Overview

SalonHub360 is an operations platform for salons, spas, and barbershops that brings appointments, checkout, marketing, inventory, and a branded web presence into one service. It is most compelling for businesses that want those functions together and can select a plan around their staff count. The free plan is a constrained starting point; the paid tiers add capacity and business tools in defined steps.

Key features

The calendar combines day, week, and month views with color-coded services, drag-and-drop rescheduling, availability rules, walk-in queues, and a lobby check-in kiosk. That breadth suits salons balancing booked appointments with walk-ins, though a one-person operation may not need all the arrival-management options.

Checkout covers tips, split tenders, partial payments, gift-card QR redemption, per-line tax, refunds, and searchable sales history. SalonHub360 adds no markup or commission to standard Stripe card-processing rates, keeping its own charge separate from the payment processor's fees. Stripe handles payment details, and SalonHub360 says it does not retain full card numbers.

Growth and above add a salon-branded website and custom domain; Growth includes a website builder and client reviews, while Premium upgrades the builder and adds marketing tools, AI marketing suggestions, inventory, and loyalty. These are meaningful additions for a business that wants more than booking software, but they sit behind higher staff-capacity tiers. Team & Operations lists Google Calendar and Instagram integrations, as well as the option to use the salon's own file storage.

Growth and higher plans let salons export client and service records to CSV, a practical portability benefit if the business changes systems later. SalonHub360 says it uses HTTPS, encrypted token storage, and access controls to protect personal information. Its privacy policy says the service is not configured for HIPAA-protected health information unless agreed otherwise in writing, so it is not the right choice for workflows that require HIPAA coverage by default.

Pricing

The freemium structure starts with a free plan and paid plans from $19.99/mo. Paid subscriptions can be cancelled anytime without a contract or cancellation fee.

Plan	Price	What it includes	Best fit
Free	$0/month	1 staff member, basic booking page, limited services and clients, appointment calendar; no payment required	A solo operator evaluating basic booking, provided the service and client caps are workable.
Starter	$19.99/month	1 staff member, online booking, full service menu, client management, basic appointment reminders	A solo salon that needs a fuller menu and client handling but not the website, SMS, or marketing upgrades.
Growth	$49.99/month	Up to 5 staff, SMS reminders, salon website builder, custom domain, client reviews	Small teams seeking customer-facing web presence and SMS reminders, with CSV export available at this tier.
Premium	$99.99/month	Up to 15 staff, advanced website builder, marketing tools, AI marketing suggestions, inventory and loyalty, priority support	Larger salons that can use the added operating and retention tools and need room for more staff.
Enterprise	Custom pricing	For 16+ staff or multiple locations; multi-location support, custom onboarding, priority support	Businesses outgrowing the 15-staff Premium ceiling or operating across locations.

The lower-cost tiers make the trade-off clear: Free restricts service and client capacity and has one staff seat; Starter remains a one-person plan and omits SMS reminders and the branded website. Growth raises capacity to five and adds the website, domain, reviews, and SMS. Premium doubles the headroom to 15 and brings inventory, loyalty, and marketing features. Enterprise is the route for larger or multi-location businesses, but it requires custom pricing rather than a published monthly rate.

Platforms

SalonHub360 is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its privacy policy says the mobile apps do not use analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising services.

Who it's for

SalonHub360 is a strong fit for salon teams that want booking and payment handling alongside client records, marketing, inventory, and a customized website without stitching together separate tools. Solo businesses can start free or use Starter, while teams should weigh the Growth and Premium seat ceilings against the tools they actually need. Businesses handling protected health information should look elsewhere unless they have a written agreement covering that use.

Pros and cons

Pros: The scheduling flow accommodates both appointments and walk-ins, including lobby check-in.
Pros: Checkout supports split and partial payments, tips, refunds, and gift-card QR redemption; SalonHub360 adds no commission to Stripe's standard processing rates.
Pros: Growth and higher include CSV export of clients and services, giving salons a way to take those records with them.
Cons: Growth is the first plan with a custom-domain website and CSV export, so a solo business on Starter cannot access those capabilities.
Cons: Premium tops out at 15 staff; larger or multi-location operations must move to custom-priced Enterprise.
Cons: HIPAA-protected information is outside the default configuration, a material limitation for health-related workflows.

Alternatives

For a different salon or booking setup, compare Klippa, Booqinq, Salonnare, Nail Studio Pro, Twizzlo, Anolla, Bookify, and Zolmi.

Klippa is worth considering when API and web access or its free allowance of one staff member, one location, and 50 SMS per month suits the operation. Booqinq is another free-plan option, with Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows coverage. Salonnare's free plan caps a one-staff business at 50 bookings per month, while its €29/month Starter allows three staff and unlimited monthly bookings. Nail Studio Pro's free tier has explicit client, booking, and service caps, which may suit a very small nail business willing to work within them. Twizzlo is a web-only option with a free plan capped at 150 bookings per month and no SMS, but online payments and tips are included. Anolla offers a free tier for basic online table reservations, with paid features activated as needed. Bookify charges $20.00 USD per month per team member for its Pro plan, a model to compare carefully as headcount grows. Zolmi's shown START pricing is based on a three-staff example and limits stock to 10 products.

Verdict

Choose SalonHub360 if a salon needs booking, flexible checkout, and operational tools under one roof, and Growth or Premium fits its staffing needs. Its strongest case is the combination of scheduling and payment depth with branded web presence and higher-tier salon tools. Look elsewhere if HIPAA coverage is essential, if CSV export is needed below Growth, or if a larger team needs a fixed-price plan beyond 15 staff.
