Why Hide the Price?
When software companies hide their pricing behind "Book a Free Demo" it often means two things: the software is expensive, and you might end up paying more than the salon down the street.
MioSalon believes in 100% transparency. Our pricing is public, fair, and modular. You choose the features your salon actually needs and pay only for those starting from just $5/month. There are no surprise quotes, no aggressive sales tactics, and no hidden fees.
Software That Moves as Fast as Your Salon
Kitomba has been around for a long time, which means it has deep features. However, many users report that the interface feels dated and that development of new, modern features can lag behind newer platforms. A clunky interface slows down your front desk and frustrates your team.
MioSalon is built on modern cloud architecture. It is incredibly fast, responsive across all devices, and features an intuitive design that your staff can learn in minutes. You get deep, powerful salon management tools without the legacy software headache.
Pay Only For What You Use
With custom-quoted software, you are often steered into bundled packages that include features you will never use. Why pay a premium for a massive suite if you're a small team or simply don't need every bell and whistle?
MioSalon's modular pricing lets you build your own plan. Start with core billing and appointments, and add marketing, inventory, or advanced analytics only when your business needs them. Bundle 3 or more modules and save up to 75%. You are always in control of your monthly bill.
Your Payments. Your Gateway. Your Rates.
Many premium salon platforms steer you toward their built-in payment processing. This limits your ability to shop for better transaction rates or use a local provider you already trust.
MioSalon integrates with 6+ payment gateways including popular local providers in your region. This means you can choose the gateway with the lowest transaction fees, keep your existing merchant relationships, and process payments on your terms.
Dedicated Support That Actually Helps
While Kitomba offers support, the availability and response models can vary depending on your plan and region. When you're running a busy salon, you need fast, reliable help from a real person not a chatbot or a ticket queue.
MioSalon takes support seriously. We provide a dedicated team via chat, email, and phone with same-day responses. We also offer free assisted setup and free data migration assistance so you never have to navigate problems alone.
