Salon Software Solutions Limited is the active UK company behind Salon Manager.
Appointments, formulas, notes, sales and future bookings can stay connected to the same client journey.
Test a difficult colour appointment from booking to rebooking, not only a simple cut and finish.
Built for the way hair salons work
Hair salons manage more than a diary. The team needs service timing, colour history, consultation details, retail stock, payments and rebooking to stay connected. Salon Manager brings those workflows together so information is easier to find and each client journey is easier to continue.
Core hair salon features
Bring the diary, client history, consultation, checkout, stock, communication and reporting together so each stage can inform the next.
Appointments
Manage cuts, colours, treatments, consultations, technical work and repeat appointments while controlling timings, staff selection and booking rules.
Client information
Store appointment history, formulas, colour notes, preferences and communication details in one connected client record.
Checkout
Process services, retail, deposits, gift vouchers, loyalty and payments while keeping every transaction connected to the booking and reports.
Products
Track colour stock, backwash products, retail ranges, suppliers and product activity to support better ordering decisions.
Retention
Use reminders, birthday messages, rebooking prompts and targeted campaigns to promote colour refreshes, quieter times and retail offers.
Performance
Review bookings, revenue, service trends, retail, stylist performance, rebooking and retention from one reporting platform.
Original buying guidance
A simple booking can make almost any system look capable. Test the awkward appointment that exposes broken handoffs between the diary, client record, till and reports.
Step 1
Include consultation time, technical stages, processing time and the correct stylist or resource.
Step 2
Check whether notes, formula history, preferences and consultation information are easy to find.
Step 3
Move the time or stylist and confirm that durations, stages and client communication remain correct.
Step 4
Add extra services, retail, loyalty or a voucher, then take payment without rebuilding the bill.
Step 5
Secure the next visit and confirm that the sale, client history and reports update without duplicate entry.
What to count: every re-entry, manual check and separate screen. Also count each time the team asks for information the client already provided.
Colour and technical services
Bring consultation information, testing requirements, formula history, processing time and multi-stage appointments into one connected workflow. The software supports the record and process, while each salon remains responsible for its professional procedures and service decisions.
Step 1
Review client history, notes, consultation information and any relevant testing requirements.
Step 2
Allocate the correct service time, stylist and processing stages in the diary.
Step 3
Save colour and technical notes against the client for future consistency.
Step 4
Complete the bill, recommend retail and schedule the next colour refresh.

A clearer view of the business
Connect service revenue, stylist activity, retail, rebooking and retention. The team can investigate the reason behind a result, not only read the final number.
Switching software
The Salon Manager team can review the available source data, explain what can be moved and guide setup where possible. Onboarding, training and UK-based support help the team understand the new workflow before it becomes business as usual.
Evidence, context and responsibility
Salon software can make information easier to capture, find and act on. The salon still decides its booking rules, professional procedures, marketing basis, record retention and financial controls.
A UK hospital trial reported that one specific SMS wording reduced missed appointments from 11.1% to 8.4%. This is healthcare evidence, not a guaranteed salon result. It shows why reminder design should be tested rather than assumed.
ICO guidance says marketing emails and texts to individuals generally need consent or a valid soft opt-in. Clients must also have a clear way to opt out. Software can manage preferences, but the business remains responsible for lawful use.
HMRC guidance says business records should be accurate and make individual transactions identifiable. Connected POS and reporting can support that record trail, but they do not replace accounting records or professional advice.
