What Saloning is
Saloning is salon management software for salons, barbershops, beauty studios, nail bars, and medi-spas across India. It brings bookings, billing, attendance and payroll, inventory, customer management, and reports together. Each branch can offer a public booking page where customers choose a service, stylist, and time slot, then confirm in a browser. Billing handles cash, UPI, card, and split payments, with GST-ready invoices. Attendance uses selfie verification and a branch geofence; payroll can draw on sessions, attendance, advances, and fines. Inventory tools cover central and branch stock, lot tracking, transfers, suppliers, and low-stock thresholds. Reports include revenue, payments, P&L, service mix, and branch comparisons, plus weekly AI summaries in plain language. Customer features include visit histories, memberships, prepaid wallets, loyalty, referrals, and signals for potentially lapsing customers. It runs in modern browsers on web, tablet, and mobile without installation; mobile apps are also named in the Pro plan.
