Salon & Barbershop Management

Run Your Salon Bookings, Payments and Staff in One System

SoftBela combines a public online booking page with a full appointment calendar, point of sale and customer records so salon owners stop juggling separate tools for scheduling and payments.

Public booking page

Clients pick a service, staff member and time slot from a page unique to your salon, day or night.

Buffer time control

Set buffers between appointments so stylists have room to clean, restock or move between chairs.

No-show tracking

Mark missed appointments against a client profile so front desk staff can spot repeat no-shows.

One flat price

Every booking feature is included for 20 USD per month with no add-on fees for calendar access.

A calendar built for real salon days

Salon days rarely run in neat one-hour blocks. SoftBela's calendar shows day, week, month and list views so front desk staff can switch depending on whether they are checking one stylist's afternoon or planning the whole team's week. Appointments can be created for walk-ins on the spot or booked in advance through the public page. Each appointment links to a specific service, staff member, duration and price, so the schedule reflects what clients actually paid for rather than a generic time block. Buffers between appointments protect against back-to-back bookings that leave no time for cleanup, and no-show tracking keeps a record on the customer profile so staff can follow up before it happens again.

A public booking page for every business

Each salon that signs up gets its own public online booking page listing services, prices and available staff. Clients choose a service, pick a preferred staff member or the next available slot, and select a time that fits the salon's real schedule, since the page reads directly from the same calendar the front desk uses. There is no separate booking calendar to reconcile at the end of the day. Because the page is web based, it works from a phone browser without any app to install, and salon owners can share the link on their own website, social profiles or printed materials.

Payments recorded the way clients actually pay

Once a service is complete, the point of sale checkout records how the client paid. SoftBela supports cash, card payments including Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, mobile money options such as m-Pesa, e-Mola and mKesh in Mozambique, split payments across more than one method, and other custom payment types. This means a salon that takes half cash and half card from the same client can record both parts of the same checkout accurately, instead of forcing everything into a single payment type. Every checkout can include services and retail products together on the same invoice.

Customer history behind every booking

Every appointment and checkout is linked to a customer profile that stores visit history, notes and loyalty points. Front desk staff booking a returning client can see what services they had last time, any notes left by a stylist about preferences or allergies, and how many loyalty points they have earned. This turns the booking page and calendar into more than a scheduling tool, since the data collected at each visit builds a record that helps staff give a more personal service without relying on memory or separate spreadsheets kept outside the system.

One plan instead of a stack of tools

Many salons end up paying separately for a booking widget, a card reader app, a spreadsheet for stock and a notebook for client notes. SoftBela replaces that stack with one login covering the calendar, booking page, point of sale, customers, staff, inventory and reports for a flat 20 USD per month. There are no setup fees and no per-feature upgrades to unlock the booking page or point of sale, since every module is included from the first day of the 48-hour free trial through to a paid subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

All modules included at one price
No setup fees or hidden charges
