What It Is

GoSalon is an online management software platform for the salon industry, covering hair salons, beauty salons, nail salons, tattoo and piercing studios, lash and brow services, cosmetic dentistry, massage, and wellness centers. It brings appointments, clients, checkout/POS, products, finance, marketing, and file management into one “assistant”-style platform, with a positioning that appears more focused on small shops and solo operators.

Core Features and Collaboration

The feature set is fairly complete: Agenda provides scheduling and Google Calendar integration; the client module can record forms, consultation information, birthdays, and loyalty points; checkout supports custom invoices, gift cards, and multiple payment methods; the booking widget lets clients book online; the product module includes inventory control and wholesale ordering lists; the administration module handles revenue, expenses, and reports; Dashboard provides visual business insights; Mailing, automated reminders, and feedback pages support customer engagement. Mediacloud centralizes photos, files, and forms. For teams, the plans limit usage to 1 person, 1–2 people, or 1–3 people, but no role permissions or approval workflows are disclosed.

Pricing and Trial

Public pricing is relatively clear: StartUp €17/month, NextLevel €28/month, and GoExpand €45/month, all excluding 21% VAT. Features increase by plan, from basic appointment and client management to checkout, online payments, inventory, reviews, dashboards, email marketing, and discount codes. A 14-day free demo is available, but users must submit company and contact information; there is no permanently free plan shown.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its strong fit for salon workflows: it can record details such as color history, skin analysis, consent forms, treatment plans, and client preferences. It requires no installation and can be used online from a phone, making it suitable for quick rollout. The drawbacks are that public materials do not explain API availability, developer documentation, specific payment providers, accounting integrations, or security certifications; the highest publicly listed plan supports only up to 3 people, which may be insufficient for multi-location businesses or larger teams.

Who It’s For and Access from China

GoSalon is better suited to small salons in the Belgian/Dutch-speaking market that want a low-cost tool to combine appointments, client records, checkout, and marketing. Access from China is unknown, and its payment and tax setup is clearly oriented toward the local European market. For businesses operating in China, more practical alternatives would be local beauty-industry store management, appointment/POS, and membership marketing systems; international alternatives include Fresha, Treatwell, Salonized, SimplyBook.me, Booksy, and others.
