Santurg review
A strong fit for commission-heavy salons that need detailed payroll reports, not tax filing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Santurg is salon and spa management software for beauty and wellness operators, including hair salons, nail studios, day spas, barbershops, lash studios, med spas, massage businesses, and tattoo studios. Its web-based system combines scheduling, online booking, payments, client management, inventory, analytics, and payroll-related tools. The payroll workflow is particularly focused on salon compensation: it calculates commissions by service type and staff member, supports revenue-based commission tiers, tracks booth rentals, separates retail commissions, attributes tips, and produces pay-period payroll reports.
Pricing is organized across three monthly plans. Starter costs $99 per month and includes Smart Scheduling, Client CRM, Billing & POS, an Online Booking Portal, a Self-Checkout Kiosk, and Basic Analytics. Pro costs $169 per month and adds Staff & Payroll, Inventory Control, SMS Reminders, a Loyalty Program, a Referral Engine, and Retention Analytics. Elite costs $299 per month and adds Multi-Location Management, White-Label Branding, Social Hub, AI Beauty Reports, Dedicated Onboarding, and Direct Team Access. A 21-day free trial is available, while the payroll-focused Staff & Payroll feature appears on Pro rather than Starter.
Santurg’s strongest fit is a business that needs compensation detail and a clear audit trail inside a broader salon operating system. Booth-rental tracking, independent renter income statements, retail commission reporting, tip attribution, and one-click pay-period reports address workflows that general payroll software may not cover as directly. Reports can be exported to a payroll processor, but direct ADP and Gusto API integrations are described as planned rather than available. Businesses that need direct tax filing or payroll-provider integrations today should consider an alternative. Santurg is better suited to commission-heavy salons and booth-rental teams willing to manage payroll processing through exported reports.
