SalonTarget report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for salons that will call for a quote
SalonTarget does booking, an auto-fill cancellation list, point of sale and inventory for hair, nail and barber shops. No price is shown, you call, and things like two-way texting and multi-location support are monthly add-ons on top.
Who SalonTarget is for
- Fits if you run one hair or nail salon and are happy to phone for a quote
- Works for booth-renters and small teams priced by headcount
Who SalonTarget is not for
- Skip it if you want a posted price, as you have to call
- Tight if you need two-way texting or text marketing, as those are add-ons billed monthly
- Not for you if you want a phone app, as none is mentioned
- Skip it if you run several locations, as that's an add-on too
- Watch out: there's only one Professional plan, so no cheaper tier
Why SalonTarget gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published; the page says to call and that the price follows the number of employees.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial shown on the listing, so nothing here is free.
- CFeaturesBooking, cancellation list, client records, inventory and payments. But texting, remote receptionist and multi-location are separate paid add-ons.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and a salon system with inventory and add-ons means setup.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. The site names no iOS or Android app, and the links are to social and review sites.

Keep SalonTarget, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SalonTarget you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 74 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Appointment booking, inventory, review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- It plugs into other products, Instagram, Facebook and Google Business among them.
What this rests on. SalonTarget’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is SalonTarget?
SalonTarget is software for hair salons, nail salons, barber shops, spas, medical spas and booth renters. Its Professional plan covers booking, a client dashboard, inventory and purchase orders, point of sale, and email and text notifications. Price depends on the number of employees and is quoted by phone, with marketing and texting sold as add-ons.
Worth knowing

- Two-way texting, employee alerts, remote receptionist, text marketing and multi-location support are separate add-ons, billed monthly.
- The site mentions no mobile app for iOS or Android.
- The page lists a single Professional plan beside custom feature sets, so there is no lower tier.
