AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Salon Booking System – Appointment Booking for Salons, Barbershops & Spas is a well-rated WordPress app with a growing review traction. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 180 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Dimitri Grassi — established developer track record
Cons
- −Sparse visual evidence (0 screenshots) — harder to evaluate the UX before installing

How Salon Booking System – Appointment Booking for Salons, Barbershops & Spas works
Show full descriptionShow less
The appointment booking plugin built only for salons — not adapted to them.
While generic booking plugins try to serve every industry, Salon Booking System is designed around how a salon actually works: staff members with different schedules and skills, services with processing and finishing times, clients who rebook the same treatment every few weeks, and the daily fight against no-shows.
Since 2015 it has been the booking system of choice for hairdressers, barbershops, beauty salons, nail studios and spas, with more than 750,000 downloads.
Your bookings. Your clients. 0% commission.
Unlike marketplace booking apps, Salon Booking System runs on your own WordPress website:
You pay no commission on bookings — ever
Your client list and booking history belong to you
Nobody shows competing salons to your customers
Unlimited bookings, services and staff members — free
See it in action: Online demo | Documentation
Built for the way salons work
Smart booking form — your clients pick date, service and stylist in seconds, from any device. Customizable steps order, colors, fields and direct booking links for your social profiles.
Reduce no-shows — automatic email and SMS reminders and follow-ups (Twilio, Plivo and iP1 supported out of the box).
Staff schedules that match reality — individual weekly timetables, holidays, services per staff member, and notifications when they get booked.
Salon-specific services — duration, price, categories, conditional “secondary services” (e.g. color + cut), service breaks for processing time, exclusive services.
Two-way Google Calendar sync — reservations appear in your Google Calendar; add or cancel appointments from there and the plugin stays in sync.
Grow repeat business — customer archive with full booking history, review invitations after the appointment, unlimited discount coupons.
