Your Salon Needs More Than a Booking Page
Trafft is a great scheduling tool for general businesses, but running a salon requires much more. You need to manage retail inventory, run loyalty programs, track staff commissions, and launch targeted marketing campaigns.
MioSalon is built exactly for this reality. We offer a complete, purpose-built salon management platform with everything you need:
- Billing & POS : Seamless scheduling, invoicing, and payment processing.
- Marketing & Loyalty : SMS/WhatsApp campaigns, points, and referral rewards.
- Inventory & Reports : Advanced stock tracking, dashboards, and revenue analytics.
- Growth Tools : Multi-location management and a branded booking page.
Don't wait for generic platforms to add salon features?MioSalon has them built-in.
Pay for Features, Not Per Staff Member
Trafft charges based on user limits. When you hire more stylists, your monthly bill unpredictably increases with per-user fees.
MioSalon gives you control. Our modular pricing starts at just $5/month for core billing and scheduling. You only pay for the features you need, and you can add unlimited staff members without penalty.
No per-user surprises. No forced upgrades. Just flexible, modular pricing that scales with your salon. Plus, save up to 75% when you bundle modules annually.
Stay Connected With Clients Without Counting Credits
Trafft restricts you to just 5-10 SMS credits per month before charging extra, and limits highly-effective WhatsApp integration to their most expensive ~$69/month tier.
MioSalon's marketing module provides unrestricted SMS and WhatsApp messaging at competitive local rates. Send automated reminders, follow-ups, and promotional campaigns to your entire client base without worrying about strict credit limits or forced plan upgrades.
Freedom to Choose Your Payment Gateway
Trafft locks you into a handful of Western payment processors. If your local provider isn't supported, you have no flexibility.
MioSalon integrates with 6+ global and regional payment gateways (including Stripe, Razorpay, PayFast, and Paystack). This allows you to:
- Choose the provider with the lowest local transaction fees.
- Keep your existing merchant accounts and hardware.
- Process payments entirely on your own terms.
Built Exclusively for Salons, Not Adapted for Them
Trafft serves dozens of industries, meaning their features are broad but shallow. Specialized tools that are critical for salons simply aren't priorities on their roadmap.
MioSalon provides deep, salon-specific capabilities that Trafft completely lacks, including retail inventory management, loyalty programs, advanced POS, and staff commission tracking. These aren't edge cases?they are essential tools for running a profitable, well-organized salon.
