The Anginn OS appointment calendar showing one working day at a salon branch. Each stylist on shift has a column of their own across the top with their role under their name, and the hours of the day run down the left edge. Every booking sits in its stylist's column as a block giving the client, the service, the start and finish time, the price, and whether it was booked by phone or online.
Calendar — a full day across the teamA working day at the salon: every stylist has their own column, and every booking shows its service, its time and its price.

What no other salon system does

It does not just record the business. It grows it.

Every system on the market stores an appointment and prints a bill. These five have no equivalent anywhere else.

01 / 05

Win back lost business

The clients who stopped coming, ranked by what they are worth.

Every salon has a long tail of people who simply drifted. Most software will show you that list sorted by who lapsed longest, which puts your least valuable client at the top. Anginn opens on the one client worth calling today, and a short ranked list behind them — each with the reason, in plain words, so the person picking up the phone knows what to say.

The team opens to the single most valuable action of the day — not to a report.

The client list in Anginn OS. A row of counts across the top sorts every client into new, active, at risk and lapsed, and the table beneath gives each client's name, phone number, how many visits they have made, what they have spent, their membership if they hold one, and how long it has been since they were last in the salon.

02 / 05

Know what is coming

The only advisor that tells you when not to discount.

Every other system will happily help you run a festival sale in the busiest week of your year. This one tells you to protect that week and points the offer at the quiet days before it instead. It knows the festivals and the commercial dates years ahead, it knows what your own menu can carry, and roughly half the time its advice is to run nothing at all.

It will not propose a discount your menu cannot carry — and it says so rather than inventing a smaller number.

The growth advisor in Anginn OS. Three offers are running, each with the date it ends, how many days are left, how many have been used, how many remain available, and the code to type at the till. Below them the next festival is listed with the date and how many days away it is, and a card explaining how salons typically treat that festival and what to prepare.

03 / 05

Know your team

Whether your people are ready for the week you are about to have.

The software already knows your services, your prices and your week. It uses that to give every person on the floor a way to practise the conversations they actually have — an unhappy client, a price that is questioned, a colour that did not take — and an honest read on where each of them stands. There is a personal streak and deliberately no public leaderboard.

Training set in your own salon, not a generic course somebody bought in.

The staff performance report in Anginn OS. Every stylist is a row over the same month giving the revenue they brought in, the number of services they performed, their average bill, the cost of the product consumed doing the work, and the margin left after it.

04 / 05

The whole team, on their phones

Every stylist gets their own app.

Your team lives on their phones, and they should not have to queue at the desk terminal to see their own day. The Companion gives each person their own day, their own profile and their own numbers — and only ever theirs. They join by opening a link the salon sends them. There is nothing to set up and nothing to teach.

Each person sees their own day and nobody else's.

The Anginn OS client book open in a phone browser. A search box takes a name, phone number or email, with buttons to add a client or start a walk-in, and a row of filters for lead, new, active, at risk, lapsed, reactivated and dormant clients. Under it the book lists each client with their initials, their name and the lifecycle label the salon has them at, so the people who have stopped coming in can be found.

05 / 05

Your clients, looked after

They book themselves, and they keep their own receipts.

Clients book online in a few taps, at the times you can genuinely deliver. Their bill arrives as a link they can open on any phone, with no app to install and no account to create — and if they want their history, their memberships and their points, they can sign in and see exactly that, and nothing belonging to anyone else.

The customer copy opens with no app and no sign-in.

The customer's own copy of a salon bill, open in a phone browser. A Save as PDF button sits above a printed tax invoice giving the salon's name and address, the invoice number, the bill number, the date, the branch and the customer's name, then each service with its price, the subtotal, CGST and SGST, the total, and a line recording that it was paid by card.

Whose computer is your salon on?

Almost every salon system sold in India is a hosted platform. Zenoti, Fresha and DINGG are all built that way: the software runs on their servers, you pay to keep using it, and the appointment diary, the billing history and the client list you spent years building sit in their database. That is not a criticism. It is simply the business a platform is in, and it is the one thing about it that cannot be changed for you.

Anginn OS is the other shape. The salon runs its own instance on its own server, and every appointment, bill, stock movement and client record is written into a database that belongs to the salon. Not synced to us. Not mirrored to us. Written there, and only there.

So the question worth asking about salon software is not what it costs a month. It is what happens on the morning you decide to stop using it. On a platform that morning is a negotiation: exports, formats, notice periods, and a client list that has to be asked for. Here there is nothing to ask for. The data is already yours, on your machine, and walking away means keeping what you already have.

Nobody takes a cut of what you earn either — not on a booking, not on a bill, not on a card payment — because nobody is standing between you and your customer to take one.

