SALON STOCK

Overview

SALON STOCK combines salon supply ordering with inventory and material-cost records. It is most compelling for independent stylists and small salons that buy from supported suppliers; its iPhone-and-iPad limit rules it out for teams that need Android access.

Users can open supplier sites in the app and record orders so products, quantities, and purchase prices feed into inventory and cost records. Automatic cart loading works with D Online (DD-STORE/Daria), Lyrae Cosmetic, and SHAKA, but not Mikoru. That supplier coverage can reduce duplicate stock entry, though it is not a universal ordering shortcut. Users still confirm and pay on supplier sites themselves; SALON STOCK says it does not store supplier login credentials.

Key features

Stock and replenishment

Barcode scanning, stocktaking, reorder alerts, delivery-note OCR, and LINE notifications cover the recurring work of counting and replenishing salon consumables. The free plan includes the core tools, making them accessible to a solo operator, while unlimited inventory avoids a product-count ceiling. The app is aimed at supplies rather than a broad retail operation, so salons choosing software primarily for other business workflows may need a different fit.

Costs and team workflows

Free tracks current-month material costs. Individual Pro adds material-cost analysis, usage and waste tracking, supplier analysis, CSV export, and Square sales integration, giving a solo salon more context for reviewing consumption and costs. Its LINE AI assistant answers common questions for free, while open-ended queries require Pro. Pro also supports stock at two locations, such as a salon and home, with staged replenishment from the secondary location.

Team adds staff from the second user, role management, shared order notes, and multiple locations. Those tools make the higher tier relevant when purchasing and stock handling are shared; a one-person salon has little reason to pay for team controls.

Pricing

SALON STOCK is freemium, with a free plan and monthly paid plans. The published prices are ¥0/月 for Free, ¥1,280/月 for 個人 Pro, and ¥2,980/月・店舗 for チーム.

• Free — free: For one-person salons, with unlimited inventory, barcode scanning, ordering and receiving, stocktaking, LINE notifications, and current-month material cost. It covers day-to-day stock control but leaves cost analysis and the listed advanced cost tools to Pro.
• 個人 Pro — ¥1,280 a month: Keeps Free features and adds material-cost analysis, usage and waste tracking, supplier analysis, Square sales integration, CSV export, and AI queries. It suits a solo operator who wants to examine costs rather than just track current-month totals.
• チーム — ¥2,980 a month per store: Includes Individual Pro features, staff from the second user, role management, shared order notes, and multiple locations. It is the practical choice when stock and orders are handled by a team; the per-store billing matters for salons operating more than one location.

Platforms

The app supports iPhone and iPad on iOS. Android is in preparation, so salons whose staff need Android access should not rely on it as their shared stock system. Data is saved automatically to the cloud and can be restored by signing in to the same account on a replacement phone. Support is available through the maker's LINE account, alongside a usage guide.

Who it's for

Independent salons and freelance stylists who manage consumables, especially those ordering from D Online, Lyrae Cosmetic, or SHAKA, get the clearest fit: core stock tools cost nothing, and paid plans add cost visibility or team coordination as needed. It is less suitable for Android-dependent workplaces, or salons whose main suppliers do not fit the supported cart workflow.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Core inventory has no product cap on Free. A one-person salon can scan barcodes, stocktake, record orders, and get LINE notifications without a monthly fee.
• Pro: Orders connect to stock and costs. Recording quantities and purchase prices alongside orders can cut separate recordkeeping for supported supplier workflows.
• Pro: Paid plans scale by need. A solo user can add cost analysis and Square integration, while a team can add shared notes, roles, and locations.
• Con: iOS only. Android users cannot use the app today, which is a substantial constraint for mixed-device teams.
• Con: Automatic cart loading is supplier-specific. Mikoru is not supported, and all purchases still need user confirmation and payment on supplier sites.

Verdict

Choose SALON STOCK if you run a solo salon or small team on iOS and want purchasing records to feed directly into stock and material-cost tracking. The free tier is a strong starting point for core inventory, while Pro and Team make clear upgrades for cost analysis and shared workflows. Look elsewhere if Android access or automatic cart loading for Mikoru is essential.
