HairConnect vs SalonSolution
Two Belgian packages, two different answers to the same question: how do you bring a salon clients without charging it per client?
SalonSolution writes on its own site "made in Belgium" and "Dutch-language support, you speak to the makers". Their hairdressing page is titled "salon software with an online calendar, till system and client management".
Their rates are published in full, on annual billing and excluding VAT: SOLO € 16.58 a month for one staff member, START € 24.17, GROW € 49.17 for five staff and PRO € 82.50 for ten. An extra staff member costs between € 15.00 and € 7.00 a month depending on the plan. Fourteen days free, no credit card.
They run their own marketplace. Every subscription includes a free profile on SalonFinder, with the words "no commission per booking" stated outright. That is a third way between "software without reach" and "a marketplace that takes a percentage".
| Subject | SalonSolution | HairConnect |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | SOLO € 16.58, START € 24.17, GROW € 49.17 and PRO € 82.50 a month — on annual billing, excluding VAT, as stated on their site in August 2026 | Not fixed yet. |
| Extra staff member | From € 15.00 down to € 7.00 a month depending on the plan | Per staff member with their own calendar; cabins and chairs do not count. Amount not fixed yet. |
| Marketplace | SalonFinder, free with every subscription, "no commission per booking" | No marketplace. Your booking page lives on your own domain and nowhere else. |
| Processing time in the calendar | Not published | Work block and waiting block kept apart: the chair occupied, the stylist free. |
| Colour formulas | Not published | Full history per visit, parsed into brand, product, grams and developer, and deductible from your backbar. |
| Trial period | 14 days free, no credit card needed | No trial account, but your own data in a practice database. |
Where they are stronger
- Their prices are there, to the cent, with the VAT treatment and the billing period stated. We cannot say that today.
- A marketplace without commission per booking is a real offer. We have no marketplace at all: anyone looking for visibility will find nothing with us.
- "You speak to the makers" is not a slogan at a small vendor but a difference you feel the moment something goes wrong.
- They are running at salons today. We are not.
Where we do it differently
- We build for hair salons only, and the calendar shows it: processing time as a separate block, a different duration per staff member, a cabin treated as a resource.
- With us the colour formula is structured data, not just a note. So you can search it, deduct it from your backbar and show it to the client.
- The cash journal is append-only with a hash chain and gapless numbering, and VAT is calculated per receipt line rather than over the total.
- We put your data in a practice database before the decision, so you see your own salon instead of an empty trial account.
- What does SalonSolution cost?
- From € 16.58 to € 82.50 a month, on annual billing and excluding VAT, plus an amount per extra staff member — that is what their pricing page says in August 2026. If you pay monthly rather than annually, ask them what the difference is; it is not stated.
- Isn't a marketplace without commission simply better?
- If you are after visibility it is certainly cheaper than a marketplace with commission. What it earns you depends on how many people search there; we do not know and we are not going to estimate it.
- Why don't you have a marketplace?
- Because a marketplace also shows your clients the salon on the next street. We think that choice is yours to make, and not a by-product of your calendar software.
