Everything in the box

Purpose-built for tanning — not a spa app with a tanning tab.

Every feature exists because a tanning salon needs it: exposure schedules, cooldown rules, bed hardware, EFT memberships, consent law.

Live floor board

Every bed at a glance — available, in session with countdown, sanitizing, out of service. Start, stop, and set times without leaving the desk.

Direct bed control

Native integration with IntelliTan and T-Max controller buses. Session timers, pre-tan delays, and max exposure caps are enforced by the hardware, not a sticky note.

POS, packages & memberships

Sell sessions, packs, lotions, and recurring memberships with EFT drafts. Loyalty points, coupons, and gift cards included — one checkout for all of it.

Compliance built in

Digital consent forms with e-signature, 12-month validity, and version tracking. The 24-hour UV rule and skin-type exposure limits are enforced automatically.

Member app

Members check in from their phone, join the waitlist before they arrive, sign forms, and pay — Apple Pay, Google Pay, or the card on file.

Reports & multi-location

Daily close-out, membership churn, bed utilization, and revenue by service — per salon or across every location, from anywhere.

Built for the real world

The internet goes down. Your salon doesn't.

SalonForge runs on your front-desk PC and talks to your beds over local wiring — the cloud is a companion, not a requirement. If your connection drops, you keep starting sessions, selling packages, and taking card payments for up to 48 hours.

  • Beds keep firingBed control is local — no round trip to a server to start a lamp.
  • Sales queue up safelyEvery transaction syncs to the cloud when you're back online — exactly once, never duplicated.
  • 48-hour offline graceA signed license lease keeps the desk fully operational through a two-day outage.

The member app

Your members skip the line — and the clipboard.

The SalonForge member app turns every phone into a front desk. Members see the live bed board, join the waitlist before they leave the house, and get a push notification the moment their bed is ready.

  • Self check-in in four tapsPick a bed, confirm the consent, choose payment, done.
  • Remote waitlist with held spots15-minute hold after their bed is called, with a "running late" extension.
  • Consents signed on-screenFinger-drawn e-signature, emailed copy, expiry reminders before renewal is due.
  • Wallet that sells for youPackages, upgrades, and spray credits — bought in the app before they reach the bed.

Payments

One Stripe account. Every way your members pay.

Card-present at the counter on a Stripe smart reader, EFT drafts for memberships, and in-app checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay. A card saved at the desk works in the app — and vice versa — because it's one customer record end to end.

  • Tap-to-pay at the deskStripe Terminal smart readers, tips and receipts included.
  • Card on file, done rightCards are tokenized with Stripe — your salon never touches a card number.
  • Recurring membershipsAutomated drafts with retry logic, dunning, and self-serve management in the app.

FAQ

Questions salon owners ask us.

SalonForge speaks the IntelliTan and T-Max controller protocols used by the vast majority of UV equipment. If your beds run on either bus, we control them natively — timers, delays, and exposure caps included. Tell us your equipment list during the demo and we'll confirm compatibility on the spot.

Nothing, for up to 48 hours. Bed control is local to your front-desk PC, so sessions keep running, and sales queue up and sync to the cloud automatically when the connection returns — each exactly once, never duplicated.

Each signature is captured with the exact form version, timestamp, and required acknowledgments, stored on the member's account with a copy emailed to them. When you update a form's wording, prior signatures are invalidated and members re-sign — the re-consent flow regulators expect. State-specific rules (like minor restrictions) are configurable per location.

No — it removes the busywork from it. Your staff still owns the floor: the desk sees app check-ins in the same waitlist, calls the next member, and can override anything. Phones never start a bed directly; the desk and the hardware stay in charge.

We import your members, packages, and remaining balances, and run onboarding with your staff before go-live. Most single-location salons switch over in under a week, with the old system kept read-only as a safety net.
