A salon POS that lets you focus on your clients

Salon software is any software that helps salon owners and beauty industry professionals with their day-to-day operations. Often, salon software automates and improves processes for booking and scheduling, communicating with customers, staff management, marketing, inventory management and payments.

Any business that schedules appointments can use salon software. Hair salons, barbershops, nail bars, spas and tattoo studios are examples of businesses that can benefit from a salon software solution.

If your business requires a booking point of sale, Square Appointments has what you need. Whether that’s a hair salon, spa, tattoo studio or nail bar, our solution makes it easy to integrate booking, eCommerce, scheduling, staff management and payments so you can run your business seamlessly from one app.

Plus, the Square ecosystem has a wide variety of tools to help you grow, such as Square Marketing, Square Gift Cards, Banking and more.

Download the Square Point of Sale app on iOS or Android, or create your account via your online web browser. Add your services, business details and staff to get set up quickly.
