In their own words
Salonify
Salonify is a European platform where customers discover and book beauty and wellness appointments while salons manage bookings, POS, CRM, invoicing, marketing, and staff schedules. Clients book through a public page with real-time availability, confirmations, and reminders. Salon tools include staff roles and schedules, service pricing, client records, reviews, analytics, and a calendar. Its POS accepts card, cash, and Apple Pay and is described as syncing with the calendar, inventory, and analytics. Marketing options include loyalty stamp cards, gift cards, coupons, sponsored placement, and an online shop. The free Starter plan is described as free forever and supports up to two staff members; Pro supports up to ten and has a 14-day free trial. Listed prices are €5,900 a month for Pro and €9,900 a month for Enterprise. Native iOS and Android apps are for customers; the business app section is marked “Coming Soon.” Salonify says it serves salons across Europe, supports 12 languages, and offers multi-currency support.