Ownership is the argument. A Tuesday afternoon is the proof.

One client, start to finish

This is the loop a salon repeats forty times a day. Everything below happens in one system, typed once.

Each stylist on shift has a column of their own across the top with their role under their name, and the hours of the day run down the left edge.

Calendar — a full day across the teamA working day at the salon: every stylist has their own column, and every booking shows its service, its time and its price.

  1. She walks in

    The booking was made on Saturday and it is already against her record. The receptionist opens the day on the phone in her hand and sees who is due, with which stylist, for what — and the colour this client had in March, and the note the salon kept about her scalp. Nobody has to remember anything, and nobody has to ask her to repeat it.

  2. The bill is written

    Service done, the bill is raised against that appointment: the services rendered, the retail she picked up at the counter, a package redeemed, her membership rate applied, tax on top. It is written where the appointment already is, so the bill and the visit are one record and not two things to be matched up later.

  3. The payment is taken

    Payment is recorded against the bill as she pays it. The day's takings and this client's history are then the same entry seen from two sides — which is why nothing has to be reconciled at closing time, and why the branch total at eight o'clock is simply true rather than assembled.

  4. The bill reaches her phone

    It goes to her as a link. She opens it, reads what she was charged for, and saves it as a PDF if she wants it. No printer, no paper, and nobody at the counter asking her to spell out an email address while three people wait behind her.

  5. The shelf moves on its own

    The tube used on her comes out of back-bar stock and the bottle she bought comes off the retail shelf, because the bill already said both. Stock is not a separate evening job; it is the arithmetic of the day that was already typed once.

A bill being written on the Anginn OS sales screen. The client sits at the top of the bill with their membership, loyalty balance, credit balance and anything they still owe. Under it a service has been added with its quantity, the menu price and the discounted price it is actually being charged at, and a bill summary down the right side totals the subtotal, the discount, CGST and SGST into a grand total, with one button to take the payment.
Billing — a bill being writtenA bill open at the desk: the member rate comes off the menu price on its own, and the tax works itself out as you go.

Appointments, billing, memberships, packages, inventory, client records, reports and staff earnings are all the same system — which is the point. A diary next to a spreadsheet next to a calculator is four chances to lose the day's truth. This is one.

What an owner asks at eight o'clock

A receptionist needs today to go smoothly. An owner needs to know what today was. Those are different screens, and the second one is where most salon software goes quiet.

The Anginn OS reports screen set to the last thirty days across every branch. A chain pulse panel names the strongest branch, the most improved branch and the branch selling the most retail. Beneath it the period's revenue is set against the previous period, a doughnut chart splits that revenue between the branches, and a ranked list shows the staff who earned it with a bar and a figure against each name.
Owner — the last thirty daysThirty days of takings, the strongest branch, the most improved branch, and who earned it.

What each branch took

Today's takings, by branch, from the bills themselves rather than from a sheet somebody filled in at closing. An owner with three branches reads three numbers on the way home instead of ringing three managers.

What each stylist earned

Earnings and commission per staff member, worked out from the services they actually performed and the products they actually sold. A stylist can open their own figures on their own phone — and only ever their own. There is no ranking screen and no comparison against anybody else.

What is running out

Stock levels move with every service and every sale, so the shade that is nearly gone is visible while there is still time to order it, rather than on the morning the shelf is empty and a client is in the chair.

Who has not come back

The client list carries the last visit, so the people who used to come every six weeks and have not been in for four months can be found. That list is the salon's own property — the most valuable thing it owns — and it is why it sits in the salon's database rather than ours.

Who can see what

Reception can search clients and take a booking. A stylist sees their own work list and their own money — the client's name and the service in their chair, never a phone number, never a client profile, never a search. A book of clients cannot be quietly copied out of a system that never shows it.

One day's takings open on a phone. The date sits at the top with a line comparing the day against the same day last week, a row of branch filters runs under it, and a money moved panel gives the total collected and the number of bills it came from, then the split between online, card and cash payments, with tips listed separately and marked as not part of the salon's takings.
The day's takings, on a phoneThe owner checking the day from anywhere — what came in, and how it was paid.

None of that is worth much if the price of it changes every year.

What it costs

Free for one branch. One payment above that.

One branch

Free, permanently. Not a trial that expires, not a starter tier that stops letting you bill at the end of the month. A single salon can run its whole operation on Anginn OS and pay us nothing, for as long as it likes.

More than one branch

Priced by the number of branches, paid once. Adding a branch later is a one-time payment for that branch. The price is quoted before anything is installed and it does not change underneath you afterwards.

Never a subscription

There is no monthly fee to keep your own data readable, and no renewal date on which the diary stops opening. Software you have paid for keeps working.

