I’ve been using iSalon for nearly 20 years, and it’s been a huge part of helping me run salons efficiently. Throughout that time, the software has been reliable, easy to use, and has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of the industry.
I’m now upgrading to Salon Manager, and it’s great to see how much the platform has developed while still keeping the features and familiarity I’ve relied on for years. The rebrand reflects a modern, forward-thinking approach, and the new system offers even more tools to help manage appointments, staff, clients, and business performance.
The support team has always been helpful and knowledgeable, and it’s reassuring to know that the company continues to invest in improving the software for long-term users like myself.
After two decades of using the system, I can confidently recommend Salon Manager to any salon owner looking for a dependable, professional salon management solution.

We’ve been very pleased with this salon booking software. The integrations work seamlessly, and the system is intuitive, reliable, and easy to use for both staff and clients. Customer service is excellent, always responsive and happy to help when needed.

What really stands out is their commitment to continuous improvement. They regularly enhance the system, provide plenty of notice before any changes are introduced, and genuinely listen to customer feedback. Suggestions are taken on board, and they are always looking for ways to make the software even better. Highly recommended.
