Salon software guide
How to choose salon software in the UAE
A short checklist for salon, barbershop and spa owners, so bookings, staff commissions and the till stay in one place.
What salon software should do
Start with the diary. You need a calendar for appointments and walk-ins, real-time booking alerts, and an online booking page where clients pick the service and the staff member.
Then staff. Commissions on services and products, attendance and performance should calculate themselves, so month end stops being an argument.
Then the till and the shelf: POS checkout with sequential invoice numbers, salon product stock and purchases, and reports for sales, end of day and commissions.
ZainaApp covers all of this: 1,500 AED, which includes the first year of maintenance, then 500 AED per year. It works in Arabic and English and is compatible with UAE VAT requirements.
