What It Is

Uzeli by Growthzilla is an all-in-one management software platform for salons and spas. It is positioned as a replacement for pen-and-paper workflows, spreadsheets, basic retail POS systems, and overly complex legacy salon management platforms. It brings appointments, front-desk POS, staff scheduling, payroll, inventory, marketing, and reporting into a single cloud-based system, used together with tablets, check-in/check-out terminals, and TV waiting lists.

Core Features and Business Fit

Based on the available content, Uzeli covers the full workflow from appointment booking to checkout. Customers can book online through a website, app, or social media, while the system synchronizes staff, schedules, and appointments. Automated SMS/email reminders help reduce no-shows. Once customers arrive, Uzeli supports self check-in, low-touch checkout, experience ratings, and waiting-list displays. On the back end, it offers drag-and-drop scheduling, time tracking, commission and sales tracking, one-click payroll reports, product inventory alerts, and real-time KPI dashboards. Its marketing features include sending promotions based on visit history, re-engaging customers who have not returned, coupons, referrals, and review rewards, making it suitable for offline service businesses that care about repeat visits and customer experience.

Pricing and Plans

Pricing is based on the number of check-in/check-out devices. Solo costs $99/month plus a one-time $299 setup fee, and is aimed at solo operators. It includes one POS tablet, single-employee booking, 500 SMS/month, and phone/email support. Duo costs $139/month plus a $399 setup fee, and includes two tablets, unlimited employees, a TV waiting list, 1000 SMS/month, and a real-time mobile App. Pro is custom priced and offers up to 20 devices per location, a branded customer App, an employee App, multi-location support, BI dashboards, and Integromat integration. The page states that there are no contracts or hidden fees, and that subscriptions can be changed or canceled.

Pros and Cons

The main strengths are its deep fit for the vertical, comprehensive feature coverage, and strong suitability for businesses upgrading from paper-based processes or simple POS systems. The combination of software and hardware can improve front-desk efficiency, and the pricing structure is relatively clear. The downsides are that key information such as free trials, security and compliance, payment methods, and API documentation is not disclosed. Third-party integration appears to be limited to Integromat, suggesting a relatively closed ecosystem. The hardware-plus-setup-fee model may also be less flexible for lightweight users.

Best For and Access from China

Uzeli is better suited to hair salons, beauty salons, spas, and personal care businesses in the U.S. or English-speaking markets, especially operators with multiple employees or multiple locations to manage. Its accessibility from China is unknown, and there is no clear information on support for local SMS, payments, tax rules, membership systems, or data compliance. Chinese users serving the domestic market should carefully assess network connectivity, payment options, and local alternatives.
