Try ParlourDesk

Your own full copy of ParlourDesk, with made-up people and money. You sign in with your OwnApp ID. Nothing it sends reaches anyone. It’s deleted a day after your last visit, and three days after you start it at the latest.

It opens as a business in India. You can also try it in the United Kingdom.

What it’s for

Beds and chairs

Threading, waxing and facials booked on beds and chairs, with several beauticians on one visit.

Bridal work

Bridal work quoted per event, and paid in stages up to the day.

Family wallets

One wallet a family shares, and packs of services where your country’s rules for them are known.

Patch tests

A patch-test record where a treatment needs one.

Flat prices, quick bills

Flat prices, and split payment by cash or card (and UPI in India).

Planned for its first version: none of this is built yet. Made first for beauty parlours in India and the UK; elsewhere it runs on a basic country pack where you enter your own tax rates. Its spec is still being written, so this may change.

What you get

The source code

Every file of ParlourDesk and OwnApp's core, as a signed release.

A licence

For one legal business, in the country you pick.

Updates

Every release for 12 months, then 20% of the price a year if you want more.

Hosted, or yours

At yourname.ownapp.live, or on your own server.

Price

US$399.00

One price in US dollars, the same in every country. You pay once.

Updates after the first 12 months: 20% of the price a year, if you want them.

How pricing works

Run more than one trade?

Add another salon app to your copy at half its price. This can’t be bought yet.

Your first salon app will be at its full price. Each one you add after it, such as Strand, NextChair, NailDesk and LashLoop, will switch on in the same copy, under one licence and one set of updates for every app you bought.

Where it works

Open in 208 countries on a basic country pack: currency, dates and formats are built in, and you enter your own tax rates. No country's pack has been checked by a tax adviser yet.

In India it is open for a business with turnover below ₹5 crore, which you declare when you set it up.
