What it does

Everything a salon or spa touches, on one screen.

Dashboard with live salon KPIs • clients • staff & salon employee management with commission • services & pricing • appointments & calendar • salon inventory management with reorder alerts • sales & expenses • suppliers • reports by staff and category.

A commission rollup for every stylist

Click any staff card and see their own numbers — this month's appointments, revenue and commission owed, plus upcoming and completed bookings — not the whole salon's totals mixed together.

Booking a service fills in the price for you

Pick a service on an appointment and its price and duration come from your menu automatically — no retyping, no stylist charging the wrong price by habit.

Salon inventory management that flags itself

Every product carries a cost, a retail price and a reorder level — anything at or below it shows up on the dashboard before a stylist reaches for an empty shelf.

A calendar that never needs entering twice

The month grid pulls every appointment live from your bookings, and reports break income and expenses down by category and by staff member — printed or exported to CSV.

One app, every chair

Built for every kind of salon and studio.

A "service" is whatever you sell by the appointment — the same screens run a one-chair studio or a full team.

Why salons switch

You're not really choosing between two salon apps.

You're choosing between paying once and paying per chair, per month, for booking and payment features a self-managing salon may never open.

Competitor pricing is a general market range for small-salon management software, not a quote from any single company — check current pricing on each site. OwnDesk Salon does not take online bookings or process card payments itself, and does not sync live between two computers; it is single-computer by design, with a backup file to move between devices.

From payment to your first appointment

Three steps, about two minutes.

Pay with card

Checkout runs on Stripe. Your card details never touch this site.

Download and open

The link appears the moment payment clears. Double-click the file — it opens in your browser, no install, no internet needed after that.

Clear the sample salon, add your own

It opens with five sample staff, a dozen clients and a month of appointments already loaded so you can see how it works. Clear it in one click from Settings and add your first client.

14-day money-back guarantee Plus support from Adrián, usually the same working day

Questions

Before you buy.

What is the best salon management software for a small salon or independent stylist?

The category leaders charge per chair or per month once you are past a limited free tier — often $30–$150 a month, more with online booking and payment processing added on. OwnDesk Salon covers the daily work — appointments, a commission rollup per stylist, salon inventory management with reorder alerts, and cash flow — for a one-time price. It does not take online bookings from clients or process card payments itself; if you need those, that is a real reason to pay for a subscription.

Can it track staff commission automatically?

Yes. Set a commission percentage once per staff member, and it is calculated automatically from that month’s completed appointments — click any staff card for their own rollup of appointments, revenue and commission owed, without exporting anything or doing payout math by hand.

Does it track retail and back-bar inventory?

Yes. Every product carries a cost, a retail price, quantity on hand and a reorder level, and anything at or below that level is flagged on the dashboard before you run out mid-service.

Can two computers share the same salon data?

Not in this version — it’s single-computer by design. Move data between machines with an export and restore backup file; only one computer should be the working copy at a time. If your front desk and your back office both need to edit live at once, this isn’t the right fit, and it’s better to know that before buying than after.

Does it take bookings from clients online?

No. It organizes the appointments you enter — client, staff, service, date and status — but does not offer an online booking page or process payments itself. Pair it with your own booking widget or payment method for those.

What do you get, and what do you need to run it?

The complete application as one HTML file, a Quick Start guide and a lifetime licence for one salon. Any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPad or Android. Nothing to install.

Is there salon inventory management built in, or do I need a separate app?

It is built in, not bolted on. Every retail and back-bar product carries a cost, a retail price, quantity on hand and a reorder level, and the dashboard flags anything at or below that level. That is the whole reason it exists as its own module rather than a generic "products" list — a salon runs out of a specific conditioner or a specific wax, not "inventory" in the abstract.

Does it work for a nail salon, tanning salon or salon suite, or only hair salons?

Every module — services, staff commission, appointments, retail inventory — is generic on purpose: a "service" is whatever you sell by the appointment, whether that is a haircut, a gel manicure, a tanning session or a chair rental. A solo booth renter running one salon suite and a multi-chair hair, nail or beauty salon use the exact same screens; the only difference is how many staff cards and services you add.

See your own salon in it before you decide.
