Set up your salon in five minutes

Business name, country, currency and your first few services. Everything we need to get you up and grooming.

GroomLog walks you through this the first time you open the app — this guide is here for when you want to double check a step, or change something afterwards.

Download and create an account

Install GroomLog from the App Store then either create an account with your email and a password.

Tell us about your business

The first time you land on the Home screen, a Your business page opens asking for some basic information so bookings and totals show the right details.

1
Enter your business name. It’s what clients see and we use this to create your unique public link for online bookings and new client forms.
2
Pick your country. GroomLog fills in a matching currency automatically. Change it here if you charge in something else.
3
Tap Save & continue to drop onto your Home dashboard.

You can change any of these later from Settings → Account. Business name, country, currency and your open hours all live on that Account Settings screen.

Check your starting services

The same screen already has two services waiting for you Groom and Bath. Here you can rename, change the price and length, or delete them and add your own services.

  • Tap a service to edit its name, price or duration
  • Tap Add service to create a new one. We’ll show some suggestions for common services.
  • Add a service any time from Settings → Services once you’re past setup

If you plan to turn on online booking, this list matters beyond your own bookings. Clients will only be able to book the services you’ve added here.

What to do next

That’s everything GroomLog needs to show you a working diary. From here, you can add your first clients as they call or walk in. Next steps? Take a look at a couple of features that save the most admin:
