Foohat review
A low-cost booking platform for salons, but not a dedicated booth-rental system.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Foohat is web-based booking and business-management software for salons, spas, barbershops, wellness businesses, independent beauty professionals, and multi-location operators. Its core toolkit covers online appointment booking, a drag-and-drop appointment calendar, staff scheduling, client profiles, automated email and SMS reminders, payment processing, point-of-sale tools, inventory tracking, reporting, and multi-location management. A free plan serves individual professionals and booth renters, while paid tiers add capacity for teams and growing salons.
Pricing is straightforward across four monthly plans. Basic costs $10 per month for individual use at one location, with a branded website, online appointment scheduling, and unlimited customers. Premium costs $25 per month and supports up to three staff members at one location. Pro costs $50 per month and raises that limit to 10 staff members, still at one location. Ultimate costs $99 per month and includes unlimited staff members across up to two locations. The published offering also includes a free plan and a 14-day free trial. These tiers make Foohat accessible for a new salon, though multi-location operators reach the higher-cost plan quickly.
Foohat’s strongest fit is appointment-led salon management rather than dedicated booth-rental administration. Owners can organize availability, accept deposits or full appointment payments, manage client history and notes, track stock, and review business analytics from a web platform. Multi-location booking and reporting support adds useful room for expansion. However, businesses whose central workflows depend on booth-rent collection, rental contracts, occupancy tracking, renter-specific messaging, or recurring booth-rent payments should choose a more specialized alternative. Pick Foohat for affordable scheduling and general salon operations; avoid it when rental administration is the primary requirement.
