Payroll reports and tax filing are further capabilities to consider, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help you assess cost. SalonApp, Gratsio and Salonist are among the entries, along with DaySmart Salon and GlossGenius. Think through the tasks your salon handles regularly, including the reporting and filing work that accompanies payroll. The listed features offer a way to compare options against those needs.
