The rota lives in a group chat.
Shift swaps agreed in messages, holidays remembered or not, and a diary that has no idea any of it happened. Bookings land on people who are not in.
Inside the platform
The end of the
WhatsApp rota thread.
Shifts, holidays, breaks and individual booking rules per stylist, in one place that the diary actually respects. Who is in on Saturday stops being a group-chat negotiation.
The problem it exists to fix.
Every stylist works differently, the software pretends otherwise.
Different services, prices, speeds and days. Tools that treat the team as interchangeable create exceptions you end up managing by hand.
How Salono handles it.
01
Rotas the diary obeys
Shift patterns, breaks, holidays and sickness flow straight into availability. If someone is off, their column closes.
Shift patterns
Holiday & sickness
Live availability
02
Per-stylist everything
Each team member carries their own services, prices, durations and booking rules on the same diary.
Own services
Own pricing
Own rules
03
Permission roles
Owners, managers, stylists and front-of-house each see what they should and nothing they should not.
Role-based access
Sensible defaults
Your call
04
Commission rates
Per-stylist commission recorded against the work, so end-of-month sums come from the system, not the calculator app.

What it looks like in practice.
01
Set the patterns
Shifts, breaks, days off and holiday allowances go in per person. The recurring rota writes itself from there.
02
Life happens, the rota copes
Holiday requests, sickness and swaps are recorded once, and the diary updates availability everywhere instantly.
03
Saturday answers itself
Who is in, who covers what, and what each column can take. The group chat goes back to being a group chat.
Where it earns its keep.

Questions, answered.
Q. Can each stylist have their own prices and services?
A.
Yes. Services, pricing, durations and working patterns are set per stylist, and the booking page shows clients the right options for whoever they choose.
Q. Does booking respect holidays and days off?
A.
Yes. The rota drives availability, so a stylist on holiday simply has no bookable slots, online or at the desk.
Q. Can I control what my team can see?
A.
Yes. Permission roles decide who can see reports, money and client data, and who just sees their own column.
Q. Can staff see their own schedules?
A.
Yes. Each team member sees their own column and bookings, with wider visibility controlled by the roles you set.
Q. How are holiday requests handled?
A.
Holidays are recorded against the rota and flow straight into availability, so a booked holiday can never take bookings.
Works hand in hand with smart bookings, services & pricing, reporting.
