Beauty salon software
Salon software is every employee's calendar, online booking, reminders and the client record showing what you have done and which products you have used. Ready-made platforms cost from free to around 30 dollars per month and can be up and running in a day. A custom system makes sense when bookings need to happen on the salon's website and under its brand, with no per-employee fee and no competitors in an external directory: a website with online booking costs 500-5 000 €, while a complete system costs 3 000-29 300 € (based on 98 of our quotes as of 14 August 2026).

Владислав БарковManaging DirectorWhat it includes
- Bookings by employee
The customer chooses a service, who will provide it and when, and sees only available time slots.
- A schedule for everyone
Working hours, breaks and leave by employee, with an individual login from a phone.
- Reminders
Email confirmation with a calendar invitation, an SMS before the appointment, and a cancellation link.
- Client record
Visits, services, colours and products, plus notes about allergies.
- Deposit
Card deposit for long treatments and appointments on Fridays and Saturdays.
- Manage prices and schedules yourself
The salon changes prices, services and schedules from the admin panel, without calling anyone.
How the process works
- 1The client books an appointment from the salon's website or the link in Instagram and receives a confirmation with a calendar invitation.
- 2The day before the appointment, a reminder arrives with a cancellation link, and the released time slot becomes available again.
- 3The employee sees their day on their phone, while the owner sees turnover by employee and missed appointments.

In brief: a ready-made platform or a custom system
Saitami's salon system runs on your website and under your name: the client books with the right specialist, pays a deposit and receives a reminder, while you see your schedule, revenue and clients. Ready-made platforms (Fresha 11,95 € per month and 6,95 € per employee, Booksy 29,99 dollars, SimplyBook.me free for up to 50 bookings) keep the client in their own app.
A custom system makes sense when the salon is a brand: bookings happen on Your website, the client does not see other salons next to Yours, the deposit and cancellation rules are Yours, and with 6 or more employees, the monthly per-employee fee is already higher than the one-time price.
Ready-made platforms and their prices
Prices are taken from their websites, checked on 17 October 2026. Card payment fees are charged separately.
| Platform | Price as listed on the website | What to keep in mind | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresha | Independent 11,95 € per month; Team 6,95 € per month per employee | online payment 1,29% + 0,10 €; the salon is listed in the Fresha directory | fresha.com/pricing |
| Booksy | 29,99 dollars per month plus tax, 20 dollars for each additional employee | prices are from the US website; the salon is listed in the Booksy directory | biz.booksy.com |
| SimplyBook.me | Free for up to 50 bookings; Basic 11,90 €, Standard 24,90 €, Premium 49,90 € per month with annual billing | less industry-specific, more customisation | simplybook.me/en/pricing |
| Anolla | no monthly fee; a fee applies after a booking is confirmed, the amount is not published | service directory, Bulgarian-language page | anolla.com/bg/pricing |
A salon with 8 employees on Fresha Team pays 55,60 € per month, or 2 002 € for three years, excluding payment fees.
Bohemia Barber: custom booking system for a barbershop
Bohemia Barber opened in Haskovo with eight chairs and a children's chair. The client wanted people to book appointments on the barbershop's website and to change prices and schedules himself, without calling anyone. We built a website with a visual identity and a custom system: the client chooses a barber, service and time, each barber has a separate schedule and login, the confirmation is sent by email with a calendar invitation, and the admin panel works on a phone.
We used the same logic for ZapaziChas, an online booking platform for salons, practices and studios with SMS and email reminders, and for the website of the Vida Luxe aesthetic clinic with online booking.
What to check in any system
Try it with Your services and employees:
- A service with different durations for different employees, followed by a cleaning break.
- Two services in the same hour with two employees, for example hair colouring and a manicure.
- A deposit when booking and what happens to it if the client cancels at the last minute.
- Bookings from Instagram that go into the same schedule.
- Who owns the client database, and whether you can export it.
- The three-year cost with Your current number of employees.
Timeline and price
A salon website with online booking by employee costs 500-5 000 €; a complete system with deposits, client records, product inventory and reports costs 3 000-29 300 €, based on our quotes. Support costs 100-350 € per month and is optional. You pay once, with no per-employee fee.
What we have not done so far
We have not connected a salon system to a till and receipt printer, nor migrated a client database from Fresha or Booksy. If you sell products on-site, the till remains a ready-made programme approved by the NRA, while we check the client migration against the file exported by the platform.
