Crafted by stylists, powered by precision.
A bespoke system for the salon floor: one that elevates how your client books, and quietly streamlines front and back of house. Calendar, colour, people and numbers in one place, drawn by someone who has stood behind the chair for seventeen years.
Salon software was built for the back office. Your salon happens on the floor.
ManeOS was built by a salon owner, on the floor of a working salon, so the system fits the job rather than the other way round. It knows a full head of foils is not a blow dry, that development time is not dead time, and that a deposit changes what a no-show costs.
Most other systems start at the desk. They turn colour into a line item, a three-stage correction into one 60-minute block, and retention into a report nobody opens. The craft gets flattened to fit the software.
Front of house gets calm. Back of house gets the truth. You’ll know exactly where every dollar goes.
Weigh it, charge for it, count it out of stock.
An app for the iPad by the scale, for the colourist rather than the desk. Weigh the colour and developer as you mix, and the grams go three places at once: on the client’s ticket at real cost, into their formula history, and off your inventory, tube by tube. Reweigh the bowl afterwards and only what was used is charged. What’s left is waste you can see per stylist. Added on to ManeOS, for salons that want it.

Where the client experience gets elevated.
It lives on your own domain and wears your brand, so it never reads as someone else’s software. New clients answer a short consultation and are matched to the right package, or go straight to the menu if they know what they want. Existing clients sign in and book what they had last time. Either way, the system works out who’s qualified, how the services chain, what the deposit is, and holds the slot while they finish.
Brand name, wordmark, logo watermark, colour and copy are all yours to set, and the page is served from your own booking domain rather than a generic link with someone else’s name in it.
Because it’s a real page and not an embedded iframe, your ad clicks keep their attribution all the way through to the booking. That is a thing most salon systems quietly lose.
Wants to go lighter but wash-and-go, or asks for a lived-in blonde.
A first-time client fills in a consultation before they can book. Their answers resolve to an outcome in your own words, and you decide which package answers it. Tag nothing and they land on the full menu instead.
So you approve the shape of the appointment before it’s in the book, and a three-hour correction stops arriving as a 45-minute toner.
Anyone who already knows what they are after skips the questions and picks from your menu. Looks and packages are priced as a whole, the services inside them chain in the right order, and only the stylists qualified to do them are offered.
The consultation is there for the client who does not know the words yet, not a gate in front of the one who does.
A returning client enters a one-time code sent by text or email. No account, no password. They see every look they have had with you, priced at today’s menu, and book it again with their usual stylist in a couple of taps.
Their details are already on file, so the deposit is the only thing left to do.
The consultation route, start to finish, on the mock salon. Nothing you do here is saved.
The morning read, before the first client walks in.
A board of tiles you arrange yourself: confirmations, requests, commission, team, the day’s numbers. Drag them into the order your morning actually runs in.
Know your numbers before your accountant does.
Reports are the easy part. The Profit Lab is the reason ManeIQ exists: what you must take to cover costs, what a service should actually cost, what a 6% increase does to your book, and how long a service really takes versus what you booked.
The part that makes your stylists better, not just busier.
Goals, wins, education and the team’s own board, shaped to whatever your salon needs it for. Salon messaging belongs to ManeTeams too, so announcements and hand-offs sit beside the work they’re about rather than in someone’s personal phone.
Your team is the business. Treat the paperwork like it.
Rosters the calendar actually respects. Tiered commission your stylists can see the maths of. Leave, contracts, reviews and certifications with expiry dates that surface before they lapse, plus hiring, interviews scored on a phone, and side-by-side comparison.
One flat price per salon.
No per-chair fees, no per-user fees, no per-device fees. Web, iPad, iPhone and Android are in every tier, and so are your notification SMS. Month to month, cancel any time.
Everything a salon needs to run the day.
Everything in Starter, plus the tools to grow.
Everything in Pro, plus the full business platform.
A flat add-on on any tier. Built in, so there is no sync fee and nothing to keep in step. Standalone for salons on other software, A$225 a month.
