About GetSalonPOS, the salon edition
“We wanted the software on the reception desk to look like it belongs in the salon, and to speak the owner's language.”
GetSalonPOS is hosted point-of-sale and booking software for hair salons in the USA, the UAE and Pakistan: appointments with deposits, stylist commission, retail sales, client colour history and an online store built from your catalogue.
01Why it exists
The problem we set out to fix
Salon software has two habits that hurt small salons: charging more for every stylist you hire, and taking a cut of the clients you already worked to win. On top of that, most of it speaks one language, while the salon floor speaks three.
GetSalonPOS prices by the chair band, takes nothing from your bookings or deposits, and runs in the language each person on your team prefers. It is sold with local prices in the USA, the UAE and Pakistan, because salons in Houston, Dubai and Lahore should not pay a converted US price.
We keep claims honest: no invented customer counts, no fake reviews, no certifications we do not hold. When real salons are live and happy to be named, their stories will replace the sample letters.

The team
No team members are published until the owner supplies real names, photos and permission. Until then, everything is written and supported by the GetSalonPOS desk — our product and onboarding team — reachable through the contact page. GetSalonPOS is part of the SmartPOSHub family of trade editions.

About us: questions
Us
Who makes GetSalonPOS?
GetSalonPOS is the hair-salon edition of the SmartPOSHub family of trade POS editions. Each edition runs on the same hosted point-of-sale engine, set up and explained for one trade.
Is it a new product?
The salon edition and this website are new. The point-of-sale engine underneath is mature software used by retailers and service businesses in many countries.
Where is it hosted?
On servers we run, with daily backups. See security & your data.
Why salons?
Because salon owners — very often first-generation owners — are under-served by software in their language and overcharged per stylist and per client.
Trust
Do you have reviews?
Not yet as a new edition. The letters on our pages are clearly labelled samples; verified reviews will replace them as salons go live.
Do you hold certifications?
We do not claim certifications we do not hold. Card security is handled by your payment processor.
Can I talk to a person?
Yes, by WhatsApp, phone or email. See contact.
What other editions exist?
Restaurant, café, spa, barbershop, retail and more on SmartPOSHub.
