Enterprise-Grade Salon Tools Without the Enterprise Price Tag

Simple Salon gives independent salons and growing groups the reporting, marketing automation, and operations features they need, with pricing that’s published, not quoted.

Why Salon Owners Are Switching From Zenoti

Simple Salon is a Zenoti alternative that gives growing salons enterprise-grade tools without the enterprise price tag. Appointments, POS, marketing automation, multi-location support and 40+ reports come standard, on transparent, accessible pricing rather than the complexity and cost built for large chains. Zenoti is designed for large enterprise spa and salon chains. Its feature set, implementation requirements, and pricing reflect that. For small to mid-size salons looking for a capable management platform, Zenoti’s complexity and cost create a significant barrier. Simple Salon is a Zenoti alternative that delivers the core management tools growing salons actually need, appointments, POS, marketing automation, multi-location support, and 40+ reports, at a price point that’s transparent and accessible from day one.
