Booth Renters & Independents Software
What Software Do Booth Renters Use?
Most use a solo plan: StyleSeat ($35 a month, or a $19 new-pro offer), GlossGenius Standard ($28) or SQUIRE Independent for barbers ($30). Salon owners renting chairs can use GlossGenius's separate bank accounts for booth renters, SQUIRE's rent collection or SalonScale to charge renters for color.
Booth renters run their own business inside someone else's salon. They need their own booking, payments and client list, separate from the owner's. Owners need to collect rent and keep the renters' money and records apart.

What to Look For
- Your own client list you can take with you
- Payouts to your own bank account
- Rent collection for salon owners
- A low solo price without per-team features you will not use
Risks to Check
- Whether a renter is truly independent is a legal question, not a software setting
- Shared salon accounts can blur who owns the client list
- Marketplace fees apply to new clients the app sends
Questions to Ask a Vendor
- Who owns the client data if I leave the salon?
- Can rent be collected automatically?
- Are payouts separate from the salon owner's?
