commissions and payroll, track working time and overtime, and allow commission rates to vary by employee or item. The enterprise edition supports up to 999 stores, with cloud-based reporting and sales and gift card synchronization. Listed payment processor options include Chase, Elavon, Evo, FirstData, Global Payments, TSYS, and WorldPay. JKSalon says it backs up data automatically to three locations and supports internet backup and restore. Optional hardware includes a fingerprint reader for time clocks, a customer display for card signatures and tips, and a camera for customer style photos. JKSoft sells through distributors and dealers, who install systems, train teams, and provide in-person support.

Who it suits

JKSalon suits hair salons, nail salons, and spas that need Windows-based point-of-sale and appointment tools with employee management. Its enterprise edition is aimed at businesses managing multiple stores, with support for up to 999 stores.

Getting started

1. Contact a JKSoft distributor or dealer about the one-time purchase or monthly rent option.
2. Arrange for the distributor or dealer to install the system.
3. Have the dealer train the store team.
4. Choose among the listed payment processors and hardware options with the dealer.

Verdict

Consider JKSalon if your salon needs appointment scheduling, customer messaging, employee tracking, and point-of-sale functions in a Windows system. Ask a distributor or dealer about pricing and setup; businesses seeking a listed price or support for platforms other than Windows should look elsewhere.
