# Salonist

> Salonist is an all-in-one cloud-based salon and spa management software that helps beauty and wellness businesses automate operations — from online booking, POS, and client management to staff scheduling, inventory, payroll, and marketing. Trusted by salons, spas, barbershops, nail studios, and wellness clinics worldwide.

Salonist is built for beauty and wellness businesses of all sizes — solo operators, single-location salons, and multi-location chains. It replaces standalone booking apps, POS systems, CRMs, and payroll tools with a single, integrated platform. Plans start at $59/month with a free trial available.

Key differentiators: 24/7 online booking with social media integration (Instagram, Facebook), automated SMS/email/WhatsApp reminders to reduce no-shows, a "Minimize Gaps" scheduling feature that boosts staff productivity by up to 60%, multi-location management from a single dashboard, and a dedicated customer-facing mobile app.
