SalonBooking review
A low-cost web scheduler with strong booking essentials for small salon teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SalonBooking is web-based salon scheduling and management software for UK hair, beauty, nail, aesthetics, spa and barber businesses. It is aimed at solo stylists and small salon teams that need an online booking page, public booking website and appointment diary without booking commission. The feature set covers recurring appointments, staff working hours, breaks and holidays, client profiles, reports, consultation and intake forms, deposits, waitlists, automated email reminders, optional SMS reminders, and client self-service cancellation or rescheduling.
Pricing is simple and paid monthly. The Solo plan costs £9 per month, while Team costs £19 per month; the plans are differentiated by staff capacity. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no permanent free plan. Deposits can be taken through Stripe or recorded through manual bank transfer. Stripe processing fees are separate, and SMS reminders require separately purchased credits, so businesses using both may need to budget beyond the subscription price. For a small operation focused on essential scheduling, the published plan structure keeps the entry cost clear.
The product’s focus is practical scheduling rather than a broad salon operations ecosystem. It runs on the web and lists Stripe as its integration, which suits businesses comfortable managing bookings in a browser but may not suit teams looking for wider platform connections. Its booking, availability, reminder, form and waitlist tools cover the core client journey, while reports and profiles support basic administration. Choose SalonBooking for affordable online scheduling and staff coordination; consider an alternative if broader integrations or more extensive operational features are central to the workflow.
