Salon software checklist

Salon booking system checklist for a small UK salon.

Use this list during demos and trials so important operational questions do not get lost in the sales pitch.

  • No setup fee
  • No booking commission
  • No long-term commitment

Booking workflow

Check how appointments are created, moved, cancelled and confirmed. If clients must book themselves, test the public journey from a phone rather than assuming “online booking” means the same thing on every platform.

  • Calendar by day and staff member
  • Service duration and price
  • Breaks, time off and overlap handling
  • Customer self-booking if required
  • Confirmation and reminder options

Clients and data migration

Confirm how client records connect to appointments, what can be imported and what can be exported later. Ask whether imports are previewed before data is written.

  • Contact details and visit history
  • Notes and duplicate handling
  • CSV or spreadsheet import
  • Export format and cancellation access

Staff and security

Each team member should use an appropriate account rather than sharing the owner password. Review roles, offboarding and access to sensitive salon information.

  • Separate staff logins
  • Owner and admin controls
  • Secure password reset
  • Salon workspace separation

Price and commercial terms

Calculate fixed and variable cost using the salon’s own numbers. Confirm VAT, contract length, cancellation, commission, payment processing and the price of additional users or locations.

Trial and support

Run a representative working day and ask a real support question. Record how long setup takes, whether staff understand the calendar and what remains manual after the trial.
