Online booking via your own page
Clients book 24/7 through your own booking widget or the Salonnare marketplace. No account needed - just name, phone and service. One copy-paste snippet drops into WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or your Linktree. Confirmation and email reminder are automatic.
POS with card, iDEAL and automatic VAT
Check out with iDEAL, card, tikkie or cash. Cuts fall under 9% VAT, retail products under 21% - Salonnare splits this automatically on a single receipt. Sequential receipt number, daily revenue report and tip tracking per staff member. Receipts are emailed to the client.
Client records with colour formulas and photos
Every client has a full profile: history, photos of previous work, colour formulas, allergies and notes. Your stylist sees on the tablet exactly which products and technique were used last time. GDPR-compliant with a client portal for self-management.
Fewer no-shows with deposits
Set a deposit per service (fixed amount or percentage) via iDEAL or card. On a no-show the deposit is automatically withheld; on a timely cancellation it is refunded via SEPA. A required deposit works as a clear commitment threshold and can noticeably reduce repeat no-shows.
Built for the Dutch and European market
Salonnare is made for hair salons: iDEAL payments, 9% VAT on services and 21% on retail, and GDPR-compliant client records on EU servers. A flat monthly fee with no commission per booking - from €0 per month on the Free plan. Check our pricing or learn more about us.

Online booking system for hair salons
Clients book 24/7 through your own embeddable widget or via the Salonnare marketplace. No account required — just name, phone and service. Automatic email confirmations (and optional WhatsApp), rebook reminders and no-show fee protection. Integrates with your existing website (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace) with a single copy-paste snippet.
POS with card payments and VAT reports
Check out with card, cash or iDEAL. Automatic VAT handling, daily revenue reports, tip tracking per staff member, and a sequential receipt number per transaction. Receipts are emailed to the client.
Client management with colour formulas and photos
Every client has a full profile with history, photos of previous work, colour formulas, allergies and notes. See at a glance when someone last visited, which products were used, and which services they prefer. GDPR-compliant with a client portal for self-management.
Separate backbar and retail inventory
Salonnare distinguishes between backbar products (what your stylists use during treatments) and retail (what you sell to clients). Automatic alerts when stock is low, purchase orders with one click to your supplier, and reporting per product group so you know your margins.
Marketing automation that brings clients back
Automatic rebook nudges, birthday coupons and win-back campaigns for clients who haven’t visited in 3+ months (automated Google review requests are coming soon). Everything is pre-built — turn it on once and Salonnare runs your retention marketing in the background. See all marketing features to learn what’s possible.
Daily workflow: from opening to closing time
A typical day in a hair salon with Salonnare looks like this: when you arrive, you open the dashboard and see all of today’s appointments at a glance, complete with client notes and colour formulas. Between appointments your stylist checks the client profile on a tablet — allergies, previous treatments, favourite products. At the end of the day you close the register with one click: daily revenue, tip distribution per staff member, VAT reporting. Everything automatic, no spreadsheets or paperwork. On busy Saturdays the waitlist feature helps with overbooking: clients automatically receive a notification when a slot opens up.
Practical tips for salon owners
Set rebook reminders to 6 weeks for cuts and 4 weeks for colour treatments — that’s the moment clients start thinking about their next appointment. Use the no-show fee feature to discourage repeat offenders: a mandatory €10 deposit when booking online works as a clear commitment threshold against repeat no-shows. Actively collect Google reviews (automated review requests are coming soon): salons with an active review profile (volume plus recent activity and a strong score) generally rank higher in local search results. And activate the birthday email with a 10–15% discount — it’s the highest-converting campaign in the beauty industry.
Why Salonnare instead of a paper diary or generic software?
A paper diary or Google Calendar offers no online booking, no automatic reminders and no revenue reports. Generic scheduling tools like Calendly lack salon-specific features: colour formulas, backbar inventory and an integrated POS. Salon-specific competitors like Treatwell charge commission per booking — at 100 bookings per month that quickly adds up to €250–350 extra. Salonnare combines the best of both worlds: salon-specific and a flat monthly fee with no commission, starting at €0 per month on the Free plan. Check our pricing or learn more about us.
Frequently asked questions about hair salon software
Is Salonnare suitable for a freelance hairdresser?
Yes. The Free plan with 1 staff member and 50 bookings per month is perfect for independent stylists. You get online booking, a POS and client management — completely free.
Does Salonnare work with my existing receipt printer?
Salonnare emails receipts to clients by default. Integration with thermal receipt printers for physical printouts is on the roadmap.
Can I set up stylists with different skill levels?
Yes. Per staff member you can assign services and override prices. A junior stylist can offer cuts only, while a senior stylist can also do colour and highlights — the booking widget automatically shows the right availability.
How does the Google reviews integration work?
Automated review requests are coming soon: after every completed appointment, Salonnare will automatically send an email with a direct link to your Google Business review form. Reviews appear in local search results and boost your ranking.
Does Salonnare support multiple locations?
Multi-location is on the roadmap and coming soon, with a central dashboard, per-location staff scheduling, shared client database and cross-location inventory management.
