Why Klippa
Klippa is salon booking and management software made in Australia for hair, beauty and barber businesses. This page explains, in plain terms, what Klippa does, who it suits, how it's different, and what it costs.
What is Klippa?
Klippa is an all-in-one salon platform for Australian hair, beauty and barber businesses. It combines 24/7 online booking, a drag-and-drop calendar, a client CRM (with colour formulas, notes and photos), payments and POS, automated SMS and email reminders, staff rostering and commissions, and reporting — in one system.
It also offers AnswR, an optional AI phone receptionist that answers calls around the clock, checks real-time availability, books appointments directly into the calendar and sends SMS confirmations.
Who is Klippa for?
Klippa suits everything from a solo hairstylist or barber to multi-location salons and day spas across Australia. There's a free-forever plan for solo operators and flat paid plans that scale as a team grows, so the same platform works from the first chair to a busy multi-site business.
What makes Klippa different?
Flat Australian pricing with no per-head surcharge: plans are a predictable monthly fee in AUD (inclusive of GST), rather than per-staff pricing or marketplace commissions, so the bill doesn't jump every time you hire.
An AI phone receptionist (AnswR) that turns missed calls into booked appointments — a capability most salon platforms don't offer.
Australian-made with Australian-based support, salon-specific client records (colour formulas, staff commissions, visit history) treated as first-class features, and free CSV import plus assisted migration when switching from another platform.
How much does Klippa cost?
Klippa uses flat monthly plans priced in Australian dollars including GST, with a free-forever tier for solo operators and no per-staff surcharge. Paid plans add SMS reminders, POS, automation, advanced CRM and multi-location support as you move up tiers. See the pricing page for current plans and inclusions.
