Salonomy is salon-management software for UK hair and beauty businesses, including salons, barbers, nail bars, makeup artists, massage practices and aesthetics businesses. Every plan includes a drag-and-drop diary, online booking page, deposits and booking policies. A public walk-in queue lets clients join from a link, follow their position and estimated wait, and receive a prompt when their turn approaches. Salons can use shared, sealed per-renter or mixed client books, with sealed-book separation enforced through PostgreSQL row-level security. The iPhone and Android app covers the diary, queue, takings and client books, and works offline before syncing. Reports cover takings, VAT, retention and itemised invoices, with exports. Email and app push are unlimited and free; SMS and WhatsApp use allowances. Plans are Salon at £12/chair/month, Solo at £15/month and Group at £249/month, with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
