Booking apps for salons, spas and at-home beauty services
Custom Beauty & SalonApp Development Company
Digittrix builds custom beauty and salon apps that connect customer bookings, staff calendars, payments and daily operations. We help salons, spas and at-home beauty businesses plan, design, test and launch mobile apps and websites. Choose the customer, beautician and admin tools your business needs, then agree the features, price and handover.
A beauty booking app lets customers choose a service, book an available professional, pay and manage their appointments. Staff manage their calendars, while owners control services, bookings and reports.
Digittrix beauty app development pricing is USD 1,499 for a basic salon booking app, USD 1,500-2,499 for a multi-branch salon platform, and USD 2,500+ for an on-demand beauty marketplace.
Allow an indicative 8–16 weeks for a standard salon app after we agree the requirements. Marketplaces and complex integrations need separate estimates. Our mobile app and web development teams plan the connected systems with you.

How Beauty Apps Support Your Business Model
A salon app supports your own appointments and repeat visits. A marketplace also coordinates independent professionals and commissions. Choose your revenue model, then define deposits, refunds, payouts and reporting before development.
01
Service bookings and deposits connect customer demand with available staff time.
02
At-home appointments and provider commissions support marketplace operations.
03
Memberships, treatment packages and loyalty rewards encourage repeat visits.
04
Beauty product sales and relevant recommendations extend the customer journey.
Six focused product formats
Beauty and Salon Apps We Build
Choose a single-salon app, spa platform, at-home service app or marketplace. Each model needs different booking rules, staff tools and payment controls.
01
Custom Salon Booking App Development
Let customers choose services, staff and available appointments. Bring online bookings and reception entries into the same calendar, with deposits, reminders and rebooking.
We prototype service selection, available slots, checkout and staff tasks before development. Your team reviews the screens for clear prices, readable text, accessible controls and an easy booking journey.

Connect Payments, Salon Software and Reminders
Decide which system controls each booking, customer record and payment update. We check the vendor’s API access, fees and update rules before connecting your app to existing tools.
Payments & settlements
Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal or Cashfree, subject to market support. Define deposits, refunds, tips and reconciliation.
POS, CRM & inventory
Choose which system controls customer, booking and stock records. Check access, licence fees and how updates move between systems.
Maps & service areas
Coverage checks, address selection and travel estimates for at-home services; location permissions only where needed.
Notifications & consultations
Push, SMS, email or WhatsApp confirmations and reminders. Add chat or video where the service requires it.
Analytics & attribution
Track completed bookings, payment success, no-shows and repeat visits with documented events and consent choices.
AI & virtual try-on
Evaluate recommendations and AR previews against real devices, vendor fees, customer consent and output limitations.
Reliable Bookings, Payments and Customer Data
A feature list is only useful when the app handles real booking problems. Agree the following rules and test the expected result before launch.
Prevent double bookings
Hold a slot during checkout and release it when the hold expires. Test two customers requesting the same professional and time: only one booking should confirm.
Walk-ins, waitlists and cancellations
Record reception bookings in the same calendar as online appointments. Agree reminder timing, cancellation deadlines and how a waitlisted customer claims a newly available slot.
Recover failed payments
Match provider payment references to booking records. Test delayed and repeated notifications, failed deposits and refunds without duplicating appointments or charges.
Respect travel and branch rules
Check staff shifts, preparation time, branch time zones and service areas. Leave enough time between home visits and agree who handles a professional’s cancellation.
Control customer-data access
Limit access to customer records, photos and locations by role. Agree consent, retention, access logs, backups and account-deletion handling with your team.
Move existing salon data carefully
Check a sample export for duplicate customers, future appointments and prepaid balances. Review a trial import with staff, then agree the final switch and recovery plan.
Optional Beauty App Features: AI, Memberships and More
Once the booking journey works, choose additions that solve a clear customer or staff problem. These options need their own budget, provider checks and testing. Your proposal lists any included options.
AI recommendations
Relevant service and product suggestions, with transparent preferences and human support.
Multi-language support
Localised service details, booking messages and customer support for your target regions.
Memberships and rewards

Virtual beauty try-on
Illustrative AR previews for selected products, tested on supported devices.
Chat and consultations
Customer questions, professional advice and booking-linked communication.

