Why suite stylists choose salon.shop

Built to be found

Your business gets its own page, and so do you — with your services and online booking, set up so Google can understand it and show it to people searching for a stylist near your suite.

Paid straight to your bank

Card payments settle directly into your bank account. salon.shop never holds your money.

Yours if you leave

The account belongs to your business, not to us. If you move on, you keep it — no re-applying for card processing, no gap in taking payments.

On your clients' phones

Clients can save your page to their home screen, with your name and photo on the icon. One tap takes them straight back to book with you — no app to download.

What salon.shop doesn't do

We don't run payroll or pay out commissions. Both mean holding your money first, and we never do. If you're a one-person suite, you won't need them; if you have staff, a payroll provider handles it.

Being fair about GlossGenius

  • Lower processing rate — GlossGenius charges a flat rate that's lower than the standard rate on a salon.shop account, keyed-in cards included.
  • Fast payouts — Payouts are quick, often same-day.
  • Room for a small team — Its entry plan covers teams under 10, and payroll is available as an add-on.
  • Strong mobile app — GlossGenius is mobile-first and easy to run from your phone.

If you want the smoothest all-in-one app and fast payouts, GlossGenius is a good choice. If you want clients to find you on Google and your card payments going into an account you own, that's salon.shop. Check GlossGenius's pricing page for current rates.
