# Salonist

> Salonist is an all-in-one cloud-based salon and spa management software that helps beauty and wellness businesses automate operations - from online booking, POS, and client management to staff scheduling, inventory, payroll, and marketing. Trusted by salons, spas, barbershops, nail studios, and wellness clinics worldwide.

Salonist is built for beauty and wellness businesses of all sizes - solo operators, single-location salons, and multi-location chains. It replaces standalone booking apps, POS systems, CRMs, and payroll tools with a single, integrated platform. There is a free Marketplace Listing tier plus paid plans, and a free trial with no credit card required.

Key differentiators: 24/7 online booking with social media integration (Instagram, Facebook), automated SMS, email and WhatsApp reminders to reduce no-shows, multi-location management from a single dashboard, a dedicated customer-facing mobile app, and a consumer marketplace that sends new clients to listed businesses.
