Salon billing that remembers the client, not just the bill.

First, be honest about the alternatives

When a free billing app is enough

If your salon is one chair or one counter, you mostly need a GST bill, a daily total and a stock count, and you are happy keeping client details in your phone, then a free or low-cost billing app such as Vyapar, myBillBook or GimBooks will do the job. They are built for invoicing and accounts, they are cheap, and your CA probably already knows them.

Salon software earns its cost when the problems are no longer about the bill itself:

• Clients ask "how many sittings do I have left?" and nobody can answer without a register.
• Prepaid cards are tracked in a notebook or a spreadsheet, and balances don't match.
• You can't see which stylist brings repeat clients, or which services make money after product cost.
• You have more than one branch and want one view of sales, clients and staff.
• Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp and Instagram, and half of them are never followed up.

If two or more of those sound familiar, read on. If not, keep the billing app.

A day at the front desk

What changes when billing sits inside the client record

1. Booking. A client books through your online booking link or calls. The request comes in for approval and lands on the day's list, with the chair or room it needs.
2. Check-in. The receptionist opens the client and sees last visit, prepaid balance and package sittings left, before the client has sat down.
3. Service. The stylist adds what was done. Products used come off stock.
4. Billing. The bill picks up the services at 5% and any retail products at their own rate. If the client pays from their prepaid card or uses a package sitting, that is recorded against the same visit.
5. After the visit. The invoice link goes to the client on WhatsApp. If you have set up a follow-up cadence, the next visit reminder is already queued.

The owner sees the same day from the dashboard: revenue, visits and dues.

Salon billing software price in India

JBMOnboard360 Pro is ₹1,999 per user per month billed annually, plus 18% GST, or ₹2,499 per user per month if you pay monthly. "User" means a staff login: a receptionist and an owner are two users. Stylists can be listed as practitioners on bookings without their own login; tell us your team shape during the trial and we'll confirm how many licences you need. There is a 7-day free trial with full access and no card.

Per-user pricing suits a salon where one or two people run the desk. If every stylist needs their own login, compare it against per-outlet salon tools before you decide; we'd rather you pick what fits. Our software pricing guide works through both models.
