Salon software for the UAE, VAT included, WhatsApp first

UAE salons serve clients from dozens of countries with teams that speak just as many languages. Ladies' salons and gents' salons are usually separate businesses, bookings arrive on WhatsApp, and every receipt must handle 5% VAT correctly. GetSalonPOS prices in dirhams with VAT included and runs the desk in Arabic, English, Urdu, Tagalog and more.

WhatsApp is the booking line

Most clients message rather than call; share the booking link in WhatsApp Business replies.

Separate ladies' and gents' salons

Often two licences and two locations under one owner: one account, two locations.

Wedding season and the days before Eid are the busiest; deposits and group bookings matter.

Salon software in United Arab Emirates: questions

Tax & money

Are UAE prices shown with VAT?

Can receipts show my TRN?

Can I take bookings from WhatsApp?

Share your booking link in WhatsApp replies, or record bookings made in chat at the desk.

Running it

Do you support Apple Pay?

Apple Pay works through your acquirer or terminal; the sale records the method.

Can I run a ladies' and a gents' salon?

How much is it in the UAE?

See pricing with the UAE selected; the Salon plan is the most common.
