Workflow

From the colour consultation to the next root touch-up

A salon day is made up of appointments of very different lengths: a dry cut squeezed in between, highlights with processing time, a consultation before the first colour. Salon Wizard keeps the services with their real duration, the team's hours, the client records and your public salon page together in one place.

01 Online booking A root colour, highlights and a dry cut do not take the same amount of time. Every service gets its own duration, so only times that genuinely fit between processing and blow-drying are offered online. Bookings come in during the evening, when nobody in the salon is answering the phone.
02 Client records Which colour was on last, what was agreed about the roots, which length came out too short last time: notes and appointment history are ready at the chair, even when someone else on the team takes over.
03 Team and locations Many clients come for one particular person. The system holds who does which service and which days they are in, so part-time hours, days off and a full Saturday are reflected in what can be booked.
Industry context

Salon Wizard in everyday hair salon work

Between applying colour and processing time there is no free hand for the appointment book. Salon Wizard takes requests while you are working at the chair and files them where client records, team and your salon page already live.

Bookable services

Cuts, colour, highlights and care appear online with the duration they actually occupy in the salon. Anyone having colour done for the first time books the consultation beforehand as its own appointment.

Client history

Formula, preferences and past visits stay in the client record instead of on index cards in the box behind reception.

Own website

Your work in the gallery, reviews from happy clients, opening hours and an about-me page – or the whole team in the Team plan – under your own domain instead of as a tile next to the salon on the next street.

Growth

One more chair, another pair of hands on the team, a further location: roles, working hours and insights grow with you, without reinventing the calendar.

Workspace

Calendar, colour history and root touch-ups live in your workspace

The demo on this page shows the public salon website. The workspace you run your day in belongs to your account and is not public — you see it right after you start, with your services, processing times and the notes on the last colour.

Online booking for cuts, colour and highlights

A dry cut needs thirty minutes, a balayage half a morning. You store the honest duration and the price per service, and the booking page only offers times the treatment genuinely fits into — instead of pressing every appointment into the same half-hour grid.

  • A duration per service — from a fringe trim to a balayage
  • Confirm directly, or ask first when the length is still open
From Team

Chairs, working hours and absences

Who is at the chair on Saturday, who is at college, who is on holiday? Working patterns, holiday, sick leave and special hours sit with each person in the system. If someone drops out at short notice, you see straight away which appointments hang on that chair and have to be moved.

  • Chair plan and working hours
  • Vacation, sick leave & special hours

Client records with the colour formula and the appointment history

The formula from last time, the processing time, the result, the products used: what is in the record is in front of you again at the next appointment — including when the client sits at a different chair. Plus the complete appointment history, so the gap since the last root touch-up is not a guess.

  • Root appointments as a series From Solo Plus

One salon or several locations — one system

Salon Wizard fits a single salon and grows with you when a second location is added. Price list, team and opening hours are controlled per salon, while bookings, reviews and your clients' colour history come together in one account.

  • Start with one location and expand later
  • Per-location opening hours, team and prices
  • Role-based access for team and managers per location
  • A plan that grows with you — add locations at any time
From Solo Plus

Your own salon page instead of a profile among twenty others

Before-and-after pictures, price list, opening hours and an about-me page – or the whole team in the Team plan – sit at an address that belongs to you, and the reviews pay into your name instead of into a portal. A free web address is included, your own domain on request.

  • Reviews & Google Reviews
  • Free web address & custom domain

More about the hair salon website with online booking is on a page of its own. If you want to have a hairdresser website built, a separate article compares the routes.

Careers & recruiting From Team

Find stylists and apprentices through your own salon page

Hairdressing is short of new talent, and good people rarely look on job boards. Advertise open roles and the apprenticeship directly on your salon page, show a careers teaser next to the gallery and take applications with their documents in the system.

  • Careers page in your salon design
  • Applications with PDF, DOC, or DOCX
  • Status and retention periods in the backend
  • For one or multiple locations
Optional extra channel

Text reminders — an empty chair costs half a morning

Email reminders are included in every plan. For colour appointments in particular, which tie up three hours of chair time and mixed product, the extra channel earns its keep: a text the day before reaches clients where they are already looking. You enable it per reminder stage and top up a balance for it.

  • Unlimited email reminders included in every plan
  • 10 cents per message — one price for every supported country
  • Top up from €10 (100 messages), credit never expires
  • Off by default — no credit is spent without your say-so

What your hair salon needs every day

Online booking, client files, staff management, your website, reviews and your careers page work together — from the root touch-up to the shift plan for Saturday.

Cuts, colour and care

From a dry cut to a balayage: every service with its own duration, its own price and the processing time that goes with it.

From Team

Chair plan and working hours

Who is at which chair, which working patterns apply and who is at college sits with each person in the system.

Records with colour formula

Formula, processing time and the products used are ready at every visit. The appointment history shows when the roots were last done.

From Solo Plus

Root appointments as a series

Roots and trims run as a series — usually every four to six weeks, with the same stylist and at the usual time.

