Anginn OS · for salon owners in India

Free for one salon. On your server. No commission.

The receptionist opens the day on her phone. The bill is written on the appointment. The shelf comes down on its own. One system, on a machine rented in your name, with no monthly fee to keep it open.

Free forever for one branch · Never a subscription, never a commission · Your own database, your own backups

Shipped · in early deployment

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.

All of this, on one branch, free.

Evidence

This is the software, on a Thursday afternoon.

Not a mock-up and not a drawing. Every screen on this page is a frame of Anginn OS running, on our own demo salon.

A close view of the Anginn OS appointment calendar. Several stylists head their own columns with their role under their name, and the hours of the day run down the left edge. In one column a gel extensions booking gives the client, the time it starts and finishes, its price, the client's phone number, that it was booked by the owner and that it came in by phone, and is marked booked. A second booking below it repeats the same detail for a scalp treatment.
The day, stylist by stylistEvery stylist has a column of their own, and every booking carries its service, its time, its price and how it came in.
  1. 01A stylist's own column, with the role they are booked for set under their name — a colour specialist and a barber are not the same slot.
  2. 02The price sits on the booking, before any bill exists. Nobody is looking it up on a menu card while a client waits.
  3. 03How it came in is recorded on it — booked by phone, booked online, taken by the owner.

What it costs to rent

What a hosted platform costs you

Almost every salon system sold in India runs on somebody else's servers and bills you to keep using it. That is not a criticism — it is the business a platform is in. These are the three things it costs.

The bill goes up. The software doesn't.

A subscription is rent on your own work. It renews whether the month was busy or empty, it is repriced the day you open a second branch, and the morning you stop paying is the morning the diary stops opening.

They take a cut of your own regular.

When the software stands between you and your customer it can charge for standing there — on a booking she would have made anyway, from a client who has been coming to you for four years.

The client list is on their computer.

Every name, number, colour formula and last-visit date. It is the most valuable thing the salon owns, and asking for it back on the way out turns into exports, formats and notice periods.

Your server. Your database. Your client list.

Shown, not described

Four things you will use before lunch.

Appointments, billing, memberships, packages, stock, client records and staff earnings are one system rather than four.

However she wants to pay

Every method an Indian salon actually takes, including the one most software files under “other”. Part payment is a first-class option rather than a workaround, and a tip never inflates the day’s revenue so the figure you reconcile at close is the salon’s own money and nobody has to explain the difference.

The Anginn OS checkout panel open on a draft bill. The balance due is shown at the top, with a line offering to add GST details for a business bill. Below it the payment can be taken in full or as a part payment, and the method is chosen between cash, card, UPI and online. A tip field and an optional reference field follow, then a Pay later button that closes the bill and records what the customer still owes, and a single button at the foot to take the payment for the full amount.
Taking the moneyCash, card, UPI or online — in full or in part, with the tip kept out of the salon's takings.
  1. 01Part payment takes what she has now and records the rest against her, rather than leaving a bill open and unexplained.
  2. 02UPI is its own method beside cash and card — not something filed under “other”, which is what software written elsewhere tends to do with it.
  3. 03The tip is entered here and held out of the salon's takings, so the day's revenue is the salon's own money.

What the desk knows before she has sat down

This is the difference between a desk that processes a customer and a desk that recognises her. Every fact on this screen was already somewhere in your own records; the software’s only contribution is putting it where somebody standing up, with a queue, can read it in two seconds.

A client's record in Anginn OS. Her name, phone number and the date she became a client sit at the top with buttons to book, rebook her last service or start a bill. A row of cards gives her membership plan, package balance, credit balance, amount due and loyalty tier with a points total, then her preferred stylist, her last visit and how long ago it was, her next appointment and her birthday. Below, a worth-a-look panel lists what the salon should know today: that she is a Gold VIP with a lifetime spend over fourteen visits, that she has points available to redeem against today's bill, and that her last visit was seventeen days ago against a habit of visiting every forty-five days.
What the desk knows before she sits downHer membership, her points, her stylist and her last visit — and the salon's own note about when she is due back.

Who has stopped coming in

The list that quietly decides whether this year is better than last one. The book sorts itself into who is still coming and who has drifted, so nobody has to remember to check and it sits in your database rather than ours, which is the whole argument on this page made into a screen.

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.
The client book, on a phoneLooking somebody up between chairs — and seeing who has stopped coming in.

The day, wherever you are

You should be able to close the salon without standing in it. The day against the same day last week, the split by how people actually paid, and the tips held out of the total on the phone that is already in your pocket, with nothing to install.

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.

The long version of how it works is here.

The fastest way to know whether it fits your salon is to watch somebody drive it against how you already work.

What it costs

Free for one branch. One payment above that.

No figure is quoted on this page because none is invented. What you would pay, and what you would never pay us, is set out in full.

One branch — free, permanently

Not a trial that expires, and not a starter tier that stops letting you bill at the end of the month. One salon can run everything on Anginn OS and pay us nothing.

More branches — one payment, by branch

Quoted before anything is installed, paid once, and it does not move afterwards. A branch opened later is a one-time payment for that branch.

What you do pay for

The server, rented in your own name from a provider you choose, and WhatsApp's own charges for the messages your salon sends. Both bills are yours. Neither comes to us.

And then the part nobody else has

It does not just run the salon. It grows it.

Free software that only stored appointments would still be worth having. These five are the reason salons keep it — and there is no equivalent to them anywhere on this market.

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.

Straight answers

The four things owners ask before they commit.

The desk cannot open it while the line is down — it runs in a browser. Nothing is lost: everything billed before the drop is already written to your server. A phone hotspot covers a short outage.

It is built for a receptionist on a busy Saturday, in plain words. They sign in with the Google account they already have — nothing to write on a sticky note. We set it up with you and walk your desk through it.

You keep everything. The database is already on your server, so there is nothing to ask us for. No lock-in period, no exit fee.

Shipped, and in early deployment with its first salon installations. Every screen on this page is the running product. There is no self-serve installer yet — an install is set up with you — and this page will say so on the day that changes.

Book a demo

See it on your own salon's numbers.

We open the software, walk it against how you work now, and tell you honestly if it does not suit you. Leave four details, or start a WhatsApp conversation — both reach the same person.

Ask for a demo

Four fields, and a person replies. Your number is used to answer you and nothing else — no mailing list, and it is not passed on.

Or just message us

WhatsApp is how most salons in India would rather talk to a supplier, so it is a real path here and not a fallback. Ask the price for your number of branches, or ask to see a screen.
