SalonNow review
A broad salon platform linking inventory, accounting, bookings and branch operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SalonNow is salon management software for hair, beauty, spa, barber, nail, bridal and mobile businesses. It brings appointments, online booking, client records, point of sale, inventory, staff administration, commissions, accounting and reporting into one operational system. For medium salons and multi-branch groups, the platform combines local stock and branch-level administration with shared standards and consolidated reporting. It is presented across web, Windows, Android and iOS, with implementation and support provided by DigitalMonster Uganda.
Inventory coverage is a central strength. SalonNow supports products, batches, suppliers, purchase orders, transfers and stock counts, while service-linked product consumption connects usage to operational activity across branches. Retail inventory, vendor management, usage tracking and multi-location workflows are included in the listed scope. The broader system also connects stock with point-of-sale transactions, retail items, taxes, payments, returns, expenses, bank reconciliation and period close. That combination suits operators who want inventory and accounting within the same salon platform rather than as separate tools.
The platform extends beyond stock control into appointments, calendars, availability, walk-ins, waiting lists, deposits, reminders, client histories, packages, points, balances, staff schedules, attendance, leave, commissions and role-based permissions. Pricing is handled through contact sales and a tailored demo, so buyers should be prepared to discuss requirements directly. SalonNow is a strong fit for growing teams and multi-branch salons that need connected inventory, accounting and branch reporting. Smaller single-location businesses seeking only basic stock tracking may find its wider operational scope unnecessary.
