salonMonster - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

salonMonster is a cloud-based appointment management and online booking software for salon professionals, which includes tools for staff management, client management, products sales, reporting, and more. The system is suitable for salons, booth renters, chair renters, and solo stylists, and can be integrated with existing websites and Facebook pages.

salonMonster’s online booking system allows clients to book appointments instantly through the salon or stylist’s web page. Clients select a service provider, service type, date, and available time slot, and can then log in or sign up to complete their booking. Appointments can be confirmed automatically, or manually approved by stylists before they are finalized. Automatic confirmations and reminders are sent out to clients via SMS or email, aimed at reducing no-shows. Waiting lists can also be utilized, with options for clients to add themselves to lists, or be added by users.

salonMonster includes a point of sale (POS), allowing users to sell products, manage service prices, sales taxes, and discounts, charge for multiple appointments in a single transaction, and track stylist tips. Reports on income, clients, retail sales, productivity, and commission can be generated, and stylist schedules can be viewed in individual or multi-person formats. The built-in CRM functionality also allows users to track client contact details, appointment histories, and preferences.
