Salongram
About Salongram
Salongram is a salon booking and management app built by Sumsols Technologies for small salons whose front desk runs on a phone.
Why we built it
Most salon software is built for chains with a desktop at reception. Many salons book on a phone, between clients, standing up. Salongram is built for that: the schedule opens first, booking takes two steps, and nothing waits for the internet.
What we believe
Software should warn, not block: the person at the desk knows things the app does not.
Clients should be contacted the way they already talk to you, which for many salons is WhatsApp, and every message should come from your own number.
A salon should never lose a booking because the Wi-Fi dropped.
Who builds Salongram
Salongram is designed, built and maintained by Sumsols Technologies, the developer of the app on Google Play. The same team writes this website.
Who writes and checks the guides
Pages are credited to the Salongram Editorial Team: the people at Sumsols who build the app. We do not use invented author names.
Country and city guides are researched with the help of AI tools, every local fact is checked against a named source listed on the page, every claim about the app is checked against the app itself, and a person reviews each guide before it is published.
The app in plain facts
What Salongram does
- Schedule first
- The home screen is the day's schedule, as an agenda, staff columns or a timeline, for today, tomorrow or any date, with a staff filter and a live current-time line.
- Two-step booking that never blocks
- Pick or create the customer, services, staff, date and time, then confirm. Overlaps, closed hours and untrained staff show a warning, and the booking can still go ahead.
- Appointment lifecycle
- Each appointment moves through confirm, arrived, start, complete and rebook. Cancellations follow the salon's policy with undo, and no-shows are recorded on the customer's history.
- Customer records
- Search customers by name or any phone format, with visit history, preferences and filters.
- Services and packages
- Services with prices and durations, grouped by category, plus packages that bundle several services at the original price, a fixed price or a percentage off.
- Staff and working hours
- Staff with their own working hours, breaks, time off and the services they are trained for.
- Waiting list
- Waiting list entries by time window or flexible date, with priority. When a booking is cancelled, matching entries are shown and one tap turns an entry into a booking.
- Rebooking reminders
- When a repeatable service is completed, a reminder is created for when the customer is due back: book now, prepare a WhatsApp nudge, snooze or dismiss.
- Public booking link and QR code
- Each salon gets a public booking page, reached by link or QR code. Customers pick services, stylist, day and time from real free slots; the booking arrives in the app as a request the salon accepts, changes or declines.
- WhatsApp messages, sent by the salon
- The app prepares confirmation, reminder and rebooking messages that staff can edit, copy or open in WhatsApp. The salon sends them from its own WhatsApp.
- Payments ledger
- Advances and payments are recorded as cash or card, with refunds and outstanding balances, and a quick payment screen for walk-ins.
- Reports and dashboard
- Sales (cash and card, advances, refunds, outstanding), bookings (completion and no-show rates) and staff performance, plus a dashboard with the day at a glance.
- Offline first, with cloud sync
- Everything is stored on the device first and works without internet. With an optional account, data is backed up and synced across the salon's devices.
- Languages and currencies
- The app is available in English, Arabic (right to left) and Spanish, and works in any ISO currency.
- Platforms and price
- Salongram is free to download on Google Play for Android and on the App Store for iPhone.
- Shareable receipts
- Any appointment can be shared as a receipt image laid out like an 80 mm till slip, with the salon logo, services, discount and total.
- Notifications to the salon
- The salon's phone can be notified shortly before each appointment, when waiting-list clients fit a free slot, and when an online booking request arrives.
- Account and sign-in
- An optional account (username and password, or Google) adds backup, sync and the booking page. Fingerprint or face sign-in, password change and account deletion are in the app.
- Guided setup
- A short setup wizard (business, currency, hours, team, services), a getting-started checklist and a spotlight tour. Every step except the business name can be skipped.
What Salongram does not do
- No card processing
- Payments are recorded in the app, not processed. There is no card reader, payment terminal or online payment.
- No automatic WhatsApp or SMS
- The app never sends messages by itself. Staff open each prepared message in WhatsApp and send it.
- Not a marketplace
- Salongram does not list salons in a public directory and has no Fresha, Treatwell or Booksy integration. Customers book through the salon's own link.
- Online bookings are requests
- Bookings from the public page arrive as requests and are confirmed only when the salon accepts them.
- No POS, stock or accounting integration
- There is no point-of-sale hardware, stock control, accounting or tax software integration.
- No payroll or commission
- Staff performance is reported, but the app does not calculate wages or commission.
- No staff logins or roles
- There is one account per salon. Staff are team members with their own hours and services, not separate users with permissions.
- No direct receipt printing
- Receipts are shared as images through the phone; there is no Bluetooth or thermal printer connection.
- Message templates in English
- The prepared WhatsApp messages are written in English today, whatever language the app uses. They can be edited before sending.
- No gift cards, loyalty or memberships
- There are no gift cards, loyalty points, memberships or product sales.
- Day views only, no calendar sync
- The schedule shows one day at a time; there is no week or month grid and no Google Calendar or Outlook sync.
