Salonnare

Salonnare is salon management software for hair salons, nail studios, beauty salons, and barbershops. It combines online booking, point of sale, client records, inventory management, and marketing tools, with nail-focused records for formulas and gel or polish stock. Clients can book through a widget or marketplace; the widget can be embedded in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or an Instagram bio. The POS handles card, cash, and Stripe payments, VAT splitting, emailed invoices, and accounting export. Online payments support iDEAL, Bancontact, Stripe, and Mollie, with deposits and automatic refunds on cancellation. Client profiles can include visit history, colour formulas, and allergy alerts. Separate backbar and retail inventory tracking includes low-stock alerts, purchase orders, and internal-use tracking. Automatic emails cover confirmations, 24-hour reminders, and rebooking. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web in five languages. It offers a free plan, with paid plans from €29/mo. Card payments through Mollie or Stripe incur a 0.5% fee, minimum €0.30 per transaction, in addition to subscription and provider fees.

Salonnare combines salon bookings and administration with nail-specific client and stock records. Consider the payment transaction fee and features marked as coming soon before choosing a plan.

Salonnare is suited to salons and barbershops that want booking, payments, client records, and stock management together. Its nail-focused records and inventory features may be especially useful to nail studios.

Salonnare is salon-management software for booking, payments, client records and stock, with dedicated tools for nail studios. It suits independent professionals and salon teams that want these operations in one system; its free plan is a practical starting point, while higher booking volumes and card-processing fees deserve close attention.

Overview

Salonnare brings online booking, point of sale, client management, inventory and marketing together for hair salons, nail studios, beauty salons and barbershops. Its nail-specific records for formulas, gel and polish stock give nail technicians more relevant detail than a general appointment calendar alone. The breadth should appeal to owners consolidating day-to-day administration, but the free plan’s 50-booking monthly limit is likely to constrain a busy salon.

Key features

Bookings and client records

Clients can book through a Salonnare widget or marketplace. The widget can be embedded on WordPress, Wix or Squarespace, or linked from an Instagram bio, giving salons several ways to surface appointments. Automatic confirmation, 24-hour reminder and rebooking emails handle routine follow-up. Client profiles can retain visit history, colour formulas and allergy alerts, while automatic segments support targeted retention marketing. These records are particularly useful when a technician needs to recall a client’s formula or sensitivities before an appointment.

Payments and salon operations

The point of sale supports card, cash and Stripe, with automatic VAT splitting, emailed invoices and accounting export. Online payments support iDEAL, Bancontact, Stripe and Mollie; deposits and automatic refunds on cancellation can help manage booking commitments. Inventory separates backbar products from retail stock, with low-stock alerts, purchase orders and internal-use tracking. Technician scheduling, a nail service menu, packages and memberships, and retail inventory round out the operational tools.

Card payments through Mollie or Stripe incur Salonnare’s 0.5% transaction fee, with a minimum of €0.30 per transaction, on top of subscription and provider fees. Salons should account for that charge when comparing plans or deciding whether to route payments through the system.

Security, integrations and limits

Salonnare says it uses EU servers, two-factor authentication and an audit trail by default, and is GDPR compliant. Platform-level automatic backups are complemented by administrator exports of a full JSON copy or CSV client list. Six integrations are listed: Stripe, Mollie, Google Reserve, Resend, WhatsApp and Cloudflare. Support is provided through a ticket system under Account > Support. The service is available in English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish.

Booth rental, a developer API and webhooks, a custom domain and a custom sending domain are marked as coming soon on every plan. Salons that depend on any of those capabilities should look elsewhere rather than assume they can build them into current workflows.

Pricing

Salonnare uses a freemium model, with paid plans from €29/mo. The Free plan costs nothing (billed €0/month) and allows one staff member and 50 bookings per month. It is suited to a solo professional with modest appointment volume, but the booking cap makes it a poor fit for a growing schedule.

Starter costs €29 a month (billed €29/month) and includes three staff members and unlimited bookings per month. It removes the free plan’s booking ceiling while keeping a defined team size, making it the more relevant choice for a small salon. Pro costs €59 a month (billed €59/month) and includes unlimited staff members and unlimited bookings per month. That makes it the option for larger teams or salons expecting to expand, at twice Starter’s monthly price. The transaction fee applies in addition to either subscription and provider fees.

Platforms

Salonnare is available on Android, iOS and the web, giving staff mobile and browser access. The platform combination should suit salons that need to manage appointments across phones and computers.

Who it's for

Salonnare is best suited to nail studios and multi-service salons that want booking, client records, stock and payments in one place. Nail technicians gain particular value from formula and allergy records, while owners can use separate backbar and retail tracking to manage supplies. Solo professionals can start on Free if 50 monthly bookings are enough; teams need Starter or Pro depending on staff count. It is less suitable for a salon that requires booth rental, API access, webhooks or custom domains now, or one that cannot absorb per-transaction payment charges.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Nail-specific formula and allergy records make returning-client details useful at appointment time.
• Pros: Booking, POS, inventory and client management are combined, with purchase orders and separate retail and backbar tracking for stock control.
• Pros: Free has no subscription charge, and Starter removes the monthly booking cap for a small team.
• Cons: Free is capped at 50 bookings per month and one staff member, so it may not last as a salon grows.
• Cons: The 0.5% card transaction fee has a €0.30 minimum and is charged in addition to subscription and provider fees.
• Cons: Booth rental, API and webhook access, and custom domains are not yet available.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison of nail-focused tools, see Nail Salon Software. Booqinq is another freemium option with a free trial and support for Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows; consider it if desktop-platform coverage matters. SalonHub360 has a Starter plan at $19.99 a month for one staff member with online booking, a full service menu, client management and basic appointment reminders, which may suit a solo operator prioritizing those essentials at a lower subscription price.

Nail Studio Pro offers a free tier with limits of 30 registered clients, 40 appointments per month, eight catalog services and two clients with digital intake forms, making it an option for a nail professional comfortable with a smaller client and booking allowance. Anolla offers free basic online table reservations and lets users activate paid features as needed. Zolmi gives a three-staff example with stock limited to 10 products and SMS from A$0, which may suit a salon comparing a defined team-and-stock setup.

DialPOS Nail & Salon POS is an Android-only paid alternative with pricing by quote or plan agreement. Clover POS is a paid option without a free plan, with a free trial and Android, iOS and web support. DaySmart Salon is another paid alternative with a Basic plan at $29 a month for one user, online booking, appointment confirmations, social booking and payment features.

Verdict

Choose Salonnare if your salon wants a single system for bookings, payments, stock and client records, especially if nail formulas and allergy alerts matter to repeat visits. Its free tier makes it accessible for a solo practice, and the paid tiers scale booking and staff capacity. Look elsewhere if you need the coming-soon tools now or if the additional card transaction fee undermines the economics of your payment volume.
