SalonHub360

Overview

SalonHub360 is an operations platform for salons, spas, and barbershops that want booking, checkout, client management, and business tools in one service. It best suits owners who can align their staff count and needs with its tiered plans. Its strongest case is the breadth of salon workflows; the trade-off is that key website, marketing, and data-export capabilities start above the entry tier.

Key features

Scheduling combines day, week, and month calendar views with color-coded services, drag-and-drop rescheduling, availability rules, walk-in queues, and a lobby check-in kiosk. That mix can serve businesses handling both appointments and walk-ins, rather than forcing every visit through a booking slot. Technician scheduling and a nail service menu also fit salons with specialized services.

Checkout supports tips, split tenders, partial payments, gift-card QR redemption, per-line tax, refunds, and searchable sales history. Card payments use standard Stripe processing rates, and SalonHub360 adds no markup or commission. That keeps the platform from adding another stated percentage fee, though Stripe processing charges still apply.

Growth and higher plans include a branded website and custom domain, with the salon's logo, colors, and wording. Growth adds a website builder and client reviews; Premium upgrades the builder and adds marketing tools, AI marketing suggestions, inventory, and loyalty. Google Calendar and Instagram integrations, along with the option to bring your own file storage, are included under Team & Operations.

Growth and higher plans allow CSV export of clients and services, which gives the salon a portable copy of those records. SalonHub360 says it uses HTTPS, encrypted token storage, and access controls, and that Stripe processes payment details; it does not store full card numbers. The privacy policy says the mobile apps do not use analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising services. It also says the service is not configured for HIPAA-protected health information unless agreed otherwise in writing, so healthcare practices handling such data should look elsewhere unless they have that written agreement.

A Help Center provides guides covering setup, billing, payments, booking, websites, clients, marketing, reporting, staff, and settings. Paid subscriptions can be cancelled anytime without a contract or cancellation fee.

Pricing

The Free plan is billed $0/month and supports one staff member, a basic booking page, an appointment calendar, and limited services and clients, with no payment required. It is a constrained way for a solo operator to start, but its limits make it a poor fit for a growing service menu or client base.

Starter costs $19.99/month, billed $19.99/month. It allows one staff member and adds online booking, a full service menu, client management, and basic appointment reminders. It suits a solo salon that needs more than the free booking page, but it does not include the website and custom domain that begin at Growth.

Growth costs $49.99/month, billed $49.99/month, for up to five staff. SMS reminders, a salon website builder, custom domain, and client reviews make it the practical step up for a small team seeking a branded web presence. Premium costs $99.99/month, billed $99.99/month, for up to 15 staff; its advanced website builder, marketing tools, AI marketing suggestions, inventory, loyalty, and priority support target businesses needing broader operations and promotion features.

Enterprise has custom pricing and is intended for 16 or more staff or multiple locations, with multi-location support, custom onboarding, and priority support. The stated monthly prices give a clear base for the first three paid tiers, and paid subscriptions have no contract or cancellation fee; no annual term or discount is stated.

Platforms

SalonHub360 supports Android, iOS, and web, so staff can use it across mobile and browser workflows. The privacy policy specifically refers to the iOS and Android apps.

Who it's for

It is a stronger fit for salon, spa, and barbershop operators who want scheduling and checkout alongside client records, inventory, marketing, or a branded website. Solo operators can begin on Free or Starter, while teams should weigh the staff caps and Growth's five-person limit before choosing. Businesses with 16 or more staff or multiple locations are directed toward Enterprise.

It is less suitable for a business that needs a branded site or CSV exports while staying on the entry plan, or for handling HIPAA-protected information without a written agreement that changes the stated limitation.

Pros and cons

• Broad appointment and walk-in support: queues, a check-in kiosk, and flexible calendar controls cover more than scheduled visits alone.
• Detailed checkout: split tenders, partial payments, refunds, and gift-card QR redemption suit varied salon transactions.
• No added card-processing markup: SalonHub360 adds no commission to standard Stripe rates, though Stripe fees remain.
• Clear capacity steps: plans scale from one staff member to five and 15, with Enterprise for larger or multi-location businesses.
• Entry plans have meaningful gaps: branded websites and CSV export start at Growth, while Free limits services and clients.
• HIPAA restriction: the service is not configured for protected health information unless agreed otherwise in writing.

Alternatives

For a free basic online table-reservation option with paid features activated as needed, consider Anolla; SalonHub360 is the more salon-specific fit for service menus, staff scheduling, and salon operations. Booqinq is another freemium option with a free-forever plan, while SalonHub360's Free tier is capped at one staff member and limited services and clients.

Salonnare offers a free plan for one staff member and 50 bookings per month, or a €29/month Starter plan for three staff and unlimited monthly bookings; it is worth comparing if those booking and staffing limits match your needs. Nail Studio Pro has a free tier capped at 30 registered clients, 40 bookings per month, and eight catalog services, making it an option for a nail studio testing a tightly limited free workflow.

Klippa offers a web and API option with a free plan for one staff member, one location, and 50 SMS messages per month before a 6c charge per message; consider it if that allowance and its listed platform scope fit better. Twizzlo has a web-only free plan with up to 150 bookings per month, unlimited employees, locations, customers, and insights, plus online payments and tips but no SMS; it may suit a team prioritizing those free-plan allowances.

Zolmi offers a three-staff START example with stock limited to 10 products and SMS from A$0, so compare its stated stock and messaging terms against SalonHub360's tiered inventory access. Bookify is a web option whose Pro plan is $20 per team member each month and includes unlimited services and appointments, staff and shift planning, client records, and multiple locations; it is worth considering when those per-member terms fit the business better.

Verdict

SalonHub360 is a sensible choice for salons, spas, and barbershops that want scheduling, checkout, and broader operations under one roof, especially once Growth or Premium features are useful. Its no-markup approach to Stripe card processing and practical walk-in tools strengthen the case. Choose another platform if a one-person entry plan must include a branded website, or if your work requires HIPAA-protected information without a written agreement.
