← SalonPilot SalonPilot vs. Fresha

A salon booking platform built for multi-tech shops, not just solo providers.

If your salon has multiple technicians, shared chairs and rooms, group bookings, and 'any technician' requests, you need software that checks all of it before it confirms. That's what SalonPilot does.

👥

Built for teams, not solos

Many booking platforms are tuned for one provider. SalonPilot is built from the ground up for a floor full of technicians.

Checks before confirming

SalonPilot verifies the staff, the chair, the room, and the timing all work before a booking locks in — so there are no surprises at the front desk.

🔀

Fair 'Any Staff' turns

SalonPilot rotates 'any technician' requests through your team in a fair order you control — ending the whose-turn-is-it arguments.

Why salons switch

The things a multi-tech salon needs that basic platforms miss.

SalonPilot focuses on the realities of a busy, multi-chair salon — the parts generic booking tools tend to skip.

Knows chairs, tables & rooms

Real resources are counted, so you never get booked beyond what you can physically seat.

Group bookings that hold

SalonPilot checks the whole group before confirming, so a party never shows up half-booked.

Fair 'Any Staff' rotation

A turn order you set and can drag to reorder any time.

Skill-aware scheduling

Only a qualified tech is booked for each service — Russian manicure, lashes, waxing, and more.

Waxing kept back-to-back

Consecutive waxing services stay with one technician, the way they have to be done.

Checkout, tax & daily report

Built-in checkout for every payment type, automatic tax, and a one-tap daily close emailed to you.

Questions

Common questions

How is SalonPilot different from Fresha? +

SalonPilot is purpose-built for salons with multiple technicians, shared chairs and rooms, and group bookings. It checks staff, resources, and timing before confirming a booking, and it handles fair 'Any Staff' turns, skill matching, and back-to-back waxing — the multi-tech realities that general booking platforms tend to handle loosely.

Can we move our history over if we switch? +

Yes. You can import your existing appointment history during onboarding, so you don't start from zero when you switch to SalonPilot.

Does SalonPilot work for multiple locations? +

Yes. SalonPilot runs all your locations from one account, schedules staff between them, and prevents booking the same technician at two locations on the same day.