Client Portal & Guest Access

Clients manage appointments themselves. Guest access with booking number and email works without an account.

Free web address & custom domain

A free address is included (e.g. yoursalon.plan-it-now.com) – from Solo Plus we set it up from your name, and your own domain is available on request.

From Team

Careers & Applications

Manage your own careers page, jobs, unsolicited applications, and application documents directly in the salon dashboard.

Automatic Reminders

Reminders before the appointment reduce no-shows — especially for colour appointments that tie up the chair for half a morning.

Text reminders

Remind by text on top of the email — optional, billed per message and switchable off at any time.

From Solo Plus

Salon Inbox

Client inquiries land in one salon inbox. Reply directly with your salon email from inside the system.

GDPR-compliant

GDPR-compliant hosting in Germany and secure handling of sensitive client data.

Also for multiple salons

Several salons in the Team plan

Start with one salon and add more locations when you need them — each with its own opening hours, staff, services and prices per salon. In the Team plan with one contract and one invoice — further salons can be added whenever you need them.

  • Add more locations — in the Team plan
  • Per-salon opening hours, price list and services
  • Assign team and salon manager per location
  • One invoice instead of a license per location

Frequently asked questions

Appointments & clients

Can clients book colour appointments directly, or only send a request?

Both. In booking mode you decide whether online appointments are confirmed immediately or first land in the calendar as a request. For colour appointments whose length is only clear once you have looked at the hair, the request is often the calmer option.

Can I set the trim up as a recurring appointment?

Yes, from Solo Plus. You set repeat appointments up as a series — the trim every four to six weeks, the roots every six to eight, each with the same stylist at the preferred time.

Do clients need an account?

No. On every plan, appointments can be viewed or managed as a guest with booking number and email. From Solo Plus, clients can also have an account of their own.

Can I record colour formulas, preferences and past visits?

Yes. Formula, consultation notes and appointment history sit with the client in the client record and are there at the chair on the next visit, including for whoever stands in. Hosting is in Germany, GDPR-compliant.

Team & locations

Can I manage vacation, sick leave, and special hours?

Yes, in the Team plan. Vacation, sick leave, and special hours can be maintained per staff member. Conflicts with existing appointments are detected and can then be handled directly.

Can I manage multiple salons or locations?

Yes. With the Team plan you manage all locations in a single account — each with its own opening hours, staff, services, and prices. One location is included, and every additional one can be added at a fair flat price — all on one invoice.

Website & applications

Do I get my own hair salon website with a domain and reviews?

Yes, from Solo Plus. You get your own salon website with services, gallery, opening hours and reviews, and an about-me page, or the whole team in the Team plan. A free address we set up from your name (e.g. yourhairsalon.plan-it-now.com) is included, and your own domain is available on request. On Solo you get your booking page on Plan-it-now instead.

Can I look for stylists and apprentices through the salon page?

Yes, in the Team plan. You can activate your own careers page, publish roles for stylists, assistants or an apprenticeship, allow unsolicited applications and manage applications with their documents in the backend.

Pricing & billing

How much does hair salon software cost?

There are several plans that build on each other — from an affordable entry plan with online booking for a single chair up to the Team plan with several staff and locations. Each plan can be billed monthly with the option to cancel any time, or as a cheaper annual plan. The current prices are on this page, transparently.

Is there a free version of Salon Wizard?

There is no permanently free plan. Instead, you can try any plan free for 14 days without payment details, and you can see the demo without an account at all. After that you only continue if you choose a plan. Our templates for client cards, appointment confirmations, hygiene plans and price lists stay free.

Do I pay commission or fees per booking?

No. Online bookings are commission-free — through your booking page, and from Solo Plus through your own salon website as well, no matter how many appointments your clients book. You only pay the fixed plan, without marketplace-style booking fees.

What does a text reminder cost?

Email reminders are included without limit in every plan and cost nothing extra. Text is an optional extra channel: you top up a balance from 10 € and every reminder sent is billed individually — at the same price whichever supported country it goes to. Credit never expires, and nothing is spent without your say-so.

Getting started & security

Does Salon Wizard fit hair salons?

Yes. Services can be set up with the duration that colour and processing time really need, clients can book their stylist directly, and from Solo Plus anyone coming in regularly for their roots gets their appointments as a recurring series in the usual rhythm.

Do I need special hardware for appointment scheduling?

No. The salon software runs in the browser on desktop, tablet, and smartphone. There is nothing to install — calendar, client records, and online booking are available everywhere, including on the go.

Is my client data safe and GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Hosting is GDPR-compliant in Germany. Client data, notes, and bookings are transmitted encrypted and stay in your account.

Missing something?

If a function is missing in your salon day-to-day, send us a note. We review feedback close to real workflows and improve where it noticeably helps.

Services with honest durations, booking with the right person, colour notes in the client record, reminders before the appointment and your own salon page: one system that holds up on a Saturday too.
