Pricing

Salon software pricing that doesn’t charge by the chair

Hire your tenth stylist. Pay the same as your first.

Every Salonist plan includes unlimited staff. Most salon booking software bills per bookable staff member, per calendar or per seat — so the month you grow the team, the invoice grows with it. Ours doesn’t move.

Where your bookings come from

Online booking commission, channel by channel

You only pay for the client you didn’t already have.

Every booking you generate yourself — your link, your Instagram, your Google profile, your front desk — costs you nothing beyond the plan. The marketplace is the one place a fee applies, and only the first time a brand-new client walks in.

Salon software pricing FAQs

Do you take a commission on my bookings?

Only in one case. If a brand-new client discovers you through the Salonist marketplace, we charge 15% of that first visit, once. Every booking after that is yours. So are your walk-ins, your retail sales, and anything booked through your own link, website, Instagram or Google profile. Comparable marketplaces charge 20% for the same introduction. Card processing fees are separate and go to your payment provider.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

Nothing is charged automatically — there’s no card on file. Pick a plan when you’re ready, or stay on the free Marketplace plan and keep your data.

Does the price go up as I add staff?

No. Every plan includes unlimited staff members, unlimited services and unlimited clients. The plan you pick is the price you pay.

Can I move my data from my current software?

Yes. Bring clients, services, staff and appointment history. Standard import is included from Essential; Advance and Expert include advanced import and a one-on-one setup session.

Can I change plans later?

Upgrade or downgrade whenever your business changes. Upgrades take effect immediately and you’re only billed the difference.

Which plan should I start on?

One location taking bookings and payments: Essential. Wanting to bring quiet days back with WhatsApp and email campaigns, or managing retail stock: Advance — that’s what most salons choose. Multiple branches or a clinic needing consent forms and AI follow-up: Expert.

Which currencies and languages do you support?

Prices are shown in your local billing currency. The software is available in 13 languages including Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai and Indonesian, and teams in 60+ countries run on Salonist today.

How do I cancel?

Email support@salonist.io and we’ll close it. No retention call, no notice period. Export your client list before you go.
