Spa/Salon Manager review
Detailed salon payroll with scheduling, point of sale, and employee management.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Spa/Salon Manager combines salon and spa management with payroll, appointments, point of sale, inventory, client records, and employee time tracking. It is designed for established salons that need to calculate taxes, deductions, wages, and commissions across hourly, salary, flat-rate, and piece-rate compensation. Payroll also supports W-2, W-3, and 1099 forms, payroll checks, and monthly, quarterly, and yearly totals. The product is available through a browser-based cloud service and installed software for Windows and macOS, with mobile platforms also listed.
Pricing is structured around employee and terminal capacity. Cloud — 1 Employee costs $74 per month for 1 employee, 1 terminal, and owner access. Cloud — 4 Employees costs $114 per month for up to 4 employees, 1 terminal, and owner access. Cloud — 10 Employees costs $144 per month for up to 10 employees, 1 terminal, and owner access. Cloud Deluxe costs $250 per month for up to 78 employees and up to 5 terminals, adding online booking and employee access. A 30-day free trial is available, while no free plan is listed. The tier structure makes the product a closer fit for salons that can match their staffing and workstation needs to a defined plan.
Its strongest differentiator is the connection between operational records and payroll. Point-of-sale commission and time-card data can be imported into payroll, while employee time tracking records clock-in, clock-out, and lunch activity. The wider system also covers check-in, checkout, payments, discounts, gift certificates, appointment scheduling, online booking, inventory, and client information. QuickBooks is the listed accounting integration. Choose Spa/Salon Manager when payroll detail and salon operations need to sit in one system; consider an alternative if the business needs broader accounting integrations, more than five terminals, or a free plan.
