Salon booking systems: what to check before you choose
Compare salon booking systems across 12 practical criteria: online booking, staff schedules, resources, reminders, data, export, costs and exit terms.
Choosing a booking systemOperational knowledge
A salon-system decision needs evidence, not slogans.
We publish the process, assumptions and checks a salon owner can verify. These resources are based on the working product, public service terms and Brillnet's implementation practice.
We do not publish invented testimonials or customer results. A future case study will state its scope, period, baseline and the participant's approval.

Staff and resource schedulingHow these resources are maintained
Every resource has an owner, update date, explicit assumptions and links to public product or legal pages. A material product-contract change triggers a review of the related guide.
Test your own process
The best proof is your own services and staff schedule.
