Salon booking system · 0% commission
The salon booking system that doesn't take a cut of your bookings
Online booking, payments, POS and client records in one system — with 0% commission on every booking and a free bookable website included.
A booking system should do more than show a calendar. It should sell the appointment, take the money, remind the client, record what happened and bring them back. That's the difference between a diary and a salon booking system, and it's the difference between a busy week and a profitable one.
LushLane gives you the full chain. Clients book from your own site rather than a crowded marketplace, so you're never listed next to the salon two streets away. Deposits are taken at the point of booking through Stripe. At the till, the salon POS takes card and cash, sells retail, gift cards and memberships, and closes off the day. Every transaction lands against the client record so you can see who your top hundred clients really are.
Crucially, the clients are yours. We never re-market your customer list, never charge a commission on a booking, and let you export your database whenever you like. Pricing is £22 a month flat with three staff included, and the first two months are free with no card required.

FAQ
Questions UK salon owners ask
What should a salon booking system include?
At minimum: online booking with live availability, staff scheduling, automated reminders, deposits and cancellation rules, payments or POS, and a client database you own. LushLane includes all of these plus a free bookable website for £22 a month.
Is there a free salon booking system?
Free platforms usually recover the cost as commission on new clients, which gets expensive as you grow. LushLane charges a flat £22 a month with 0% commission, and the first two months are free so you can test it properly.
Can I take deposits through the booking system?
Yes — a fixed amount or a percentage, per service if you want, collected by card at the moment of booking through your own Stripe account.
Do I own the client data?
Completely. Your client list is yours, exportable at any time, and never marketed to other salons.
How long does setup take?
Most salons are taking bookings the same day. Add services, set hours, share your link — CSV import handles an existing client list in minutes.
