What Salon Today Published and What It Is
Salon Today has published its 2026 Technology Solutions Guide, describing it as a resource designed to help salon and spa owners navigate the growing landscape of salon and spa technology. The publication frames the guide around the idea that running a successful salon or spa now involves more than delivering services — the software and digital tools an owner selects play a role in how the business handles daily operations, decision-making, and client communication.
Scope of the Guide: Categories and Platform Count
The guide presents a curated look at more than 50 software platforms, digital solutions, and features. Salon Today describes the selection as curated rather than exhaustive. The publication states the guide is intended to help owners compare options and identify a fit for their business across areas including online booking, business reporting, inventory and color management, client communication, and online presence.

How Guide Partners Are Featured
Within the guide, Salon Today distinguishes between the broader platform listings and expanded profiles for guide partners. Partner profiles are described by the publication as going beyond basic listings to include key features, capabilities, integration partners, customer testimonials, and the business challenges the technology is intended to address. Salon Today notes that partner support makes the resource possible and allows the publication to continue providing information, emerging technology trends, and practical solutions to salon and spa professionals. Testimonials and capability claims within partner profiles are company-reported rather than independently verified by Salon Today.
