A free alternative to Calendix for your salon
Before paying a subscription and a setup fee, try salon software that starts free: with Saloria the calendar, online booking, client records, website and showcase are already connected, with no commissions.

The first-year cost matters
With subscription software, the first year adds the subscription to the activation fee. With Saloria you can start at $0 and move to a paid plan only when you need it, for example to give every team member a calendar.
Everything integrated from day one
Clients book from the salon website or the link, the appointment lands in your calendar, the client record updates and the confirmation goes out by email. The showcase displays the products you sell in the salon. No need to connect different tools.
What Saloria doesn’t do today
Saloria does not reply to WhatsApp messages for you and does not send automatic WhatsApp reminders: reminders are by email. Online payments are coming soon; today clients pay in the salon. Till, stock and accounting stay outside Saloria.
When to stay with subscription software
If most bookings come in on WhatsApp and you want an assistant to automate them, software built around WhatsApp can be worth the fee. If clients already book from a link, a free plan saves you money.