USD 2,500+
Prices are in USD. Every tier includes Android and iOS apps, a website/web interface and an admin panel, plus design revisions, launch assistance and post-launch support for the agreed scope. Customer, staff and provider functions follow the selected product tier. Before development, agree the branch or provider count, screens, revision rounds, integrations, delivery milestones and handover. Record whether the build uses custom code or an agreed reusable foundation, including source access and licence terms. Specify the support period, covered tasks, hours and response targets in the proposal. Continued maintenance after that period and later feature changes need a separate agreement. Taxes, hosting, messaging, payment-provider charges, app-store fees, third-party licences and data migration cost extra unless expressly included. Advanced AI, AR, video and custom payouts require separate scoping. Any INR billing amount is confirmed in the written quotation. App-store review is outside the development schedule.
Choose the scope before comparing prices
A minimum viable product (MVP) is the first version that handles a complete booking journey. We can build it from scratch or assess a reusable foundation. Compare the included features, ownership and exclusions alongside the price.
Define what is included
Specify user roles, platforms, screens, booking and cancellation rules, design revisions, integrations, test coverage, launch assistance and acceptance criteria.
Agree ownership and handover
Confirm custom-code transfer, repository access, deployment documents, credentials and app-store accounts. Third-party software retains its licence terms.
Budget beyond the build: hosting, messaging, payment fees, vendor renewals and maintenance and support beyond the included post-launch period require a separate agreement.
Plan the First Version of Your Beauty App
Start with a complete booking journey. Track booking completion, payment failures, no-shows and repeat visits before deciding what to add next.
Salon first release
Customer booking and essential admin controls
Service catalogue, staff availability, appointment confirmation, deposits or payments, cancellations and operational access. Agree which platforms and roles are included.
Service areas, provider availability, travel buffers, appointments, payment status and support. Test actual delivery capacity before expanding coverage.
Timeline assumptions: approved scope and designs, ready content and vendor access, and timely feedback. Vendor onboarding, migration, app-store review and scope changes can extend the launch date.
Plan later releases: memberships, additional branches, product commerce, advanced AI and AR, new device-specific functions and complex integrations based on usage evidence.
How We Develop Your Beauty App
Define the business model and booking rules first, then agree design, engineering, testing, release and maintenance responsibilities.
Discover & scope
Map the business model, platforms, roles, booking rules and integrations. Agree deliverables and acceptance criteria.
Design & validate
Prototype service discovery, availability, checkout and staff tasks. Review mobile usability and accessibility.
Build & integrate
Implement shared APIs, mobile or web interfaces, payments and operational controls in reviewable milestones.
Test real scenarios
Check simultaneous bookings, failed payments, cancellations, time zone handling, permissions and device compatibility.
Launch & hand over
Prepare agreed app-store submissions, deployment documentation, access transfer and staff onboarding.
Maintain & improve
Monitor booking failures, crashes and vendor changes. Prioritise improvements using actual customer and staff feedback.
Beauty App Maintenance and Support
Keep the agreed product working after launch. For an existing app, review its code, dependencies and infrastructure to define the support requirements.
Bug fixes and release upkeep
Reproducible defects, security patches, dependency updates, Android and iOS compatibility, and regression checks for login, booking and payment journeys.
Integration continuity
Review changes to booking systems, POS and CRM services, maps, chat, payments and notifications. Confirm synchronisation and recovery after provider updates.
Monitoring and incident handling
Agree monitoring for crashes, booking failures, payment incidents and backups, with clear reporting and escalation responsibilities.
Every tier includes post-launch support. Confirm its period, covered tasks, support hours, severity levels and response targets before launch. Continued maintenance and later feature work need a separate agreement. Hosting and third-party charges remain separate unless explicitly included.
How the MadamG Timeline Fits
Digittrix confirmed a 30-day original MVP for MadamG, covering AI Skin Checker, booking, e-commerce and payment-gateway integration. The MVP went live in November 2025; full-project handover followed in February 2026.
That milestone describes a specific project. For a new standard salon booking app, plan an indicative 8–16 weeks after scope and design approval and receipt of the required content and access. We estimate marketplaces and complex integrations separately.

