What is salon management software?
Salon management software is a platform that brings together everything that keeps a beauty salon running: online booking, client records, staff and commissions, POS, packages, vouchers and loyalty. It replaces the paper diary, the commission Excel and the phone calls with a single account.
Short answer
- Salon software is an online platform that manages appointments, clients, staff and payments.
- Clients book themselves online, with the specialist and the resource reserved together.
- Each client has a digital record with history, colour formulas and loyalty.
- Team commissions are calculated per specialist and service type, with period totals.
- It is the Romanian alternative to Fresha, Booksy or Treatwell, with prices in euro.
Which modules it contains
- Dual-resource appointments (stylist plus station) and processing times, with online booking.
- Client records with history, colour formulas, allergies and before/after photos.
- Commissions: percentages per specialist and service type, a separate product commission, period totals.
- POS & loyalty: sales with stock deducted, gift vouchers, packages and loyalty points.
Practical example
Example: a wellness centre with spa, cosmetics and massage uses a single software. Clients book online, the front desk sees every specialist's calendar, each service goes into the client's record, and at month-end the commission totals are ready with no manual calculation.
Common mistakes
- Using separate tools (notebook, Excel, WhatsApp group) that don't talk to each other.
- Choosing booking-only software with no client records and no commissions — and still working manually.
- Picking a platform with per-booking fees, instead of a fixed subscription in euro.
