> CRM для маникюрного салона без комиссии за записи. Расписание, клиенты, касса, отчёты, склад в одной системе. €39/мес для одного салона, €79/мес для студии, €1,490 one-time для self-hosted версии. Альтернатива Treatwell для DACH и русскоязычных салонов.

SalonCRM is a commission-free CRM for nail salons, built by Kamala Studio (Vienna, Austria) as an alternative to Treatwell.

## What it does

- **Schedule management** — appointment booking, calendar sync, customer self-booking widget
- **Client database** — contact history, preferences, loyalty tracking
- **POS / cash register** — Austrian / German tax-compliant receipts
- **Inventory** — product stock, supplier orders, low-stock alerts
- **Reporting** — revenue, busiest hours, top customers, technicians performance
- **Multi-language UI** — Russian, German, English

## Pricing

| Tier | Price | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Salon | €39 / month | Single salon, up to 3 technicians |
| Studio Pro | €79 / month | Multi-technician studio with reports + inventory |
| Owned | €1,490 one-time | Self-hosted, no recurring fee |

No commission per booking (Treatwell takes 15%+). No setup fee. Demo available with credentials at /demo.

## Why salons switch from Treatwell

- Treatwell charges 15-25% per booking — adds up to €1,500-3,000/month for a busy salon
- Treatwell owns the customer relationship — they email your customers about competitors
- Treatwell data sits on their servers — switching off means losing booking history

SalonCRM removes all three: flat monthly fee, your customer data stays yours, fully exportable.

## Who builds it

**Kamala Studio** — Vienna-based. Built by Elshan Musayev (founder of EKM Global Consulting GmbH). The product evolved from running an actual nail salon (Kamala Studio at kamalastudio.at) and needing a tool that doesn't take a cut of every booking.

## Target buyers

- Independent nail salons in DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
- Russian-speaking salon owners (Vienna has large CIS expat community)
- Studios paying €1,500+/month to Treatwell wanting to switch
- New salons opening in 2026 wanting commission-free from day one

## Comparison vs alternatives

- **Treatwell** — marketplace + booking, 15%+ commission per booking. SalonCRM = no commission, you own customer
- **Salonized** — €30-65/month, EU-focused, no German tax compliance for AT salons
- **Booksy** — global marketplace, 25% commission on new customers
- **Phorest** — €70-100/month, larger chains
- **Fresha** — "free" but takes 20% commission on app bookings

SalonCRM positions as the lowest-cost commission-free option with multi-language EU compliance.
