Best multi-location salon software

Key takeaways

• The best multi-location salon software runs every location from one login, with one client list, one booking site, and reporting by location.
• Pricing models differ more than features: per location, per user, or quote-only. Multiply starting prices by your location count before you compare.
• Enterprise platforms like Zenoti, Phorest, and Meevo fit large chains and franchises. Groups of 2 to 10 locations often need the same core tools with less complexity.

Quick comparison: best multi-location salon software at a glance

Here’s a snapshot of the seven platforms we cover below, based on pricing and features listed in October 2026.

What to look for in multi-location salon software

Use this checklist to compare platforms. It comes from the questions owners ask most when they add a second, third, or tenth location.

• One shared client record: profiles and history should follow clients to every location, with no re-intake forms.
• One booking site: clients should pick a location and provider in one place, without an app or an account.
• Staff across locations: floating staff need connected schedules, so you never double-book a stylist.
• Location-specific setup: each site needs its own services, hours, pricing, commissions, and permissions.
• Consolidated reporting: see the whole group at a glance, then drill into a single location or employee.
• Payments and payroll: tips, commissions, and processing should roll up across locations without manual math.
• Transparent pricing: know the cost per location, per user, and per add-on before you sign.
• Migration help: look for done-for-you data transfer and hands-on onboarding so your sites keep booking during the switch.

How we picked the best multi-location salon software

We compared each platform on shared client data, booking across locations, staff and schedule management, reporting, pricing transparency, and fit by group size. We used each vendor’s public pricing and multi-location pages from October 2026. GlossGenius is our product, so we call out where another platform is the better fit.

7 best multi-location salon software in 2026

1. GlossGenius

GlossGenius treats every location as part of one business. You get one login, one client list, and one booking site, and you add locations from your existing account instead of opening a new one.

Best for: salon, spa, and medspa groups from two locations to 35+ that want enterprise-level control with simple day-to-day use.

Starting price: plans start at $24 a month billed annually. Multi-location is included on every plan. Each added location is billed at a set rate 15% below your plan’s rate, on the bill you already have, with no second account or subscription. You see your exact price before you add a location.

• Client profiles and history follow clients to every location, so a three-year regular is never treated like a first-time walk-in.
• Clients choose a location and provider on one booking site and book in under 30 seconds, with no app download or login.
• One calendar shows every schedule, filtered by location or employee. Staff can work at more than one location, and you can move a client between locations in two taps.
• Each location gets its own services, hours, and staff setup, with commission structures for every team member and location-specific permissions.
• GlossGenius Payroll calculates tips, commissions, and appointments automatically.
• Reports run by location or across the whole business, and the Growth Agent surfaces new revenue opportunities.
• Free Data Transfer imports your appointments, clients, payment info, services, notes, and inventory, with hands-on onboarding for your staff.
• Financing of up to $250,000 is available through GlossGenius to open your next location.

Limitations: there’s no free plan, but you get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Chains with hundreds of locations or franchise-specific permission structures should also compare Zenoti and Phorest. See the full details on the GlossGenius multi-location page.

2. Vagaro

Vagaro offers dedicated multi-location pages for salons and spas and prices by team member, which keeps the entry cost low for small groups.

Best for: budget-first groups that want a marketplace for new-client discovery.

Starting price: $23.99 a month for the first 6 months, then $30 a month. Each added team member costs $10 a month, up to 7. Confirm how Vagaro bills added locations before you commit.

Limitations: clients need an account to book, and per-member fees climb as your team grows. A GlossGenius customer who switched from Vagaro cited a cumbersome client booking login, competitor listings in a public marketplace, and growing admin work. Compare the two in GlossGenius vs Vagaro, or see our Vagaro alternatives guide.

3. Boulevard

Boulevard focuses on a premium client experience for high-volume, multi-provider salons and markets multi-location software built for scalable operations.

Best for: established groups with a premium service model and the budget for it.

Starting price: $143 a month for up to 5 bookable calendars at one location, and $234 a month for unlimited professionals per location.

Limitations: premium pricing that repeats at every location, and smaller groups rarely use the full feature set. See our Boulevard alternatives guide.

4. Mangomint

Mangomint’s multi-location features cover the basics well. You can switch between locations on one calendar, adjust your service menu and pricing per location, manage staff across sites, run location-specific reports, and let clients choose their location online. Each location can also use its own phone number.

Best for: growing salons and spas that want a polished front desk experience.

Starting price: about $130 a month per location with 1 user, plus $10 per additional user.

Limitations: costs rise with every location and every user, which adds up as your team grows. Read our Mangomint alternatives guide for lower-cost options.

5. Phorest

Phorest builds software for multi-location salon and med spa groups and pitches itself as a way to run a group, franchise, or enterprise as one business. Its strengths are centralized reporting, a consolidated HQ view with per-location detail, and role-based access across sites.

Best for: salon and med spa groups and franchises that want strong HQ reporting.

