FARSET vs SalonSitePro

FARSET provides booking and management software for salons, barbers, and beauty businesses. Clients can book through a branded page at any time, and businesses can add a booking widget to a website. Staff calendars, service assignments, client profiles, and client history help organize day-to-day work. FARSET also lists gift cards, memberships, loyalty rewards, marketing tools, and a POS and shop. For payments, it connects to the business’s own Stripe account for deposits or full payments and says it charges no booking commission. Its widget can be embedded on WordPress, Squarespace, or Shopify sites. The dashboard is responsive for phone use without an app download, and FARSET also mentions an Android app. A 15-day free trial requires no credit card, and cancellation is available at any time. The Free plan is free and allows 20 confirmed bookings per month. Pro costs £15 a month, billed monthly, for unlimited bookings. FARSET Shop is an optional add-on listed at £5 a month.

SalonSitePro is a web platform for beauty professionals that combines a business website, online booking, gallery, reviews, policies, and client enquiries. Users can publish without coding by choosing colours, adding a logo, and listing services. Service entries can include treatment prices, durations, and categories. Clients can book treatments online at any time through the booking calendar. Professionals can create consultation forms and send them automatically to clients, then send personalised aftercare and ask satisfied clients for a Google review. Sites can display Google reviews, a business location map, opening times, contact details, and social links. Colours and branding are customisable, and the pages are designed for phones, tablets, and desktops. The Free plan costs nothing and includes a website, online bookings, client forms, and follow-ups. There is no monthly subscription, but standard Stripe payment processing fees apply. Support is provided by email.
