Salon software features by plan

Yes, in every plan. Clients book around the clock on your booking page on Plan-it-now, or through a booking widget you add to a website you already have; from Solo Plus they can also book on your own Salon Wizard website. You decide whether a booking is confirmed straight away or waits until you accept it. Clients get a confirmation email with a calendar file, and reminders before the appointment at the times you set.

See how Salon Wizard works

Yes, from Solo Plus: the loyalty card. You decide whether clients earn points by the price of the appointment or a fixed number per visit, and set up to three rewards with their points price – a free service, an amount off, a percentage off or a gift. Points are added on their own after each appointment and taken back if the appointment is cancelled or marked as a no-show. When a reward can be redeemed, the calendar marks the appointment with a gift; you redeem it in the appointment, confirm, and take the discount off the bill when the client pays. Your clients need neither an app nor a plastic card: they see their card in the customer area and through the link in their appointment emails. Salon Wizard writes the terms from your settings.

Guide: salon loyalty programmes that pay off

Partly. From Solo Plus you can set up a series of appointments for a client: every few days, weeks or months, or once a year, with a preferred time, team member and service. A series runs without an end, until a date or for a set number of appointments – ten sessions, say, where a cancelled one is added at the end. You can pause a series and move, skip or cancel individual appointments in it. Clients cannot book a series online themselves.

Recurring appointments in the client records

Partly – it depends on your trade. Tattoo, piercing, beauty, aesthetic and lash & brow studios get consent forms to sign from Solo Plus: a ready-made form for their trade that the client signs with a finger, through a link on their own phone before the appointment or on a tablet in the studio. The tattoo and piercing forms ask whether the client is of age; for a minor, a parent signs. The signed PDF is kept on the client record, and the client gets a copy by email. Hair salons, barbershops, nail, waxing and spa studios get no forms to sign. In every plan, every service can ask questions before it is booked – from a questionnaire or its own, such as hair length – and each appointment can carry a note with up to 8 photos, for a colour formula or a before-and-after, which is in front of you again at the next visit. For a signed record of allergies on paper, our free client record card template has a consent field and a signature line in its beauty and nail versions; it runs in your browser and stores nothing.

Partly. There are no newsletters, campaigns or bulk emails. What helps you get found and booked: in every plan, your booking page on Plan-it-now and a QR code for it; from Solo Plus, your own website with gallery and reviews; and from Solo Plus, an automatic email that asks each client once for a Google review after a completed appointment, if you switch it on and connect your Google profile.

What the salon website includes

No. There are no memberships, packages, prepaid bundles or gift vouchers: each service keeps its own price and duration, even when several are booked together. For clients who come in at regular intervals, there are appointment series from Solo Plus; a series books the dates, it does not bill or count a package.

Yes, in the Team plan. Each team member has their own working hours, vacation allowance and calendar, which you can filter by person and location. You enter absences, team members request vacation or report sick, and you approve; when an absence clashes with booked appointments you can reassign them, cancel them or send the client new times to choose from. Team members sign in with the role Staff or Manager and see their own calendar, requests and absences. Solo and Solo Plus have one staff profile and one location; Team includes one location, and more can be added for a fixed surcharge.

No. Salon Wizard has no point-of-sale system, prints no receipts and records neither how a client paid nor any tip. Clients cannot pay online either: there are no deposits and no no-show fees. Your services and prices are shown on your booking page, and you take payment with the point-of-sale system or card terminal you already use.

Partly. Every plan writes invoices: numbered in sequence, unchangeable once issued, as a PDF and as an e-invoice to the European standard EN 16931 – an XML file, which between two German parties is the XRechnung, and a ZUGFeRD PDF with that file inside; a cancellation invoice corrects one that was issued. For a business established in Spain, Italy, Poland or Türkiye we issue no invoices: the invoice is prepared here as a draft and issued in the system your country requires. The same holds for a business established in another country whose law ties the invoice to a system the state prescribes — in some countries only for invoices to businesses or public bodies. The Invoice profile shows whether your country is one of them. Every plan also writes quotes: as a PDF or by email with a link through which your client accepts the quote, and one click turns it into the invoice (not for a business established in Portugal). You show the area in the menu in the configuration. There is no bookkeeping. From Solo Plus, insights show revenue, utilisation and clients for a period you choose, with an optional weekly report by email and a CSV export per tab. That revenue is worked out from the prices of booked services, not from payments, so it does not replace your books.
