Off-the-shelf booking software doesn't fit your chain, your franchise, or your brand? We build what you actually need — from small add-ons on top of Sicus Booking to full standalone platforms. Fixed-scope proposals, weekly demos, bilingual EN/VI baked in. We stay in the salon-tech lane — that's where we know what we're doing.
Custom salon software isn't for every salon — most independent owners should use Sicus Booking or White-Label Salon App instead. Custom builds make sense when:
If you're not sure whether custom is the right call, start with the discovery call — we will tell you honestly whether Sicus Booking or White-Label is a better fit for your situation.
Representative project types — not an exhaustive list. If your need is salon-tech adjacent and we have the domain knowledge, we'll scope it.
One-screen roll-ups across all your locations — bookings, revenue, staff utilization, waitlists, AI receptionist performance. Drill down by location, by week, by technician. Built on top of Sicus Booking for chains of 3-20 locations.
Automatic royalty calculation from booking revenue, configurable fee structures per franchisee, monthly royalty statements, and a franchisor portal that aggregates across every location in the network. The hard parts (data consistency, fee disputes, reporting) are where custom pays off.
Membership tiers with unique benefits, referral tracking with automatic credit, bespoke gift card mechanics, points systems tied to your specific services — the kind of loyalty mechanics you can't configure in an off-the-shelf product.
Fully custom iOS and Android apps — not a white-label reskin. Built for salon brands with specific design requirements, unique workflows, or features that don't exist anywhere else. We handle the full iOS/Android engineering, App Store submission, and ongoing updates.
Bidirectional sync between Sicus Booking (or your existing booking platform) and your POS, accounting software, or payroll system. Revenue data flows to QuickBooks or Xero automatically. Tips and commissions land in payroll. No more double entry.
Your own AI trained on your salon's data — service recommendation engines, custom upsell logic, predictive no-show scoring, automated rebooking campaigns. We use the same AI infrastructure that powers Sicus Booking, tuned to your specific business.
Fixed-scope proposals, weekly demos, no 3-month black box.
Tell us about your salon, your goals, and the problem you're trying to solve. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and give you an honest read on whether custom is the right approach or whether Sicus Booking or White-Label would serve you better. No pitch.
If the discovery call shows a fit, we run a paid requirements workshop where we dig deep: user flows, data models, integrations, edge cases, and the questions you haven't thought to ask yet. Output is a detailed scope document and a fixed-price proposal. The workshop fee is credited toward the build if you move forward.
You get a written proposal with line-item breakdown, timeline, milestones, acceptance criteria, and the ownership terms. Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprise overages. If you want changes after the proposal is signed, we quote them separately and you decide whether to add them.
We build in 1-week sprints and you see a live demo every Friday — not a progress report, an actual clickable product. You spot issues early, we adjust early, and the end result matches what you actually want. No "we'll show you in 3 months."
We deploy to production, run a launch period with you monitoring alongside us, and hand off documentation. From there you can either take the code in-house (if you own it) or keep us on a monthly retainer for maintenance, bug fixes, and feature iteration. Retainer is optional — no commitment.
We focus on salon-tech projects: multi-location dashboards, franchise royalty systems, custom loyalty mechanics, POS/accounting integrations, bespoke mobile apps, white-label customizations beyond standard branding, and AI features trained on your salon's data. We stay in the salon software lane — that's where we have the domain knowledge. Outside of salon tech (general e-commerce, unrelated SaaS, hardware), we'll tell you honestly during the discovery call that we're not the right fit.
Typical timelines: 2-4 weeks for small features or integrations on top of Sicus Booking; 6-12 weeks for mid-size projects (multi-location dashboards, custom loyalty, franchise reporting); 12-24 weeks for full custom builds (bespoke mobile apps, franchise platforms). Locked in the proposal stage — you see weekly demos, so no 3-month black box.
Yes — two paths: (1) If a branded version of Sicus Booking is enough, our White-Label Salon App service ships in 2-4 weeks at a fraction of the cost. (2) If you need a truly custom app with workflows or features Sicus Booking doesn't offer, that's a Custom Salon Software project and we scope it during the discovery call.
Depends on the project. Fully standalone software (separate codebase, your infrastructure): you own the code and we hand it off with documentation at the end. Built on top of Sicus Booking core: the core remains ours but you own the custom layer we build, and you have a perpetual license to use it. We explain the ownership model clearly in the written proposal before any work starts.
Book a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll listen, ask questions, and give you an honest read on whether custom is the right approach — or whether Sicus Booking or White-Label would serve you better. No pitch.
