Salonify

Salonify suits beauty and wellness businesses that want bookings, payments and day-to-day salon management in one platform. Its breadth is appealing, but the business app is still coming soon, and the monthly Pro and Enterprise prices make careful plan selection essential.

Overview

Salonify connects customer appointment booking with operational tools for salons and other beauty and wellness providers. Clients book through a public page with real-time availability, while businesses can manage schedules, client records, payments and marketing. It serves businesses including hair salons, barbershops, nail studios, spas, massage providers and tattoo businesses.

The Luxembourg-based company serves salons across Europe, supports 12 languages and offers multiple currencies. That regional reach makes it a plausible option for businesses serving clients in more than one language or currency.

Key features

Bookings and salon operations

The public booking page shows available times and sends automatic confirmations and reminders, reducing routine appointment coordination. Staff roles and schedules, service pricing, client records, reviews, analytics and a calendar bring core operations together. Capacity is plan-dependent: Starter allows two staff, Pro ten and Enterprise unlimited staff across multiple locations.

Payments and business management

The POS accepts card, cash and Apple Pay, and is described as syncing with the calendar, inventory and analytics. Commission rules, retail split rules, tip tracking, compensation reports and payroll export address the practical needs of businesses paying staff based on services or retail sales. Enterprise adds accounting, while invoicing is part of Salonify's broader product offering.

Marketing and integrations

Loyalty stamp cards, gift cards, coupons, sponsored placement and an online shop give salons several ways to encourage repeat business and promote services. Google Calendar sync is included with Pro; Apple Calendar connection is via .ics. Webhook events and public REST API access offer routes for custom connections, though some integrations are coming soon.

Security and support

Salonify describes its platform as GDPR compliant and includes OAuth and two-factor authentication. Support consists of email, with replies typically within 24 hours, and live chat Monday through Friday, 9:00–18:00 CET. That weekday schedule may not suit businesses needing live help outside those hours.

Pricing

Salonify uses a freemium model. Starter is free (billed forever), with up to 2 staff members, a public business profile, online booking page, email reminders and basic analytics. It is a useful starting point for a solo operator or very small team, but its two-person cap and lack of the advanced features named on paid plans make it a limited fit as a business grows.

Pro costs €5,900 a month (billed monthly) and allows up to 10 staff. It adds advanced analytics, a loyalty program, gift cards, SMS reminders and Google Calendar sync. A 14-day free trial lets businesses evaluate Pro before committing; this tier fits salons that need those tools and can work within the ten-staff limit.

Enterprise costs €9,900 a month (billed monthly). It provides unlimited staff, multiple locations, accounting, a white-label option, priority support and onboarding. Its broader capacity suits multi-location businesses, but the steep monthly price calls for a clear need for those enterprise features. Salonify also lists a 14-day free trial for Pro; the Starter plan is free forever.

Platforms

Salonify lists Android, iOS, web and API support. Native iOS and Android apps are for customers; the business app section is marked “Coming Soon.” That distinction matters: salons looking for a ready-to-use dedicated mobile app for staff should not assume one is available. The web platform and API remain the stated options for business use.

Who it's for

Salonify is best suited to European beauty and wellness businesses that want booking, POS, staff and client management, and marketing in one system. Starter makes it accessible to small teams, while Pro is aimed at businesses needing more staff capacity and loyalty tools. Multi-location operators may value Enterprise, but smaller businesses that need only appointment scheduling may find its broader paid tiers more than they need.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A broad operational toolkit combines booking, POS, staff scheduling, client records and marketing features, reducing the need to piece together separate salon systems.
• Pros: A free-forever Starter tier includes online booking and supports up to two staff, giving small businesses a way to begin without a subscription.
• Pros: Enterprise supports unlimited staff and multiple locations, a meaningful fit for businesses operating across sites.
• Cons: Pro and Enterprise cost 5900.00 EUR and €9,900 a month respectively, making them substantial commitments for businesses that do not need their added capacity and features.
• Cons: The dedicated business app is coming soon, so businesses seeking native staff-facing mobile apps may need another option.
• Cons: Starter is capped at two staff, while Pro stops at ten, leaving growing teams to move to the high-priced Enterprise tier for unlimited staff and multiple locations.

Verdict

Choose Salonify if your European salon or wellness business wants booking, payments, staff operations and marketing in one platform, and its Starter tier covers your team or you need Pro's added tools. Its strongest case is the range of business functions, with Enterprise extending capacity to multiple locations. Look elsewhere if you need a dedicated business mobile app now or if the paid monthly prices outweigh the value of those extra capabilities.
