Salon & Spa Software Built by People Who Understand the Front Desk — Not Just Code.
Most development agencies build apps. We build salon and spa platforms — with online booking, staff calendars, POS and client loyalty engineered in from day one. From single-chair studios to multi-location beauty chains and booking marketplaces, we've shipped the real thing for salon and beauty businesses across the UK, USA, Europe and the Gulf.
Recognised for Quality and Excellence by
Who This Is For
Built for the people running the chair, the front desk and the diary every day.
Salons, Spas & Barbershops
Independent and multi-chair salons, spas and barbershops that need online booking, a front-desk calendar, POS and client records working together — instead of a paper diary and three apps that don't talk.
Beauty & Wellness Chains
Growing chains and franchises running several locations — who need central control of services, staff and pricing, per-branch calendars and reporting, and inventory that reconciles across every site.
Wellness & Beauty Studios
Nail bars, lash and brow studios, med-spas and wellness clinics that run on appointments, memberships and packages — and need scheduling, deposits and rebooking built around how they actually work.
Booking-Platform Founders
Founders building a beauty marketplace or professional network that connects clients with salons and stylists — who need a partner that has shipped booking, provider dashboards and payments before.
The Problem
Salon software is different.
Most development agencies find that out
when the diary gets busy.
You started with a clear idea — an online booking app, a salon management system, a POS that finally matches your services, a beauty marketplace.
Then you hired a general development agency. And things started to go wrong in ways you didn't expect.
They built the booking form. But nobody thought about double-bookings when two stylists share a room, or the buffer time between clients. They built checkout. But no one designed deposits and no-show handling, or refunds when an appointment is cancelled. They shipped the app. But it doesn't sync your staff calendars or your client history.
Now you've spent months and a serious budget. You have something that demos well. But you can't run the salon on it — because the front desk doesn't trust the calendar, clients get double-booked, and no-shows keep walking off with your day.
Salon software isn't about a pretty booking page. It's about what happens when appointments, staff, payments and client history all move through the same product.
That's a different skill. And it requires a different kind of development partner.
The Solution
A development team that speaks both languages — salon and technical.
We've built salon booking apps, management systems, spa marketplaces and beauty networks at Shanti Infosoft. We know what a busy front desk actually does, what breaks when the diary fills up, and what it takes to take a deposit and rebook a client without a mess.
Booking Logic, Not Just a Calendar
Services, durations, stylists, rooms, buffers, deposits and memberships — the moving parts of a real appointment are modelled properly, so the product still makes sense when Saturday is fully booked and two stylists want the same room. We design the schedule before we design the buttons.
Payments, POS & Deposits Designed In
Split payments, tips, packages, gift cards, deposits to cut no-shows and clean refunds are part of the build from Day 1 — not a scramble before launch. We map exactly where money moves, and tie every payment back to the appointment and the client record.
Integration Experience
Payment gateways, SMS and WhatsApp reminders, calendar sync, maps and marketing tools — we've wired salon products into the services they live alongside. Whether you need a mobile booking app, a web back office or both, your platform won't sit in isolation.

What We Build
Whatever stage your salon platform is at —
we've built something like it
before.
You don't need to know the technical name. Just describe the salon problem you want to solve.
Customer-facing booking — pick a service, a stylist and a time, pay a deposit, get reminders and rebook in a tap. Web and mobile, sharing one backend with the front desk.
The owner's back office — appointments, services, staff, customers and reporting in one place. A guided booking flow paired with a multi-module management system.
Salon checkout built around services — split bills, tips, packages, gift cards, deposits and memberships, reconciled with every appointment and client record.
Per-stylist calendars, working hours, breaks, room and chair allocation, commissions and availability rules — so the front desk sees one clear calendar across the whole team.
Client records, visit history and preferences, loyalty points, memberships and packages, plus SMS, WhatsApp and email reminders and campaigns that bring clients back.
Marketplaces connecting clients with salons and stylists, and professional networks for the beauty industry — provider discovery, portfolios, reviews and bookings across many providers.
Central control of services, pricing and staff, per-branch calendars and reporting, shared or separate inventory, and role-based access from head office down to a single chair.
Beauty and wellness is broad. If you don't see your product above, tell us on the discovery call — we've probably built something adjacent.

