# SalonTarget review (2026): is it worth it? > Salon management with a single priced-by-employee Professional plan Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. 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. - **Category:** Salon, Spa & Studio Booking - **Made by:** SalonTarget, INC. - **Website:** https://www.salontarget.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a posted price, as you have to call. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing SalonTarget's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Booking and scheduling:** Multi-service and multi-staff appointments, processing and gap time, room and resource scheduling and a customizable online booking page. - **Auto-fill cancellation list:** Cancelled slots are offered to clients on a list, with text, email and voice confirmations and same-day text reminders. - **Client management:** A client dashboard, merge tools, status labels from first-time to lost, memberships, packages, series and on-account transactions. - **Inventory control:** Product dashboards, purchase orders with receiving and transfers, barcode scanner support and product-specific promotions. - **Point of sale and payments:** Tip management with separate tips per provider, customizable receipts, eGift cards and card on file or pre-authorization. - **Marketing add-ons:** Targeted email campaigns and a loyalty program are listed; two-way texting, remote receptionist and text marketing are monthly add-ons. ## Good for - Salons, spas and barber shops that want a phone-led setup - Booth-rental salons managing renters alongside services - Shops that keep detailed inventory and purchase orders ## Worth knowing - No prices are published: the pricing page says to call, with the price based on the number of employees. - 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; the page says to call and that the price follows the number of employees. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial shown on the listing, so nothing here is free. - **Features: C.** Booking, cancellation list, client records, inventory and payments. But texting, remote receptionist and multi-location are separate paid add-ons. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and a salon system with inventory and add-ons means setup. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only. The site names no iOS or Android app, and the links are to social and review sites. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from SalonTarget's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among salon, spa and studio booking apps - SalonTarget's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 1 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade, and level with 10. - It stands best on value for money (C, above 12 of 85) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/service-booking ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Appointment booking, inventory, review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Instagram, Facebook and Google Business among them.
