Salono runs walk-ins and online bookings on one diary, covers your peak slots with deposits, and charges a flat fee that makes sense on a barbershop ticket. No commission, ever.
High-volume trade means the diary has to handle the regular who books online and the walk-in at the door without double-booking either. Most tools pick one and fumble the other.
Peak slots are spoken for days in advance. When someone simply does not turn up, that slot was claimed from real demand and the income is gone.
Answering the phone with clippers in hand breaks the cut, the conversation and the queue. The booking should not need you to stop working.
A percentage cut on a £15 to £25 service takes the margin out of the work. Commission models were built for someone else’s price list.
Walk-ins, online bookings and regulars on the same surface, with conflict detection that stops two clients claiming one chair.
Switch deposits on for peak slots and repeat offenders. A card on file means a no-show is covered, not absorbed.
Clients book, reschedule and get reminders on their own. The phone stops being part of the booking system.
£19.99 per user, per month, whatever your volume. On high-volume, low-ticket trade, a flat fee keeps the margin where it belongs.
Online bookings and walk-in space sit on one diary. The queue knows where it stands.
Yesterday’s reminder did its job and the chair is full. The one who did cancel was covered by his deposit.
The day’s takings, per chair, already counted. Cash up in minutes, not after dark.
Every feature, on every plan. The branded booking page, deposits, forms, waitlists and reporting. No contract, no lock-in.
Cancel during your free months and you pay nothing at all. After that, the subscription rolls monthly.
Yes. Walk-ins go straight onto the same diary as online bookings, so the board and the app are never out of step and chairs never get double-booked.
No. Your first month is free, then it is a flat £19.99 per user, per month. Online card payments carry the standard Stripe fee of 1.5% + 20p, which goes to Stripe, not us.
Yes. Deposits are set per service, so you can protect Saturday peak slots while leaving quick weekday trims deposit-free.
Yes. Every barber gets their own column, services, prices and working pattern, and clients can book a specific barber or the next available chair.
Working in a different corner of the industry? Hair, Beauty & nails, Spas, Aesthetics, Massage & wellness
Salono launches in August 2026. We are working with a small number of industry professionals to shape the platform before then. Add your business to the early access list and we will be in touch.
We come from the salon floor. The daily challenges are not research for us, they are background. Salono is the software we wished we had.
Every feature exists to take a job off your evening. Less reception, fewer spreadsheets, less chasing. More chair time, more clients, more revenue.
The roadmap is what owners ask for, in the order they ask for it. Not what we think they need. Your feedback decides what ships next.
