I built Softalon — an all-in-one platform for salon owners to manage scheduling, online booking, payments, automated workflows, client profiles, and an AI assistant that handles bookings across messaging channels.
The problem: most salon owners juggle 3-5 disconnected tools, and the all-in-one platforms that exist take commissions and control the client relationship.
Softalon charges a flat monthly fee — no commissions, no vendor lock-in. Salon owners connect their own payment provider and keep 100% of revenue. Their client data stays theirs.
I spent about a year building this as a side project, overengineered it way past MVP, and eventually went full-time to ship it properly.
Would love any feedback. Happy to answer questions.
