HelloNido for Salons
Built on HelloNido, live since October 2026

Suite and chair rent, without the spreadsheet.

One app for salon suite buildings and booth rental salons. Owners collect weekly rent, track licenses and book shared space. Pros pay in two taps, report issues and reach the front desk.

The demo runs on sample data for a fictional location, Bloom Suites. Nothing to install.

Why a salon version

Property software thinks in months. Salons run on weeks.

HelloNido already handles rent, maintenance, messaging and documents for landlords. The salon version keeps that engine and changes the three things that are different about chairs and suites.

Weekly rent is a real cycle

Charges post every Monday, reminders go out 3 days ahead, and autopay pulls on the due date. You pick which cycles to offer. Each agreement can be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, side by side at one location.

Two pros, one chair

A chair has seven day slots. One pro can hold Tuesday to Saturday and another Sunday and Monday, each with their own rate, charges and add-ons. The chair still counts once on your plan.

Licenses that don't lapse quietly

Every pro uploads their license and liability insurance with an expiration date. Reminders at 30 days, 7 days and the day of. Your dashboard shows who is current, expiring or expired.

Screens

Taken from the working demo

These are not mockups. Every screen below is live in the demo and responds to taps.

Open the demo

Two apps in one

What owners get. What pros get.

Owner or front desk

  • Spaces by type: suite, chair or room. Assign, move or release a pro.
  • Rent ledger with partial payments, cash recorded by hand, and reminders.
  • Rent settings: cycles you offer, who pays the online fee, deposits, key fee, late fee.
  • Add-ons: lockers, towel service, retail shelves, parking. Price frozen at assignment.
  • Shared resources: color bar, treatment room, education room. Instant or approval.
  • Compliance dashboard with document expiry.
  • Maintenance requests with salon categories, assignment and status.
  • Announcements, polls, messaging, trends and CSV exports.
  • Payouts straight to your bank through Stripe Connect.

Pro (stylist, barber, nail tech, lash or brow artist)

  • See rent due and pay by bank or card, with the total shown first.
  • Autopay. If a pull fails, one retry, then a pause and a one-tap resume.
  • Switch billing cycle if the owner allows it.
  • Book the color bar or treatment room by the slot.
  • Report an issue with photos and watch the status change.
  • Upload license and insurance, get reminded before they expire.
  • Request a locker or shelf. Nobody sees who holds what.
  • Opt-in pro directory with specialty, Instagram and booking link.
  • Message the front desk. Read receipts, office hours shown.

Not in scope

Client booking, commission payroll and retail POS. Pros already use Vagaro, GlossGenius, Square or Booksy for clients. The app links out to those instead of competing with them.

Questions

The ones that come up first

Can I mix weekly and monthly at the same location?

Yes. The cycle is set per rental agreement. Turn on the cycles you want to offer in Rent settings, set a default, and override it per space when you assign a pro.

How does a part-time chair count toward my plan?

A chair is one space whether one pro or two share it. Plans count physical spaces, not people. Sharing a chair never costs you a second slot.

Who pays the online payment fee?

Your choice: the pro, you, or split. Pros always see the dollar amount before they confirm. Bank transfers are priced well below card on purpose, so most pros pick bank.

Do you handle deposits and move-in fees?

Yes. Turn on a security deposit (one, two or four weeks) and a key or door-code fee. Both show on the agreement and are collected at move-in.

What happens when a license expires?

The pro and the owner both get reminders at 30 days, 7 days and the day of. After that the pro shows as Expired on your compliance screen. Whether that blocks anything is a setting, not a rule.

Does this replace my booking app?

No. Pros keep Vagaro, GlossGenius, Square or whatever they use for clients. This app is for the rent, the building and the relationship between you and your pros.
