Why Pay $159+ for Every Location When You Can Start from $5?
Salon Ultimate's per-location pricing means every new branch multiplies your entire software bill. A ( 3-location salon chain ) pays $477-$597/month. A 5-location operation? That's $795-$995/month - just for software.
MioSalon lets you choose the features your salon actually needs and pay only for those - starting from just $5/month. Bundle everything together and save up to 75%. Opening a new location shouldn't feel like signing a new software contract.
Your POS. Your Hardware. Your Gateway.
Salon Ultimate's POS is optimized for Clover hardware. Being tied to a single ecosystem limits your ability to shop for better rates or use equipment you already own.
MioSalon integrates with 6+ payment gateways:
- Choose the gateway with the lowest transaction fees
- Use hardware you already own
- Keep your existing merchant relationships
- Support for Stripe, Razorpay, PayFast, Paystack, Xendit, and more
