Booking software for salons and spas, job by job
Quick answer
Booking software for salons usually means Mindbody from $79 a month per location or Fresha from $19.95 a month. Omni Studio's personal services workspace is rolling out and works on reactivation for clients who stopped booking, memberships, consent records, and compliance checks. Your booking calendar stays in your booking tool, and no sync is built today.
We set up the workflow described here with you during Custom Build or Enterprise setup. We agree on the records, tool connections, and approval rules before you use it. Custom workflows are not included in the Pilot. Ask our team to configure this example before you try it. The free 14-day workspace uses sample data with simulated calls, texts, and email; daily limits apply. Phone numbers and message delivery on paid plans use your own Twilio account, billed separately by Twilio.
Booking software for salons runs the calendar, payments, and client records. Mindbody starts at $79 a month per location, and Fresha Independent is $19.95 a month, both as of October 2026. Your booking calendar stays in Mindbody or Fresha. Omni Studio sets up AI employees for reactivation and memberships, and every text waits for your approval.

Vagaro and Booksy pricing pages returned errors to plain requests on October 13, 2026, and Square Appointments showed tier names with no dollar figures, so none of the three is priced here. Check each vendor's page before you buy.

What does Omni's personal services workspace do today?
We configure the personal services workspace and approval rules with you during setup. It covers reactivation, memberships, consent records, and compliance checks. Keep your booking calendar until we confirm coverage for your business.
AI employee Reggie handles marketing and growth: it drafts the reactivation message for a client who stopped booking, one client at a time, and you approve each one before it goes out. AI employee Mia answers the phone on your own number and drafts the reply. AI employee Nora drafts the invoice and the overdue reminder. Every decision is recorded.
For reactivation and memberships, Omni replaces the separate tool once the workspace is live for your business. No booking-software sync is built, so Omni makes no sync claim for Mindbody, Vagaro, Boulevard, Mangomint, or Zenoti. Omni connects to the apps Composio supports, which is 1,500+ apps, so ask us about the booking tool you use.
The reactivation playbook shows a check-in drafted with consent on the record. The personal services workspace page covers booking, phone intake, and approval rules.
How do consent checks work before a text goes out?
A reactivation text needs a consent record first. The consent gate checks that record before Reggie's draft reaches your approval list, and a client with an opt-out on file gets no draft. Consent steps also cover treatments, photos, and recordings.
- Export the client listPull clients, last visit date, phone numbers, and any text consent flags from Mindbody or Fresha.
