What Is Tanning Salon Software?
Tanning salon software is a digital management platform that helps tanning salon owners streamline daily operations — including session scheduling for sunbed slots and spray tan bookings, billing, client records, staff attendance, inventory tracking, and marketing automation. Many tanning salons still rely on paper registers and manual record-keeping for UV session tracking; software like SalonBoost digitises these workflows to save time and prevent double-bookings. SalonBoost is tanning salon software with fast digital invoicing, card payment support, and built-in automated reminders for sessions, receipt dispatch, and promotional campaigns. Trusted by 500+ salons worldwide with a 4.9/5 rating on Capterra (19 verified reviews), SalonBoost starts at $19/month with no setup fees or booking commissions.

Why Tanning Salons Choose SalonBoost

How Does Tanning Salon Software Reduce No-Shows?
SalonBoost sends automated reminders by text and email 24 hours and 2 hours before each tanning session at your salon. For tanning salons with limited sunbed slots and fixed session windows, a no-show means an empty bed generating zero revenue for that time block, so cutting no-shows directly protects revenue. SalonBoost's follow-up system also sends automated win-back messages to clients who haven't visited in 30, 60, or 90 days — re-engaging lapsed tanners with package renewal offers and seasonal promotions. The system tracks each client's tanning history, making it easy to recommend follow-up sessions at optimal intervals for maintaining their desired tan level. Combined with online booking and calendar sync, tanning salon owners report significantly fewer empty slots and more consistent daily utilisation.
How Much Does Tanning Salon Software Cost?
Tanning salon software ranges from free (with per-booking commissions) to $150+/month for enterprise solutions. SalonBoost offers two flat-priced plans: Standard at $19/month (includes session booking, billing, inventory, and staff management) and Premium at $29/month (adds marketing automation and payroll). There are no setup fees, no per-transaction charges, and no commission on bookings — unlike Fresha, which charges 20% per online booking, a real cost on any tanning package. For tanning salons running multiple sunbeds and processing 20-40 sessions daily, SalonBoost pays for itself within the first week through time saved on manual scheduling and missed-session recovery, and every plan includes a 15-day free trial with no credit card required. View full plan details, including sunbed and room-based scheduling built for multi-bed salons, on our pricing page.
What Makes SalonBoost Different from Other Tanning Salon Software?
SalonBoost keeps pricing flat and transparent — no per-booking commission, no paid add-ons to unlock features — and automates client communication with text and email for everything from session confirmations to skin-prep tips and package renewal reminders. The platform is mobile-first, meaning salon owners can manage sunbed schedules and spray tan bookings from their phone without needing a desktop computer. Staff attendance is auto-captured from billing activity, eliminating biometric machines. Every invoice triggers an automatic Google Review request, helping tanning salons build online reputation effortlessly instead of relying on word of mouth alone. With a community of 500+ salons worldwide, SalonBoost understands the tanning salon workflow end to end, from walk-in spray tans to package renewals. See how we compare to other salon software.

How SalonBoost Handles Tanning-Specific Workflows
Tanning salons have a different operational rhythm from hair or beauty salons — fixed session windows, equipment-based capacity, and package memberships. SalonBoost is built for exactly that.
Sunbed & Equipment Slot Booking
Each tanning bed or spray booth is treated as a bookable resource in SalonBoost. When a client books a session, the specific bed or booth is reserved for that time window — preventing double-bookings and giving your front desk a real-time view of which equipment is occupied. Walk-in clients can see available slots instantly. Session duration is set per service (e.g., 10-minute UV session vs 30-minute spray tan), and the calendar automatically blocks the correct window including any turnaround time between clients.
Tanning Package & Membership Tracking
Tanning clients often buy session packs (5, 10, or 20 sessions) or monthly unlimited memberships. SalonBoost tracks the remaining balance on each package in the client's profile. When they check in, your staff can see at a glance how many sessions remain — no paper punch cards, no manual count. When a package runs out, SalonBoost automatically sends a renewal reminder by text or email, making package re-purchases seamless. Monthly memberships renew automatically and generate an invoice each cycle.
Client Tanning History & Skin Notes
Safe tanning practice requires knowing each client's exposure history and skin type. SalonBoost stores tanning visit history, skin type notes (Fitzpatrick scale), previous UV exposure, any sensitivities, and the products used in each session — all linked to the client profile. This means every staff member who checks in a client can see their complete history before the session starts. Post-session, SalonBoost automatically sends aftercare instructions by text or email, including tan maintenance tips and recommended return intervals to protect skin health.
