Salos review
A broad salon operations suite for Indian teams that need attendance-based payroll.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Salos is salon-management software for Indian salons and multi-outlet operators. It brings appointments, walk-in booking, GST billing, POS, client CRM, inventory, WhatsApp messaging, commissions, payroll, hiring and expense tracking into one system. Its payroll capabilities cover attendance, shifts, overtime and commissions, while biometric attendance uses fingerprint scanners. The product is offered per outlet, making it relevant for businesses that want outlet-level pricing and staff administration alongside front-desk operations.
The plan structure separates core salon operations from advanced staff and payroll capabilities. Core costs INR 8,988 per outlet per year and includes appointments, GST billing, 9+ payment modes, WhatsApp bills, CRM and support for up to 5 staff. Pro costs INR 17,988 per outlet per year, adds commission targets, memberships, enquiry management, inventory, feedback, social features and alerts, and supports up to 15 staff. SAL OS Ultra costs INR 35,988 per outlet per year and adds payroll, shifts, overtime banking, hiring, a fingerprint scanner, the staff PWA app, priority support and the AI WhatsApp concierge. Plans are billed annually, and pricing excludes 18% GST.
Salos is a strong fit when payroll needs to reflect attendance, shift patterns, overtime and commission structures rather than only fixed salaries. Its ecosystem includes WhatsApp, Google, Instagram, UPI, GPay, PhonePe and Paytm, while the staff PWA covers schedules, targets, commissions and check-ins. The trade-off is breadth: smaller salons seeking only payroll may find the wider management suite unnecessary, while teams needing payroll on Core or Pro must add the Payroll Pack. Salos suits Indian salons that want connected operations and staff workflows; it is less suitable for buyers looking for a free plan or a narrowly focused payroll product.
