Rent the chair. Own the business.
SalonX gives a chair renter or self-employed stylist their own diary, booking page, till and client list for £15 a month. Your deposits and card payments go to your bank, not the salon's.
What's yours
- Your own booking page
- One link for your Instagram bio and your WhatsApp. Clients pick a service and a time, and pay the deposit before the slot lands in your diary.
- Your money, in your bank
- Deposits and card payments go to your own bank account. Nothing passes through the salon you rent from.
- No card machine to buy
- Take contactless payments on your own iPhone, key a card in on screen, or take cash.
- Your client list
- Records, notes, photos and signed consultation forms stay on your account and go with you if you move salon.
- No-show cover
- Keep a card on file and charge late cancellations and no-shows under your own policy.
- Retail without a shelf
- Recommend the products you use, your client buys from your own online shop, a distributor ships it, and you're paid commission.
- Mobile visits
- Book visits at the client's address as well as at your chair.
- Your numbers
- Reports on your takings, tips, retail and what each client is worth.
Questions renters ask.
Anything else, write to info@salonx.ai and a person will reply.
I rent a chair. Do I need my own account?
Yes, if you keep your own takings. Payments on a SalonX account go to that account's bank, so a renter who is paid directly needs their own account at £15 a month. If the salon takes the money and pays you, the salon adds you to its account for £5 a month.
Does the salon owner see my clients or my takings?
No. Your account is separate from the salon's. Your diary, client list and money are yours.
What does it cost?
£15 a month with everything included, and your first 14 days are free. Card payments carry a fee of 2% + 20p on UK cards. Cash costs nothing, and there's no commission on bookings. Prices exclude VAT.
Do I need a card reader?
No. You can take contactless payments on your own iPhone, key a card in on screen, or take cash.
Can I bring my clients with me?
Yes. Import them from a spreadsheet, or from the files your current booking system exports. From Fresha, a guided import also brings your menu and appointments.
I own a salon and rent chairs out. How does that work?
Run your own diary and employed team on your account. Each renter who keeps their own money has their own SalonX account, with their own booking page and their own bank account.
Can I sell products if I don't hold stock?
Yes. Connect with a professional distributor, choose the brands you use and share a recommendation. Your client buys from your shop, the distributor delivers, and commission is paid into your bank.
