## Overview

### Key benefits of SalonDesk

Book clients around what each service really needs. Services can require specific equipment and staff groups and can be split into segmented service times, so the calendar reflects your actual floor. Clients book themselves through a 4-step flow on the web, iPhone or Android, and the front desk sees waitlists and live floor status.

Check out in one place. Appointment-to-sale checkout carries the booked services into the sale, then handles split payments and tips, barcode scanning for retail and branded receipts. Packages bundle services, products and memberships, each with its own expiry.

Protect your calendar and your revenue. Appointment reminders and branded client confirmations keep clients informed, and waitlists help fill gaps. Process payments through SalonDesk Payments and deposits, no-show fees with a grace window, card on file and membership autopay switch on at no extra software cost, on any plan including Free.

Get started quickly. A setup wizard proposes a starter menu of services, packages and memberships for your business type, and retail products can be mass-imported instead of entered one by one.

Grow without switching systems. Start on the Free plan as an independent professional, add employee accounts, schedules and permissions as your team grows, and add locations with a central catalog, per-location price overrides, cross-location booking and client history, and consolidated reporting. SalonDesk runs on Microsoft Azure, so there is nothing to install on a back-room server.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Nichesoft
- **Founded**: 1996

## Commercial Context

- **Pricing model**:  (Free version available)
- **Pricing Details**: Start free and grow with us. SalonDesk plans are billed monthly in US dollars. Clients are always free, and there is no per-employee pricing: plans are built around locations and provider bands, so hiring one more person does not immediately raise your bill.

Free: $0/month. Independent professionals: 1 provider, 1 location. It is a real free plan, not a trial.
Salon: $79/month. Teams and established single-location businesses: multiple providers, employee accounts and permissions, schedules, resource scheduling, inventory, advanced point of sale, advanced reporting and waitlists.
Salon Unlimited: $129/month. Larger single-location businesses: unlimited providers, advanced staff management, expanded permissions and team controls.
Multi-location: from $178/month for 2 locations ($89 each). Per-location price falls as you add sites: 2 locations $89, 3-5 $79, 6-10 $69, 11-25 $59, 26+ custom.
Enterprise: custom pricing for large chains and franchises (10+ locations).

SalonDesk Payments is separate from your plan. Process payments through SalonDesk and the revenue tools switch on at no extra software cost, on any plan including Free: card on file and one-click checkout, deposits, no-show and cancellation fees, recurring billing and membership autopay, failed-payment retry, emailed receipts and payment reporting. If you use your own payment processor, your plan keeps every scheduling, staff, inventory, reporting and multi-location feature; deposits, card on file, memberships and no-show fees are not available.

You are billed in US dollars. Your bank sets the exchange rate when the card is charged. Current market rates on https://www.xe.com/ are an estimate only, not the rate you will be charged.
