Our verdict on SalonCore
SalonCore is salon-management software for salons, parlors and spas, primarily serving businesses in India. It brings together POS billing, appointment booking, customer CRM, staff attendance, commissions, schedules, inventory, analytics and marketing reminders. Its feature set suits very small salons that want core operations in one product rather than separate tools for billing, scheduling and customer records.
The published plans scale by operational depth. Starter costs ₹499 per month and includes unlimited POS and billing, manual appointment booking, basic CRM, staff lists, basic inventory, daily reports, and staff commission and payouts. Essential costs ₹999 per month, adding staff login, live attendance, full customer profiles, WhatsApp automations and reminders, a booking website, QR menu, memberships, passes, gift cards, roles, permissions and shift timings. Enterprise costs ₹1,999 per month and adds unlimited multi-branch support, a global dashboard, AI-driven analytics, advanced staff performance tracking, stock forecasting, client retention tools and priority 24/7 support.
SalonCore has a practical platform footprint across web, Windows and Android. Its ecosystem connections are focused on WhatsApp and SMS for reminders and campaigns, while the booking website and QR menu extend customer access beyond the staff interface. POS checkout supports barcodes, and inventory includes low-stock alerts. The main trade-off is scale at the entry level: Starter is limited to five staff and centers on manual appointment booking, so larger salons or businesses needing multi-branch oversight should consider Essential or Enterprise. Very small salons seeking affordable billing, scheduling and staff administration should find the product’s scope well aligned.
