In their own words
SalonSynq
SalonSynq gives salon and beauty professionals tools for bookings, payments and day-to-day business workflows. It creates a branded booking page showing services, prices and opening hours, and supports service setup, team calendars, reminders, deposits, reviews, notifications and analytics. The free Start plan is for one solo professional and includes unlimited bookings, manual payment logging, a vanity booking link and email reminders, with no SalonSynq online payment fee. Flex is also free, adding no-show protection, online deposits and Tap-to-Pay on phone; it charges a 6% transaction fee. Pro costs £22 a month, with a 2.2% transaction fee plus 20p per online payment. It includes up to four team members at no extra cost, a branded client app, automated SMS reminders, and service-based rebooking journeys and offers. SalonSynq says rebooking reminders stop once a client books again. Payments run through Stripe or another supported provider, and SalonSynq says it does not store full card details. The service is available on Android, iOS and web.
