SenSalon alternative
A SenSalon alternative that keeps your booking and POS
SenSalon publishes itself as all-in-one nail salon software: an AI receptionist, online booking, POS and payments, Fair Turn Rotation, rewards and gift cards. Fair Flow does not do booking or checkout. It runs the floor and the team — turn system, tickets, schedule, time clock, tasks and inbox — next to the booking and POS you keep.
Who this page is for
- You are happy with your booking and POS and do not want to switch
- You want the desk to decide who takes a walk-in, on a board the whole team can see
- You need the team side — tasks, inbox, time clock — on the same platform as the rotation

FAQ
Is Fair Flow a full SenSalon replacement?
No. SenSalon publishes booking, POS, payments and an AI receptionist. Fair Flow does not include client booking, POS or payroll. It is the floor and team layer.
Does Fair Flow auto-assign walk-ins?
No. The desk decides on a shared live board, and a technician on hold keeps their place.
Can I keep my current booking and POS?
Yes. Fair Flow runs next to them.
Can clients see the Fair Flow queue?
No. It is an internal tool for the team.
