A tablet in the salon that clients use on their own
Kiosk mode turns a tablet or computer into a station for clients. It shows only the Saloria consultation, with no menus and none of the salon’s data. Clients fill it in on their own and, when they’re done, the tablet is ready for the next person.
Tap the screen to try it. If you don’t touch anything, it moves on by itself. Tap the logo twice to exit.
What it is, in plain words
“Kiosk” is the name for the self-service screens you see in fast-food restaurants or train stations, where people do what they need on their own. In Saloria the idea is the same: the tablet sits on a stand or a side table, and clients use it while they wait or before their service.
In kiosk mode, the tablet shows only the welcome screen and the consultation. Clients don’t see the calendar, other clients’ records or the settings. To get back to managing the salon, you need a gesture that only staff know.
The client sees
- The welcome screen
- The consultation questions
- Their own photos and results
- The report at the end
The client doesn’t see
- The salon calendar
- Other clients’ records
- The settings
What it does for you
- You keep working while the client fills it inClients answer the questions about their habits, hair and preferences on their own, while you finish with whoever is already in the chair.
- Your data stays protectedThere’s no way to reach salon management from the client screen.
- Always ready for the next clientWhen a consultation ends, the tablet goes back to the start by itself. If someone leaves halfway, it closes shortly afterwards and deletes any photos left on the tablet.
How it works, step by step
- 1
Turn on kiosk mode
In salon management, tap “New consultation” and the tablet switches to the welcome screen for clients.
- 2
The client chooses the language
They tap the screen, choose the language and type their name. If they’re already a client, they tap “Already a client?” and enter their name and email to find their record.
- 3
They answer and give consent
They answer a few questions and read the permissions for photos and data, with large buttons and clear text.
- 4
You join them when needed
For the photos, the results and choosing the look, you sit down next to them. The consultation is right where they left it.
- 5
The tablet goes back to the start
At the end, the client receives the report by email and the tablet gets ready for the next person.
- 6
To exit
Tap the logo twice on the welcome screen and confirm. You’re back in salon management.
To keep the tablet locked on Saloria, you can use a feature of the tablet itself. On iPad, turn on “Guided Access” in Settings › Accessibility. On Android, look for “App pinning” in the security settings (the name varies a little from model to model). That way clients can’t leave the browser or open other apps.
Which plan includes it
Kiosk mode is for the guided consultation, included in every plan: Free includes 10 consultations a month.
Frequently asked questions
A recent tablet, iPad or Android, with a front camera and internet. A computer with a webcam works too.
No. Other records can’t be seen from the client screen, and to find their own record clients need the right name and email together.
The tablet gives a warning with a countdown. If nobody touches it, it closes the consultation and goes back to the start.
Yes. Exit kiosk mode and you’re in salon management; then tap “New consultation” to go back to client mode.
