Our verdict on Shortcuts
Shortcuts is salon management software for hair salons, beauty businesses, spas, barbers and multi-location operators. It brings appointment scheduling, point of sale, retail inventory, customer profiles, employee schedules, salaries, commissions, online booking, marketing, gift cards and reporting into one system. Its broad operational coverage suits businesses that need basic back-office tools alongside client and staff management.
Shortcuts uses a contact-sales pricing model rather than published plan prices. The vendor presents packages aimed at essential operations, customer engagement, higher-tier client experiences and franchise or multi-salon businesses. Paid package differences are therefore tied to the selected package and region, with optional capabilities including loyalty tools, automated messaging, remote access and mobile client applications. Businesses comparing the product should request a quote or demo to match capabilities to their operating model.
The product’s strongest fit is breadth: it covers bookings, sales recording, stock, employee compensation, customer history, marketing, gift cards and reporting, while supporting online booking, tip management, commission tracking and multi-location use. Remote access from computers, tablets or iPads adds flexibility for owners and managers. Xero is the listed integration, so businesses that depend on a wider connected software ecosystem may prefer a product with more integration options. Shortcuts is a practical choice for salons seeking a single operational system, but less suitable for teams prioritizing extensive integrations or a clearly published package structure.
