Salon

What Salon is

Salon is a platform for customers looking for salon and spa services and for the businesses that provide them. Customers can discover salons and spas, compare services, prices, offers and ratings, and book appointments. They can earn loyalty points from bookings and use them for perks and discounts.

For salon and spa owners, the business platform brings together appointment scheduling, payment processing, marketing promotions, reporting and analytics, and product inventory management. Its booking system supports online reservations around the clock, calendar integration and automated appointment reminders. Businesses can create automated campaigns and targeted messages, use social media integration, and manage stock and product sales with inventory tools and an integrated online store.

Salon lists two monthly plans. The Premium Package costs $60 a month and supports up to three staff members. The Elite Package costs $120 a month and supports unlimited staff, advanced reports, priority support and loyalty. Both packages list reservations management, online booking, automated event notifications, customizable booking links, marketing tools, push notifications, appointment reminders, and training and onboarding. Salon is available on the web, Android and iOS, with mobile apps on Google Play and the App Store. The site says the application is available internationally and lists email and phone support.
