What Salon Manager is
Salon Manager is a cloud-based management system that connects salon appointments, online booking, client records, checkout, payments, stock, marketing, consultation forms, and reporting. Clients can book at any time without creating an account, with bookings tied to the salon diary and current availability. Client records can hold appointment history, preferences, formulas, notes, purchases, loyalty details, and communications. Checkout brings services, retail, vouchers, discounts, tips, deposits, loyalty points, and card payments together. Reports cover bookings, revenue, retail, clients, teams, and stock, with PDF, Excel, and CSV export. The system integrates with Clover, Dojo, and Stripe, and offers SalonPay as its own payment service. It is aimed at a range of businesses, from solo professionals to multi-location groups. Availability of features depends on package and implementation.
