Salon Manager review
A broad salon operations suite for growing, treatment-led businesses.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Salon Manager is cloud-based software for solo professionals, salons, spas, aesthetic clinics, colleges and multi-location groups. Its scope covers appointment scheduling, online booking, client CRM, digital consultation and consent forms, treatment notes, POS, payments, stock control, marketing and reporting. Treatment-led businesses get client histories, preferences, signed forms, treatment assignments and recurring-visit support alongside day-to-day salon operations.
The paid plans are structured around increasing booking, form and payment capabilities. Essentials costs £29 per month and includes appointment bookings, client CRM, POS and till, stock control, marketing tools and pricebook, plus reporting and dashboards. Premium costs £49 per month and adds online bookings, consultation forms, online deposits and card capture, and customisable booking design. Premium+ costs £99 per month and adds online gift vouchers, email reminders and integrated payments. Enterprise includes branded apps, multi-site locations, online bookings and integrated payments. Prices are starting monthly amounts in GBP, exclude VAT, and the final amount depends on package, team size and optional services.
Operational depth is a central strength. Scheduling can account for rooms and resources, while stock control supports minimum and maximum levels, purchase ordering and mobile stock checking. Reporting covers bookings, revenue, retail, clients, teams and stock, and multi-location management includes shared client records and group stock management. Role-based permissions, multi-factor authentication and approved-device controls add administrative safeguards. Salon Manager suits growing salons that need treatment workflows and connected operations; smaller businesses wanting a free option or a narrower scheduling tool may prefer a simpler product.
