Run appointments, billing, stock and staff from one app — priced in GBP, with no per-staff fee. Built for hair salons, barbershops, nail bars and spas across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Many UK salons rent chairs or work on commission, and getting the split wrong at the end of the month causes more arguments than anything else. Salonipy gives salons, spas and barbershops in London, Manchester and Birmingham one app for appointments, online booking, billing, stock, staff and loyalty — with every price shown in GBP.
Set a commission rate per stylist or per service, mark attendance daily, and the monthly payout sheet builds itself with no spreadsheet involved.
Salonipy records cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer. Contactless card is the everyday method in UK salons, with bank transfer common for deposits. Salonipy records the method on each invoice so deposits and balances stay traceable.
UK clients use both, so you can send each reminder by whichever channel that client actually replies to. Appointment reminders, invoices and offers all go out from the app, so nobody has to retype a message or copy a number by hand.
Search for "best salon software UK" and you will find the same well-funded platforms at the top. Most are priced per staff member, per month, with SMS credits and card processing charged on top. For a salon with five stylists that can reach several hundred pounds a year before you have taken a single booking. Before choosing, compare the total yearly cost for your team size, not the headline price.
The other questions that matter in the UK: does it handle commission and chair-rental splits properly, can clients book online at any hour, does the till keep working when the Wi-Fi drops, and can you export your client list if you ever leave? Our buyer's guide goes through each one.
UK hair salons run on colour, and colour is where margin disappears. Salonipy lets you record once how much colour and developer a service uses, then deducts it by the gram every time you bill it, so a monthly stock audit shows exactly where product went. Stylists get their own calendar, two stylists can share a client with a percentage split, and service and retail commission can be set separately. Barbers can bill walk-ins in seconds without creating a client record.
Traditional salon computer systems in the UK usually meant a dedicated PC, a till, a card terminal and an annual support contract. Salonipy needs none of that. It runs on a Windows PC or laptop, an Android tablet or phone, or any modern browser, with the same data on every device. Connect the 58 mm or 80 mm thermal receipt printer you already own, keep your existing card terminal, and record the payment method on each bill so the day close reconciles.
Many UK salons mix employed staff on commission with self-employed stylists renting a chair. Set a commission rate per person or per service, and the monthly payout sheet combines salary, commission, tips and any advances already paid. Attendance is marked daily, so deductions for absence are calculated for you rather than argued about at the end of the month.
Client data is stored in the cloud with owner-only access, staff sign in with their own PIN and see only the screens you allow, and you can export or delete your data at any time. As the salon, you remain the data controller under UK GDPR, and Salonipy gives you the tools to keep client records accurate and to remove them on request.
