Merlin overview

What is Merlin?

Merlin is a salon management software that helps beauty professionals schedule appointments, capture customer data, manage inventory, and collect payments. The platform allows teams to set up discount offers and track purchase history on a unified interface.

Managers can record details such as addresses, phone numbers, email IDs, and commission rates to create employee profiles. Merlin enables administrators to define annual targets for staff members and assess the salon’s performance in accordance with industry benchmarks. Supervisors can also manage cash registers, suppliers, marketing operations, and loyalty programs on a centralized dashboard.

Merlin lets operators centralize and secure customers’ information in compliance with general data protection regulation (GDPR) protocols.
