SalonOS by Certxa
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
What it is
SalonOS by Certxa is paid salon software for nail businesses and professionals, combining booking, front-desk scheduling, point of sale, loyalty, check-in, waitlists, reviews, and revenue intelligence. Clients can book around the clock through a salon website, Google, Instagram, or a direct link, with live availability and automated SMS and email reminders. The calendar handles multiple technicians, drag-and-drop changes, color coding, printable daily run sheets, and blocked time. Its POS supports services, retail, gift cards, split payments, tips, and discounts, and works with Certxa hardware or iPhone Tap to Pay. Loyalty includes stamps, rewards, tiers, progress tracking, checkout redemption, and notifications. Check-in works through a door QR code or confirmation link, while waitlists can text clients about openings. Revenue tools address drift, leakage, slow seats, no-show risk, rebooking, cancellation recovery, churn, and growth scoring. Plans start at $7/mo billed annually, with a 60-day trial.
