One client journey. One connected record.

How Do Salon Manager Features Work Together?

Salon Manager uses connected client and appointment information across booking, consultation, checkout, rebooking and reporting. An online booking can update the live diary, trigger reminders and support the consultation process. Services, retail, deposits and payments can then move through checkout, while the completed visit updates client history, reports and stock. That flow reduces repeated entry and gives authorised team members more consistent context.

Before the visitMake booking easy without giving up controlBring staff, room and resource availability together with online booking, reminders, deposits and waiting lists, so clients can book more easily while the business stays firmly in control.
During the visitGive every team member the full client storyPut history, notes, preferences, formulas, consultation forms and service-specific skin tests within reach when the team needs them most.
At checkoutFinish the visit smoothly and accuratelyMove services, retail, vouchers, loyalty points and payments through one connected checkout, keeping the final moments polished and every figure dependable.
After the visitTurn one great visit into the nextUse connected client, marketing and reporting information to follow up thoughtfully, encourage rebooking and understand what keeps clients returning.

What Salon Software Features Are Included in Salon Manager?

Salon Manager includes 10 connected feature areas: appointment and online booking, salon POS and payments, client CRM, digital consultation forms, marketing and reminders, stock control, reporting and analytics, multi-location management, college workflows, and security and permissions.

Smaller tools. Less everyday friction.

More Built-In Features That Remove Everyday Friction

Salon Manager also includes loyalty points, service-specific skin tests, beauty room and resource booking, and mobile stock checking. These practical tools remove extra processes from the working day and make the main booking, client and stock workflows easier to complete.

Loyalty points
Reward loyalty without adding another process
Let clients earn and redeem loyalty points naturally through checkout. Every reward stays linked to the client record, helping the team recognise visits, purchases and rebooking opportunities without managing a separate scheme.
Skin tests by service
Keep every service-specific check organised
Record multiple skin tests where services, treatments or product ranges require separate checks. Each result remains connected to the relevant client and service history for authorised users to review.
Beauty rooms and resources
Book the room, resource and team member together
Assign beauty rooms and shared resources to services so the diary understands what is physically available, helping prevent clashes when a treatment depends on a specific room, bed, chair or piece of equipment.
Mobile stock checking
Take stock control to the shelf
Check shelves, cupboards and retail displays from a mobile device. Scan product barcodes with the phone camera and update quantities without carrying a separate scanner or returning to reception.

Salon Software Features FAQs

Get direct answers about core features, online booking, salon POS and payments, CRM, consultation forms, marketing, stock, reporting, colleges, multi-location management, package availability and tailored demonstrations.

What are the core features of salon management software?
Salon Manager connects appointment management, online booking, staff and room availability, client records, consultation forms, service-specific skin tests, POS, payments, loyalty, reminders, marketing, mobile stock control and reporting in one platform. Because the features share information, the team repeats less admin and gains a clearer client journey from booking through checkout and rebooking.
Does Salon Manager include online booking and appointment reminders?
Yes. Salon Manager supports online booking alongside staff and room availability, confirmations and reminders. Clients gain more freedom to book, while you remain in control of the services, team members, rooms and times made available. Deposits and other digital options depend on the selected package and setup.
Are POS and payments connected to the appointment diary?
Yes. Services, retail, vouchers, deposits, discounts, tips, loyalty points and payments can move through one connected salon till. Linking checkout to the appointment and client record creates a smoother final step for the client and cleaner information for cash-up, client history and reporting.
Does Salon Manager include client CRM and consultation forms?
Yes. Client records can bring together contact details, appointment history, preferences, notes, formulas, purchases, loyalty activity and communication history. Digital consultation forms and skin-test records remain connected to the client, giving authorised team members the context to deliver more personal and consistent care.
What marketing and rebooking features are available?
Connected appointment and client information can support confirmations, reminders, birthday messages, rebooking prompts and targeted email or SMS activity. This helps communication feel more timely and relevant without rebuilding lists in a separate platform. Available tools and message costs should be confirmed against the selected package.
Can Salon Manager manage stock and reporting?
Yes. Stock tools can track retail and professional products, suppliers, deliveries, stock takes and inventory movement. Mobile checks can use the phone camera to scan barcodes and update quantities, helping reduce stock surprises. Reporting then brings booking, revenue, retail, client, team and stock information into one clearer view for better decisions.
Is the platform suitable for colleges and multi-location groups?
Yes. Salon Manager supports independent businesses, colleges, training academies and multi-location organisations. The setup can be shaped around departments, users, permissions, locations, shared information and reporting requirements, giving each environment the structure and oversight it needs.
Are all features and optional services included in every package?
No. Availability depends on the selected package, team size and optional extras. The pricing calculator shows what is included, what can be added and what is unavailable for the chosen package, while keeping monthly charges separate from setup and hardware costs.
Can the demonstration focus on the features my team actually needs?
Yes. Share your business type, current workflow and the areas creating the most administration, pressure or duplication. The demonstration can then focus on the diary, client, checkout, stock, reporting, college or multi-location processes that matter most, helping you judge the value through your real working day rather than a generic feature tour.
