Best Salon Payroll Software in 2026
Salon payroll software covers the varied ways a salon may pay its team, from wages and tips to commissions and contractors. Compare commission tracking, contractor payments, direct deposit, and tip calculation to see which listed capabilities fit your pay arrangements. SalonApp, Gratsio, and Salonist are among the entries to consider. Payroll reports and tax filing add further points to compare, while free-plan availability and paid starting prices help frame cost. Think about the payroll tasks your salon handles and which features are essential to managing them.
