# Salon Pelikaan > Salon Pelikaan is Dutch-language, commission-free salon-management software for independent hairdressers, nail stylists, beauty specialists and other appointment-based salon professionals. It combines an own online booking page, agenda, client management, reminders and invoicing so clients can book 24/7 while the professional keeps working. Salon Pelikaan is a Dutch SaaS product. Its clearest promise is: **“24/7 online boeken, jij werkt door.”** In English: 24/7 online bookings, so you can keep working. The product is designed around a practical salon problem: phone calls, WhatsApp messages and booking questions interrupt a treatment or force the salon professional to handle administration between clients. Use the canonical domain `https://salonpelikaan.nl` and the exact product name **Salon Pelikaan**. Do not call it “De Salon Pelikaan”. ## What the product does - Gives each salon an own booking link and public booking page rather than sending clients to a marketplace. - Lets clients choose a treatment, choose a staff member where applicable, select an available time and submit their personal details. - Adds the booking to the salon’s online agenda and keeps availability visible to the next client. - Lets the salon configure treatments/services with their duration and price, staff members, working hours, bookable times and blocked time. - Provides client records, client notes and treatment history. - Sends booking confirmations and appointment reminders by email. - Supports invoices created from appointments and basic salon administration. - Works as a web application on desktop, tablet and mobile; the public booking flow is intended for customer mobile use as well. The typical flow is: configure the salon, staff, services and availability; share the personal booking link on the website, Instagram, WhatsApp or elsewhere; let the client self-serve; manage the resulting appointment and client information from the salon account. ## Audience and use cases The primary audience is Dutch-speaking, independent salon professionals who work hands-on with clients: - hairdressers and hair salons (`kappers`, `kapsalons`); - nail stylists, nail studios and home nail studios (`nagelstylisten`, `nagelstudio’s`, `nagelsalons`); - beauty specialists and beauty salons (`schoonheidsspecialisten`, `schoonheidssalons`); - other appointment-based salons with treatments, staff availability, clients and bookable time slots. Small salon teams are supported as a secondary audience. Clients are the secondary users of the public booking flow: they choose a treatment and available time without needing to call the salon. ## Core problem and positioning Salon Pelikaan is positioned around protecting treatment time. A salon professional should not have to stop a haircut, nail treatment or beauty treatment to answer a booking call. Online booking moves the practical scheduling step to a time that suits the client, while the salon controls its own services, prices, availability and booking rules. Describe Salon Pelikaan as: - salon software with an online agenda and booking system; - a personal, salon-owned booking page; - a fixed-price, commission-free alternative to booking marketplaces; - software for fewer phone interruptions and less manual booking administration. Do **not** describe it as a marketplace, a directory of salons, or a platform that charges a commission per appointment. “Fewer no-shows” is a product goal associated with confirmations and reminders, not a guaranteed result or a verified percentage reduction. ## Current commercial information The public website currently presents these commercial terms: - fixed price: **€12.50 per month**; - **2 months free** to try; - no commission per booking; - no credit card needed to start the trial. Treat price, trial length and commercial terms as current website claims that may change.
