Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about SalonTarget, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No price is shown, you call, and things like two-way texting and multi-location support are monthly add-ons on top.
- 1
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.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Booking and scheduling
Multi-service and multi-staff appointments, processing and gap time, room and resource scheduling and a customizable online booking page.
- 4
Auto-fill cancellation list
Cancelled slots are offered to clients on a list, with text, email and voice confirmations and same-day text reminders.
- 5
Client management
A client dashboard, merge tools, status labels from first-time to lost, memberships, packages, series and on-account transactions.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 85
That is against the other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
SalonTarget's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published; the page says to call and that the price follows the number of employees.
We could not confirm SalonTarget’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. salontarget.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