Allow an indicative 8–16 weeks for a standard salon booking app after scope and design approval and receipt of the required content and account access. Multi-branch platforms and marketplaces need their own estimates. Data migration, integrations, vendor onboarding, app-store review and scope changes can affect the launch date.
Start with a service menu, staff availability, appointment booking, payments, reminders, cancellation rules and essential admin controls. Confirm the customer, professional and admin screens you need on Android, iOS or web. Add memberships, retail sales and advanced features after customers and staff test the core booking journey.
Subscription booking software may suit a salon with standard scheduling needs. Consider a custom app when you need your own customer experience, unusual booking rules, several connected systems or a marketplace. Compare recurring fees, data export, ownership and the cost of future changes before choosing.
The app checks the customer address, service area, professional availability and travel time before offering an appointment. Your team sets acceptance deadlines, reassignment rules and customer updates. Include location tracking, provider checks and payout rules only when your operating model needs them.
Yes. A salon chain can share customer records while each branch manages its own services, prices, staff and permissions. A marketplace needs additional controls for independent providers, commissions, payouts and disputes. We confirm these requirements in the proposal.
We first check your point-of-sale (POS), customer relationship management (CRM) or booking system for API access, export options and licence restrictions. We then agree which system controls each record and how updates move between systems. If the vendor cannot support a live connection, we assess data migration instead.
We review a sample export, map the fields and check duplicate customer records. We also check future appointments, service durations, membership balances and the data you can lawfully transfer. Your team approves a trial import before we agree the final switch and a recovery plan. Migration requires a separate estimate unless the proposal includes it.
Yes. Every tier includes Android and iOS apps, a website/web interface and an admin panel. We agree the service pages, booking, customer accounts, invoices and staff tools that belong in the selected product scope. Your proposal records the screens and any staged launch plan.
Your team sets deposit amounts, cancellation deadlines, no-show rules and refund permissions. We connect those rules to booking and payment records. We test failed payments and repeated payment notifications so they do not create duplicate bookings or charges. Payment-provider capabilities and fees vary.
We can include reception-entered walk-ins in the same staff calendar as online bookings. A waitlist can notify eligible customers when a slot opens. Agree reminder timing, deposit rules, cancellation deadlines and a fair slot-claim process. These features require an agreed scope; they do not guarantee fewer no-shows.
We can assess service recommendations and augmented reality (AR) previews against your budget, supported devices and vendor licences. Agree customer consent and explain what the output can and cannot show. A virtual preview illustrates a product effect; it cannot guarantee a treatment result.
We agree who can access customer records, photos and location data. The technical scope can include secure sign-in, encrypted connections, access logs, backups and account deletion. We also define retention periods and consent controls with your team for the markets you serve.
The agreement defines ownership and handover. Confirm custom-code transfer, repository access, deployment instructions and control of your hosting and app-store accounts before development. Third-party tools and services keep their own licence terms.
Every tier includes post-launch support for the agreed scope. The proposal defines its period, covered tasks, support hours and response targets. We can investigate booking or payment issues and maintain the agreed integrations and mobile compatibility. Continued maintenance after the included period, hosting, third-party usage and new features need separate budgeting.
We can plan similar discovery, booking, professional and payment functions around your own brand and business model. We design an original product and do not copy proprietary code or content. These platforms serve as market references; Digittrix does not claim an affiliation with them.
We can assess an available reusable or licensed product before recommending it. Ask to see the working features and confirm customisation limits, source access, licence fees, hosting and upgrade responsibility. We recommend this route only when the available product fits your needs.
Yes. We first review the code, ownership, current defects, dependencies and deployment access. We then agree the priorities, team roles and delivery milestones for design, development, integration, testing or maintenance work.
Ask for a relevant working product, a clear feature list and a demonstration of booking and payment handling. Compare the platforms, testing, source-code ownership and support in each proposal. Use the same requirements when comparing prices, and ask how the team handles failed bookings and refunds.
Yes. We delivered the MadamG customer app, beautician app and admin panel. The case study shows real customer-app screenshots and a recorded walkthrough, with public listings for both mobile apps. The recording covers the customer app only; it does not show the beautician app or admin panel.
