Hair salon booking software

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from standard hair salon booking software?
  Most hair salon calendars only let you write down appointments, whereas Anolla is a comprehensive salon management platform that helps maximize revenue for every hour on the schedule. Anolla unifies online booking, salon CRM, automatic reminders and personalized care plan management in one environment. Unlike static salon calendars, Anolla uses AI to prevent double bookings, optimize stylists’ schedules and offer clients the most suitable time. Anolla supports dynamic pricing for haircuts, color services, treatment packages and premium stylists. At the same time, stylists can manage short hourly services and multi-hour or even multi-day color and keratin treatments in a single smart salon calendar.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support short salon procedures and multi-day hair treatments at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s biggest advantages as hair salon booking software. Unlike many salon scheduling systems, Anolla does not lock you into a single timing model – the same calendar can handle 30–60 minute haircuts as well as multi-hour and multi-day color services, hair extension installations or training days. You can also book variable-length salon services such as balayage, bleaching or perm treatments, where the system automatically reserves the necessary time in the stylist’s schedule and workstation usage. All stylists’ time slots, wash stations, toning areas and color booths are consolidated into a single salon calendar, making Anolla an ideal solution for both classic hair salons and hybrid beauty centers that offer cuts, color, treatments, styling and education in parallel.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant help a hair salon reduce administrative workload and scheduling errors?
  Anolla’s smart AI assistant acts as a virtual receptionist for your hair salon 24/7, automatically answering recurring customer questions such as haircut times, colouring duration, price list and salon location. The AI assistant can independently resolve up to 79.3%¹ of standard salon booking-related queries and up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical support requests without involving the receptionist or stylists. Automated customer communication, digital booking confirmations and SMS/email reminders reduce the salon’s administrative workload and phone-based rescheduling by up to 39.3%¹. The result is fewer double bookings, a lower risk of incorrect stylist schedules and much more accurate day planning for the salon.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing help hair salons optimize their prices and occupancy?
  Anolla’s dynamic pricing module automates a hair salon’s pricing strategy for haircuts, colour packages, treatments and premium stylists. The salon owner can configure flexible rules that change service prices according to day of week, time of day, season, promotions or customer group (such as regular clients, new clients, students). All price changes are applied automatically in the salon’s online booking view and POS system according to the configured rules. The system helps fill slower workdays and low-demand time slots with special offers, while allowing higher prices at peak times, such as Friday evenings or before holidays. This way the salon can increase chair utilisation, raise the average revenue per stylist and improve overall salon profitability without manually editing price lists.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for an individual hairdresser and for multi-location hair salon chains?
  Yes, Anolla is built as scalable hair salon booking software suitable for both independent stylists and multi-location salon chains. A solo hairdresser can start with a powerful free plan that includes online booking, client database management and automated reminders. Multi-salon beauty centers and hair chains can use a centralized management view where all salon locations, stylist schedules, chair utilization and sales performance are managed from a single account. The platform lets you add unlimited salons, stylists, assistants and administrators and assign them role- and salon-based access rights (RBAC), so each stylist sees only their own schedule and management sees performance metrics across the entire chain.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich hair salon tools and platforms does Anolla integrate with?
  Anolla hair salon booking software is built on an API-first architecture that lets salons connect the booking system with other key tools. For payment processing there is a built-in integration via Stripe, allowing you to take prepayments for colouring services, deposits for extensions or online payments for salon services. Anolla supports salon marketing and analytics integrations such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel to measure the performance of booking campaigns and the conversion rate of the salon website. Where needed, raw data can be exported to BI/ML tools to analyse stylist occupancy, client repeat visits and average basket size. The platform also includes a powerful API, enabling hair salons to connect Anolla with POS systems, accounting software, gift card platforms and loyalty programmes.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does Anolla’s free package include for hair salons and what do the paid modules add?
  Anolla’s free plan gives a hair salon all the essential tools to launch professional online booking: a web booking form, stylist schedule management, client card creation and automatic SMS and email reminders. This level is perfect for solo hairdressers and small salons that want to move away from appointment books and phone-based scheduling. Paid modules add unlimited automation, advanced chain-level reporting, deep client loyalty management (regular customer accounts, bonus schemes, packages) and extended integrations with payment solutions, POS systems and marketing channels.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help hair salons reduce business risk?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing is designed to reduce the business risk of hair salons and beauty salons at every stage of their development. A salon does not have to pay high fixed monthly fees during periods with fewer bookings – for example in the low season or when launching a new salon. Software costs scale proportionally with actual online bookings, the number of stylists, and the overall activity of the salon, making the model particularly suitable for seasonal beauty salons, pop-up hair salons, brand days, and salons where demand fluctuates from month to month. This allows a hair salon to keep fixed costs under control and pay for the booking software only when the system actually helps generate revenue.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can a hair salon start working with Anolla booking software?
  Getting started with Anolla hair salon booking software typically takes just a few minutes – you simply create your salon profile, add stylists, and set up your service price list. A step-by-step, salon-aware AI assistant guides the entire setup, helping you quickly add cuts, color services, treatments, and combo packages. The platform’s ease of use is rated 5/5 on Capterra¹, and nine out of ten salon team members master Anolla’s core functions in under 30 minutes¹, meaning stylists can soon focus on cutting hair instead of managing spreadsheets.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla's hair salon platform a future-proof solution?
  Anolla is future-proof for hair salons because it is built on an extensible modular architecture that grows with the salon’s needs. Cloud-based technology and AI-driven learning enable the platform to continually improve stylist schedule optimization, gap filling, and personalized customer experiences. Unlike static salon software, Anolla is built around a strong API that simplifies adding new features and integrations. The extensible platform also supports IoT solutions for salons—for example, integrated door access for private bookings outside business hours, equipment rental management for training days, and sensors to measure resource utilization (such as chairs and workstations). This lets salons always leverage the latest technology and keep their booking environment a step ahead of the competition.
