Your Salon Deserves Global-Grade Software
SalonIQ is well-regarded in the UK, but growing internationally requires a truly global platform. MioSalon is built to serve salons in every major market:
- Local Gateways (40+ Countries): Integrates with Stripe, Razorpay, PayFast, and more. Avoid UK-centric limits and high cross-border fees.
- Local SMS & WhatsApp Rates: Send reminders and campaigns at local carrier rates without inflated international pricing.
- Multi-Currency POS: Handle multiple currencies (GBP, USD, AED, ZAR, etc.) natively.
- Multi-Language Support: Seamlessly serve a diverse, multilingual team and client base.
Every Hire Shouldn't Come With a Software Bill
SalonIQ charges per bookable team member, meaning your costs rise with every new hire. Coupled with add-ons for SMS and apps, your true cost is often much higher than the base plan.
MioSalon offers a better way:
- Feature-Based Pricing: Pay only for the modules you use, not the size of your team.
- Unlimited Staff: Add stylists and receptionists without any per-seat charges.
- Total Transparency: Our pricing is public, so you always know what you'll pay.
No Add-On Tax. Just the Features You Choose.
Per staff models often hide essential features behind expensive add-ons. With MioSalon, everything is transparent. Each module has a clear price with no hidden fees, and bundling modules saves you up to 75%.
Available Modules:
- Appointments & Billing (Base module — from $5/month)
- Online Booking & Client Self-Service
- Marketing, SMS & WhatsApp Campaigns
- Loyalty Programs & Memberships
- Inventory & Product Management
- Payroll & Commission Management
- Advanced Reporting & Business Intelligence
- Multi-Location Management
Build exactly the platform your salon needs today and scale when ready.
Enterprise-Grade Uptime — Even on Your Busiest Day
Cloud platforms like SalonIQ can struggle on poor connections, leading to mid-session freezes on busy days—a direct threat to revenue.
MioSalon is built for high-volume performance:
- Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure: Architected for ultimate resilience.
- Rigorous Load Testing: Stress-tested for peak demand across multiple locations.
- Stable POS: Reliable checkouts and appointment management under heavy load.

- Live Human Chat: Real experts directly from your dashboard—no bots.
- Rapid Response: Quick answers via chat and email without long queues.
- Phone Support: Direct access for complex or time-critical issues.