Our Process
How we approach salon & spa software development.
Salon software carries appointments, staff, payments and client history at once. Our process is built around that.
Before we discuss technology, we map how your salon actually runs. Who books — walk-ins, regulars, members? What does an appointment look like from booking to checkout to rebook? And where, exactly, do staff time, rooms and money go?
We map the parts that carry risk first: the booking and calendar rules, deposits and payment flows, client data and who is allowed to see it. We define that architecture up front and build to it — not the other way around.
We design for how a salon really works: a client booking on a phone at 11pm, a receptionist juggling a busy Saturday, an owner checking takings. Booking flows and calendars people actually finish — not ones that only look good in a demo.
Milestone-based development with a review checkpoint at each stage. Daily written updates. Demo calls every two weeks. You approve each milestone before we invoice for it — and before we move to the next one.
We test the parts that carry risk — payment and deposit paths, client-data access, role permissions and calendar integrity. OWASP security testing, penetration testing and data-handling audits before anyone's money or data goes live.
We handle data migration from your old booking tool or spreadsheet, support cutover with a parallel-run period so nobody is locked out, and stay available during go-live. We don't disappear on launch day — a salon can't afford that.
You never pay for the next milestone until you've approved the current one — and confirmed it does what your business needs.

What We Get Right Before We Build
Appointments, staff, payments and
the client record.
A salon platform isn't just a booking button — it's appointments, staff time, money and client history moving together, often across more than one location. These are the things we get right before we write feature code, because they are painful and expensive to retrofit later.
Appointment Booking & Scheduling
Services and durations, per-stylist calendars, working hours and breaks, buffer and clean-up time, room and chair allocation, and rules that stop double-bookings. Customers self-book a service, a stylist and a time; the front desk sees one clear calendar.
Staff & Resource Management
Rotas, availability, holidays, skills and commissions — plus the rooms, chairs and equipment each service needs. We model who and what an appointment consumes, so the calendar reflects what the salon can actually deliver.
POS, Payments & Deposits
Checkout built around services — split bills, tips, packages, gift cards, memberships, deposits to cut no-shows and clean refunds. PCI-aware payment integration reconciled with every appointment and client, designed in from Day 1.
Client CRM, Loyalty & Marketing
Client records with visit history, notes and preferences, loyalty points, membership and package plans, and SMS, WhatsApp and email reminders and campaigns — so a salon can bring clients back, not just take one booking.
Inventory & Multi-Location
Retail and back-bar stock, usage per service and reorder levels, plus central control across branches with per-location calendars and reporting. Underpinned by ISO-certified, CMMI Level 5 processes.

FAQ
Questions?
Answered.
The questions we get asked most often by salon, spa and beauty clients.
A focused MVP — an online booking app, a salon management back office, or a POS-and-appointments system — typically takes 10–16 weeks from scope sign-off. A larger multi-location platform with staff scheduling, memberships, loyalty and payments usually runs 16–28 weeks. Every timeline is agreed in writing at the scoping stage.
Yes. Scheduling is the heart of salon software, so we model it properly — per-stylist calendars, working hours and breaks, service durations, buffer and clean-up time, room and chair allocation, and double-booking rules. Customers self-book a service, a stylist and a time; the front desk sees one clear calendar across the whole team.
We build salon POS and checkout around real services — split payments, tips, packages, gift cards, deposits to cut no-shows, and refunds when an appointment is cancelled. Payment integration is PCI-aware and designed in from Day 1, not bolted on before launch, and it reconciles cleanly with the appointment and client record.
Yes. We build client records with visit history, notes and preferences, plus loyalty points, membership and package plans, and rebooking prompts. Marketing tools — SMS, WhatsApp and email reminders and campaigns — sit on top of that data so a salon can bring clients back, not just take one booking.
Yes. Multi-location is a core requirement we design for — central control of services, pricing and staff, per-branch calendars and reporting, shared or separate inventory, and role-based access so a head office and an individual salon each see the right view. It is modelled up front so it holds up as you add branches.
Yes — a responsive web back office for owners and front desk, and native or cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and Android. Products like StyleTimer ship as a customer booking app plus a salon management back office sharing one backend, so a booking made on a phone appears instantly on the front-desk calendar.
Yes. We wire salon platforms into the services they live alongside — payment gateways, SMS and WhatsApp reminders, Google and Apple Calendar sync, email marketing, maps for discovery, and accounting exports. We map each integration's fields and rules before we build, so bookings, reminders and payments stay in sync.
We work in milestones — you approve and pay for each stage before we start the next, and you own 100% of the code. The discovery call is free and ends with a clear scope, timeline and cost range, with no obligation to proceed.