Never a commission

Nothing is taken from a booking, a bill, a membership or a card payment. Every rupee a client hands you is yours, because we are not standing in the middle of that transaction.

What you do pay for

The server it runs on, rented from whichever provider you choose, and WhatsApp's own charges for the messages your salon sends. Both of those bills are yours and neither of them comes to us. We will tell you what they cost before you commit to anything.

What self-hosted means here

Each salon runs its own instance of Anginn OS on its own infrastructure, and the appointment diary, the bills, the stock and the client records live in that instance's database. Backups are taken from that server and are held by the salon.

ANGINN TECHNOLOGIES does not operate a central database of salon customers and does not receive copies of a salon's customer records. A salon's client list belongs to that salon, is not pooled with any other salon's, and is not used by ANGINN TECHNOLOGIES for any purpose of its own.

Installation and updates are done with the salon rather than by a self-serve installer — that is honest about where the product is today, and how an install actually starts is written out here.

If you searched for salon software in India

Most salon management software sold here is a subscription to somebody else's platform. Self-hosted salon software inverts that: the same appointments, the same salon billing software, the same membership and package tracking — installed on a server you control, with a salon POS that answers to you.

Anginn OS covers what a salon, spa or small clinic actually does in a day. Booking a client in over the phone. Seeing which stylist is free at four o'clock. Billing a colour service with two retail products and a package redemption on it. Knowing which shade is nearly out of stock before the shelf is empty. Paying staff on what they actually did. It is spa software and clinic software in the same sense — the diary, the bill and the client record are the same shape in all three.

It is built for how salons in India actually work: several branches under one owner, WhatsApp rather than email as the channel the customer reads, a receptionist on a phone rather than a workstation, and the desk busiest on the weekend. If you run a single salon, it costs nothing, permanently. If you run more than one branch, you pay once, by the number of branches.

WhatsApp Business Platform

Why Anginn OS uses WhatsApp

A salon booking is only useful if the customer turns up. In India, the channel a salon customer actually reads is WhatsApp — not email, and not SMS. Anginn OS therefore sends the salon's transactional messages over the WhatsApp Business Platform.

Messages go out from the salon's own WhatsApp Business number, which the salon connects to its own instance, to that salon's own customers, using approved message templates. They are not sent from a number belonging to ANGINN TECHNOLOGIES, and ANGINN TECHNOLOGIES does not message salon customers on its own behalf.

  1. Appointment confirmation

    Sent when a customer books. Confirms the service, the date and time, and the salon it is with — so the customer has the booking in writing on the channel they actually read.

  2. Appointment reminder

    Sent ahead of a booked appointment. Reminders are the single biggest lever a salon has against no-shows, which are the main cause of lost revenue in a chair-hours business.

  3. Bill and receipt link

    Sent after a service is billed. Gives the customer an itemised record of what they paid for, without printing and without the salon collecting an email address.

Every one of these relates to a transaction the customer has already entered into with that salon — a booking they made or a bill they were given. Anginn OS is not a marketing broadcast tool: it is not used to message people who are not customers of the salon, and it is not used with purchased or scraped lists.

A recipient can stop the messages at any time by replying to the conversation asking the salon to stop, by telling the salon directly, or by using WhatsApp's own controls to block the number. The salon is required to stop sending to anyone who has opted out.

Message content and recipient numbers stay in the salon's own instance. ANGINN TECHNOLOGIES does not read, store or receive a copy of them. The Privacy Policy sets this out in full at sections 7 to 9.

Questions

The five questions we are always asked

It is free forever for one branch — not a trial, not a limited tier that expires. A salon with more than one branch pays once, priced by the number of branches. There is no monthly subscription and no commission on anything the salon earns. The only recurring bill is the server it runs on, which the salon rents directly from its own provider.

In the salon's own database, on the salon's own server. Appointments, bills, stock and client records are written to that instance and nowhere else. ANGINN TECHNOLOGIES does not run a central database of salon customers and does not receive a copy of any salon's client list.

Yes, at any time, and nothing has to be negotiated to do it. The database is already on the salon's own server, so leaving means keeping what is already there. There is no lock-in period and no exit fee, because there is nothing of the salon's held on our side to release.

Yes. It is built for the phone in a receptionist's hand on a busy Saturday, not for a computer in a back office nobody has time to walk to. The same instance opens on a phone, a tablet or a desktop browser, and staff sign in with the Google account they already have — no passwords to write on a sticky note.

Anginn OS is a web application, so while the connection is down the desk cannot reach it. Nothing is lost: work is written to the salon's server as it happens, not held in the browser, so everything billed before the drop is already saved and is there when the connection returns. A phone hotspot is enough to carry the desk through a short outage.
