The software journey

How did Computill, iSalon and Salon Manager develop?

Computill

Computill began in 1993 with a simple purpose: bring appointments, client records and daily salon activity into one dependable salon software system. It laid the foundations for the generations that followed.

Why the history matters today

How does 30 years of salon experience help your business?

Salon Manager has been shaped by first-hand experience behind the chair, running a salon and spending years helping customers use software with confidence. That experience still guides what we build and how we support every business.

Onboarding shaped by salon experience

Your setup is guided by people who understand the pressure behind a full diary, a busy team and a client waiting at reception.

A team that keeps listening

Years spent training customers and hearing their challenges continue to influence the platform, the onboarding and the support we provide.

Easy to learn. Easy to use.

A typical initial training session takes around one hour to get a new customer up to speed with the core system. That simplicity is intentional.

What does that experience bring to Salon Manager today?

The tools have changed, but the focus remains practical: help salon owners manage appointments, look after clients and understand the business. Explore Salon Manager Online to see how the current platform brings those daily tasks together.

Bookings and client care, connected

Use salon booking software to let clients choose available appointments online. A connected salon CRM keeps preferences, visit history, formulas and completed consultation forms with the right client record.

Control for one salon or a growing group

Our salon software for groups connects local diaries with shared client records, stock and reporting. Permissions help each team reach the information appropriate to its role.

New ways to help a busy team

The AI salon receptionist uses live diary availability to help clients book, check, move or cancel appointments by phone. It can provide cover when your team is busy or the salon is closed. Availability depends on your setup.
