Dubai — September 3, 2026 — Salonist, the cloud-based management platform used by more than 15,000 salons and spas worldwide, today confirmed a wider rollout of its all-in-one system for booking, payments and client care. The update gives salon owners one place to run their front desk instead of juggling several separate tools.

Salon owners have long relied on a mix of paper books, spreadsheets and standalone apps to manage appointments, take payments and track client history. Salonist replaces that mix with a single dashboard that covers online booking, point-of-sale payments, staff schedules, inventory and client records.

The platform now serves salons, spas, barbershops, nail studios and wellness centers in more than 60 countries. It supports 13 languages and connects with over 40 third-party tools, including payment processors and marketing platforms. Salons can set up an account and start taking bookings within minutes, with no software to install.

Client care sits at the center of the update. Every booking, purchase and message tied to a client now lives in one record. Staff can pull up a client's service history, product preferences and notes before the client sits in the chair. Salons can also send automatic reminders, follow-up messages and rebooking prompts, cutting the manual work that front desk staff used to handle by hand.
Payments run through the same system as bookings. Salons can take deposits at the time of booking, process payments at checkout and track tips and commissions without switching screens. Salonist supports several payment gateways, letting salons keep the processor they already use.

"Salon owners did not start their business to manage five different logins. They started it to take care of their clients. Every feature we build has to make that easier, not add another screen to check. Bringing booking, payments and client records together removes a lot of the busywork that pulls owners away from the floor," said Neeraj Gupta, Founder and CEO of Salonist.
Salonist reports that salons using the combined system see fewer scheduling conflicts and faster checkout times, since staff no longer need to reconcile bookings and payments across separate tools. The company said early adopters also reported clearer visibility into which clients were overdue for a rebooking.

The platform is built with data protection in mind, holding PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR and CCPA compliance. Salonist is rated 4.4 out of 5 on Capterra, 5 out of 5 on G2 and 4.9 out of 5 on SoftwareSuggest.

The salon industry has been slower than some sectors to move away from paper and spreadsheets, often because staff spend most of the day with clients rather than at a desk. Salonist said its onboarding is built around that reality, with most new salons entering their client list, setting up services and turning on reminders within a single afternoon. New customers can try the combined system with their real schedule during a free trial before committing to a paid plan.

Salonist plans to keep expanding the platform through 2026, with further updates planned for multi-location reporting and client marketing tools later in the year.
