SalonTarget review
A full salon management system for businesses that need gift cards built into daily operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SalonTarget is cloud-based salon management software for hair salons, nail salons, barbershops, spas, and medical spas. Its gift-card tools cover both customizable eGift cards and in-store cards, while the broader system handles online and mobile booking, appointment scheduling, client profiles, service history, point-of-sale transactions, payment processing, inventory, marketing, and reporting. It is aimed at salons that want gift cards connected to everyday operations rather than managed as a separate tool.
The Professional plan costs $99 per month when billed monthly, with pricing varying by number of employees. It includes standard booking and management features, text and email notifications, online booking and eGiftCards, card-on-file and card pre-authorization tools, and automatic filling of the cancellation list. A 7-day free trial is available. Enterprise Add-Ons add two-way texting, employee alerts and notifications, a remote receptionist, text marketing, multi-location support, and consulting, with custom pricing. This structure suits salons that want a defined starting tier and optional operational services as they grow.
SalonTarget’s main strength is breadth: gift cards sit alongside integrated POS, payment processing, inventory and purchase-order management, memberships, packages, series, loyalty programs, and gift-card liability reporting. Integrations include Bluefin, Instagram, Facebook, Google Business, Location Maps, Yelp, and Twitter. That wide operating scope may appeal to established salons consolidating booking, payments, client management, and retention tools. Smaller businesses seeking only gift-card functionality may find the $99 monthly starting point broader and more expensive than needed, while organizations needing mobile-native access should note that web is the listed platform.
