What Makes a No.1 Salon Software?
Every platform claims to be number one. Rather than shout louder, here's our case in plain terms: LightDay is the only UK platform we know of combining real-time contraindication checking, one-click CQC compliance and free AI lead generation in a single flat-rate subscription — because it was built inside a real salon and a real clinic.
£59.99/month for salons, £69.99/month for clinics — everything included
Judge software by what's included, not promised
The honest test of any 'number one' claim is what you get at the base price. With LightDay, the base price is the only price: contraindication engine, CQC packs, Spark AI, online booking, SMS campaigns, ProfitLens reporting, Klarna & Clearpay — all included from day one. No tiers, no per-user fees, no surprise add-ons.
Built from real industry experience
LightDay's founders own and operate both a hair salon and an aesthetics clinic. Every feature exists because it solved a real problem in a real business first — which is why the product feels like it was built by someone who's stood behind a chair, because it was.
