Hair salons

Hair salon software for independent stylists and small salons

MODX is booking and management software for hair salons and independent stylists in Portugal and Brazil that brings online booking, each stylist’s agenda and per-visit client records together.

Colour, highlights and straightening take time, and each stylist works at their own pace. MODX blocks the right time for each service with each stylist and keeps the formula used at every visit.

  • Built for Portugal and Brazil
  • Clients book without installing anything

The problem

What makes a hair salon agenda hard

Long technical services

Colour, highlights and straightening block a chair for hours. If the agenda does not reserve the right time, the whole day slips.

Each stylist has their own pace

The same service can take longer with one stylist than another. A single duration for everyone creates gaps or overlaps.

Colour formulas lost in a notebook

When a client returns, you need to know which shade and products were used last time.

No-shows on long bookings

A no-show on a colour appointment empties a whole morning. Reminders and deposits help protect that time.

Hair salon software FAQ

What is the best hair salon software?

It depends on your salon. Look for per-stylist durations, a technical card per visit, online booking without client accounts, reminders and deposits. MODX covers these. It has no app-store app (it is an installable web app), no stock management and does not issue certified invoices.

Do clients need to install an app?

No. They book on a web page and can optionally install it on their phone as an app with your salon’s name.

Can a colour service take a different time for each stylist?

Yes. You set each service’s duration per stylist and the agenda reserves that time.

Can I take a deposit?

Yes, on the Professional plan, through your own Stripe or Mercado Pago account. The deposit is kept on a no-show.

Does MODX issue invoices?

No. MODX records payments but does not issue certified invoices. Keep using your invoicing software and check with your accountant.

How do reminders work?

By default an email reminder goes out 24 hours before. You can change the timing, add reminders and turn on SMS, which has a monthly quota per plan.

How much does MODX cost?

It depends on the plan and country. Current prices are on the pricing page.
