Salonnare vs Mijn Salon - which salon software fits you?

Pricing and cost model

Salonnare uses transparent, fixed pricing: the free plan costs EUR 0 per month (1 staff member, 50 bookings per month), Starter EUR 29 per month (EUR 348 per year) and Pro EUR 59 per month (EUR 708 per year). No credit card needed to start for free, no commission on your revenue and no lock-in. Mijn Salon offers, according to their website, a free starter version plus paid packages.^[1] The exact monthly rates of the paid packages are not listed as fixed figures, so request them as an indication via their [pricing page] before you compare. The key difference is the model: with Salonnare you know your fixed price upfront, pay nothing extra on your transactions and are never tied in. See the full pricing and what each plan includes.

Built for the Dutch and Belgian market

Salonnare is NL/BE-first. The point of sale calculates the correct Dutch VAT (21% on services, 9% on retail) and produces an Auditfile export for the Dutch tax authority. Online payments work via iDEAL (native through both Stripe Connect and Mollie), Bancontact, SumUp and card - through your own Stripe or Mollie account, with no margin taken by Salonnare. Mijn Salon is also fully Dutch and cloud-based. Both parties understand the Dutch market; the difference is in the details that matter to you: your own payment account, a direct iDEAL integration without a margin, and data ownership on your own tenant database with Salonnare.

Features and user experience

Salonnare combines online booking (an embeddable widget on your own site plus a booking page with your own logo) with a calendar, client records, inventory, point of sale, email marketing and campaigns, recurring memberships (SEPA/iDEAL), gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees and deposits, and forms/intake - all in every plan, with no add-on modules to buy. The client picks one or more treatments, sees time slots per staff member and books in a few clicks. Mijn Salon offers 100% cloud with calendar, point of sale, client cards, inventory, staff and dedicated mobile apps. The difference is in the depth and ease: built-in no-show fees, deposits, a GDPR Article 9 health-data vault and a modern UX that gets even a trainee productive within an hour. View all features.

Migrating and switching to Salonnare

Switching does not have to be a hurdle. Salonnare supports CSV import for your client base and history, so you bring your data along without starting over. You start for free, set up your calendar and treatments, and connect your own Stripe or Mollie account for payments. Dutch-language support during office hours - from a Dutch developer - helps you through the first steps. Read more about us.

Conclusion: why Salonnare wins

Mijn Salon has a long track record: with 25+ years of experience and a claimed 2000+ salons^[1] it is a proven, established name with proven hardware integration. If you need a deep, decades-long on-site hardware history, Mijn Salon is worth considering. But for most NL/BE salons, Salonnare wins on the points that matter every day. You start for free (EUR 0) with fixed, predictable rates and no commission or lock-in. You get native iDEAL and Bancontact through your own payment account, Dutch VAT with Auditfile export, and a complete all-in-one - online booking, POS, inventory, marketing automation, memberships, gift cards, loyalty, no-show fees and forms - at no extra cost. You keep 100% of your own branding and data ownership on your own tenant database, with no marketplace promoting your competitors. And the modern, fast UX means your team is productive within an hour. Anyone who wants to start transparently, NL/BE-focused and without surprises today is best served by Salonnare.