Starting price: quote-based.

Limitations: without public pricing, you can’t compare costs before a sales conversation, and the feature set is built for larger groups. See our Phorest alternatives guide.

6. Zenoti

Zenoti is an enterprise platform for large salon, spa, and medspa brands, with deep reporting and multi-location management.

Best for: enterprise chains and large medspa groups.

Starting price: custom pricing that isn’t listed publicly.

Limitations: some businesses report paying $300 to $600+ per month per location, with extra tools sold as add-ons and annual contracts. It can feel like overkill for mid-sized groups. See our Zenoti alternatives guide.

7. Meevo

Meevo sells multi-location enterprise salon and spa software built around a central office view of your global data, business intelligence, and brand consistency across sites.

Best for: mid-to-large multi-location salons and spas that need customizable analytics.

Starting price: contact Meevo for pricing.

Limitations: setup can be time-consuming and pricing sits at the premium end. See our Meevo alternatives guide.

Two other names come up often. Mindbody starts at $79 a month per location and charges a 20% fee (capped at $30) on first bookings through its marketplace. Square Appointments has a free plan for solo providers, with staff management on paid plans starting at $49 a month per location.

Best multi-location salon software by business type

The right platform depends on how many locations you run and how your staff and clients move between them.

• Opening a second location: you need a shared client list and one booking site without doubling your admin. GlossGenius and Vagaro are the simplest starting points. Our guide to opening a second location covers the business side.
• Growing groups of 3 to 9 locations: floating staff, location-specific commissions, and consolidated reporting matter most. GlossGenius, Mangomint, and Boulevard fit here.
• Chains and franchises with 10+ locations: you need HQ reporting and role-based access. Phorest, Zenoti, and Meevo are built for this, and GlossGenius works for groups that want simpler daily operations.
• Med spa and spa groups: look for forms, consent, and charting that work across sites. See medical spa software, and compare Zenoti and Phorest for larger groups.
• Groups with floating staff and booth renters: connected schedules and per-location commissions keep payroll accurate. Look for staff that can be assigned to more than one location.

What multi-location salon software costs

Pricing is where platforms differ most. Some charge per location, some per user, and some only give quotes. Here’s what three locations cost at published starting prices, before per-user fees and payment processing.

Prices are as listed in October 2026, and vendors change plans often, so confirm on each site. Vagaro prices by team member, so ask how added locations are billed. Before you commit, check these four things:

• Per-location pricing: ask whether each added location is billed at the full plan rate or a discount.
• Per-user fees: a $10 fee per stylist adds up quickly across several sites.
• Contracts and add-ons: annual contracts and paid add-ons can double the sticker price.
• Payment processing: rates are a separate line item, so compare them across locations. For a full breakdown, read how much salon booking software costs.

How to switch your locations to new software

Moving several locations at once feels risky, but a clear order keeps every site booking.

1. List your locations, staff, and services: note which staff work at more than one site and which services each location offers.
2. Export your client data: include contact details, notes, history, and payment info from every location.
3. Merge duplicates: clients who visit two sites often exist twice. Combine them into one profile before you import.
4. Migrate one location first: test bookings, payments, and payroll before you move the rest.
5. Tell your clients: share the new booking link and let them know their history carries over.
6. Time the move well: switch before your busy season, not during your holiday rush.

GlossGenius handles this for you with Free Data Transfer. The team imports your appointments, clients, payment info, services, notes, and inventory, and your staff gets hands-on onboarding.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best software for multi-location salons?

The best choice depends on your group size. GlossGenius, Vagaro, and Mangomint suit groups of 2 to 10 locations. Boulevard fits high-volume premium salons. Phorest, Zenoti, and Meevo are built for larger chains and franchises that need HQ reporting.

How much does multi-location salon software cost?

Expect about $24 to $30 a month for a single-location entry plan, $79 to $234 per location for mid-market platforms, and custom quotes for enterprise software. With GlossGenius, multi-location is included on every plan and each added location is billed 15% below your plan’s rate.

Can one client list be shared across locations?

Yes, with the right software. GlossGenius shares one client list across every location, so a client’s full history is available when they book or reschedule at a different site. Ask any vendor whether profiles are truly shared or only linked.

Can staff work at more than one location?

Yes. In GlossGenius, staff can be assigned to more than one location and their schedules stay connected. Look for the same feature in any platform you evaluate, along with per-location commissions.

Do I need enterprise software for 3 to 5 locations?

Usually not. Enterprise platforms add depth you may not use and often come with quote-based pricing and annual contracts. Groups of 3 to 5 locations typically need shared client records, one calendar, one booking site, and consolidated reporting, which mid-market platforms cover.

How hard is it to switch software across several locations?

It’s manageable if you migrate in stages. Export your data, merge duplicate client profiles, and move one location first. GlossGenius offers Free Data Transfer and hands-on onboarding to handle the switch for you.
