What Spa/Salon Manager is
Spa/Salon Manager brings appointments, sales, inventory, staff, and client records together for spa and salon operations. Booking tools include online booking, email and text reminders, waiting lists, cancellation-fill suggestions, and color-coded staff schedules. Client records can include contact details, service history, purchases, pricing, visit patterns, and lifetime value. The point of sale handles check-in and checkout, multiple payment methods, discounts, bar-coded items, family checkout, and booking the next appointment. Inventory tools cover stock, reorder levels, product labels, vendors, and reports. Payroll calculates pay, taxes, and deductions for hourly, salary, flat-rate, and commission methods, and can print checks; advanced accounting features integrate with QuickBooks. The cloud version works in a browser, with employee access listed for iPhone, iPad, Android, and other web-enabled devices. The installed version runs on Windows. Cloud plans begin at $74 a month for one employee, and a 30-day free trial is offered. The company says it has refined salon software since 1985.
