Salonist API
Salonist has no developer portal or public API reference. API access and custom integrations are sold only on the $179 per month Expert plan and scoped by the vendor case by case, so integration today means a sales conversation, not documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Salonist scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. Salonist has no developer portal or public API reference. API access and custom integrations are sold only on the $179 per month Expert plan and scoped by the vendor case by case, so integration today means a sales conversation, not documentation.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Salonist is a cloud-based salon and spa management suite covering online booking, calendar, point of sale, inventory, staff payroll and commissions, memberships, loyalty, and email, SMS and WhatsApp marketing.
Fitness & Wellness: beauty and wellness services. Front desk staff book appointments from the calendar or accept them from the online booking page, Instagram and Reserve with Google, check clients out through the POS with card terminals or regional wallets, and track retail stock.
A mid-tail vendor by North American standards. Vendor claims 15,000+ salons; GetLatka estimates about 12,000 customers and $3.4M ARR; review volume is thin (21 Trustpilot reviews, 24 on Software Finder) and web traffic skews to India, Nigeria, the UAE and Qatar (LinkedIn data).
Client profiles with contact details, appointment history, notes and before-and-after photos (PII), consultation and consent forms (health-adjacent data for aesthetics clinics), staff records, commissions and payroll, sales transactions, card-on-file tokens via Stripe and regional gateways (PCI scope sits with the processors), inventory and purchase orders, membership and e-wallet balances, and marketing consent lists.
Founded 2017, cloud-native from the start, web plus native customer apps, CloudFront-hosted assets, 13 languages. There is no public API versioning to assess because no API surface is published.
A reviewer asked for a WhatsApp API to message customers directly, indicating integration gaps are handled by feature requests rather than by an open API. Customers report unanswered support tickets, inability to cancel, and continued billing after cancellation with refunds promised but not delivered. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Fresha, Vagaro, Booksy, Zenoti, DaySmart Salon, Mindbody. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official Salonist MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Salonist doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
