Our verdict on SalonIQ
SalonIQ is cloud salon-management software for hair salons, beauty salons, barbershops, nail bars, clinics and multi-location groups. It combines online booking, client management, marketing, payments, staff scheduling, commission tracking, stock control and business reporting. Its payroll-related tools cover commission, tips, timesheets and pay reports, making it particularly relevant to UK salons that need a clearer view of staff earnings and team performance.
The published Solo plan costs £47 per month on monthly billing and includes the complete booking, management and marketing system with no feature restrictions. SalonIQ also supports a broad operating setup across web, iOS, Android and API access. Booking can run through a website, branded app or SalonIQ booking page, while integrated card payments support deposits and pre-authorisations. The platform connects with services including Salonspy, Stripe, Vish, Reserve with Google, Mutu, Colourstart, Flossie, Klarna and Green Salon Collective.
Its strongest payroll angle is the combination of commission tracking, tip tracking and splitting, timesheets, and payroll-oriented commission and pay reports. Timesheets cover working hours, holidays, sickness and unpaid time, while reporting extends to services, retail, payments, revenue and team takings. An AI receptionist handles enquiries, confirmations, rescheduling and FAQs, and marketing tools support reminders and client re-engagement. SalonIQ should suit salons that want booking, payments, reporting and staff pay information together, especially across multiple locations. Businesses seeking a dedicated payroll processor rather than salon-management software with payroll reporting should consider a more specialised alternative.
