Solo is the smart, stress-free salon booking system built for self-employed beauty professionals. From online bookings to automated reminders and a custom website, Solo helps you manage your business and clients effortlessly.
If you’ve ever wished your business systems were a bit easier, a bit calmer, and a whole lot smarter, then allow us to introduce you to our new partner. Solo is the all-in-one beauty salon booking system and business tool designed for self-employed beauty professionals just like you.
Whether you’re juggling a packed diary, trying to stay on top of admin between clients, or just want something that actually works for your freelance life, Solo actually understands what it’s like to run a small beauty business.
Solo was created with self-employed beauty, hair and wellness pros in mind. Rather than a generic salon software made for huge teams and salons, Solo gets the realities of being a one-person show. From the constant DMs and the diary in your phone’s notes app, to the double bookings and the paperwork that never ends, this business and booking system is here to make your load lighter.
With Solo you get:
- A booking system that syncs with an all-in-one calendar
- Online bookings clients can make 24/7
- Digital consultation forms
- Multiple locations or mobile setups if you’re on the go
- Easy client management
- Automated reminders and payment options
- And even your own professional website to promote your brand in a way that represents you and not a generic big brand.
Clients can see your availability live, book themselves in and even pay deposits or full amounts online, meaning you spend less time replying to messages and more time doing what you love.
One of Solo’s stand-out features is the ability to create a customisable, Google-optimised website in minutes, no tech skills required. Your Solo site can show your treatments, prices, availability and more — and clients can book straight from it.
The best part? Solo helps you get found on Google with built-in work to boost visibility — something a lot of techs don’t think about until months into business. And because Solo works with automated SMS and email reminders, you’re reducing no-shows without lifting a finger.
If you’ve ever felt like other booking tools are clunky, expensive, or simply not built for freelancers, Solo is a breath of fresh air. It breaks down business admin into something manageable and even enjoyable. Plus, Solo offers migration support, meaning if you’re switching from another system, they’ll help move your data across so nothing gets lost.
It’s not just about bookings — it’s about putting you in control of your brand, your calendar and your income.
At TGB Academy, we’re all about education that empowers you. We want you not only to be an exceptional nail tech, but also to feel confident in running a business that supports the lifestyle you choose. Partnering with Solo makes sense because it gives you tools that work for you, not the other way around.
We love recommending systems that help techs:
- Reduce admin time
- Manage bookings like a pro
- Get more clients through search and automation
- Run a business without the overwhelm
Running your own nail business can be incredibly rewarding, but only when your systems work with you. Solo gives you the foundations to take control of your bookings, your brand and your time, all while helping you look and feel professional from day one.
If you’ve been waiting for a salon booking system that’s simple, powerful and genuinely built for the self-employed, this might be the one you’ve been waiting for.
