Pricing built around
the AI front desk.
Every plan includes the full platform and Iris answering your phone, web chat and SMS — tiers differ only by chair count and included AI usage. A part-time receptionist costs $1,500+/mo; SalonIQ starts at a fraction of that.

Turn things on when you're ready.
The front desk is mandatory because it's the whole point. The growth agents and brand extras are modular — switch them on when the salon is ready to scale.

Features that pay for themselves.
Iris, the AI receptionist
Iris answers your phone, web chat and SMS — booking, rebooking and answering client questions 24/7 while you cut, and handing off to a human when it matters.
- Answers the phone while you're chair-side
- Natural language understanding
- Automated SMS follow-ups
Revenue Protector
Automated deposits and no-show protection. We ensure your time is valued and your income is predictable.
Growth Engine
Optional revenue agents that win back drifting clients, refill cancelled slots and forecast demand — switched on when you're ready to grow.
Transparent metering
Minutes and SMS used vs. included, visible in-app. We suggest the right top-up before you run out — surprise bills are how other platforms lose salons.
What's in every plan
The platform is identical across tiers — only usage allowances scale.
