Avana's features: common questions
What features does Avana have?
Avana brings together what a salon needs in one booking system: your own booking page, an online calendar, automated reminders, payments at the desk or online, deposits, invoices, client records, reviews, gift cards, product sales, email campaigns and reports. You pay one fixed price with no commission.
Are all features in every plan?
The essentials are already in Avana Business: your booking page, calendar, reminders, deposits, invoices and client list. The waitlist, gift cards, product sales, multiple locations, the cash book, stock and reports come with Business Plus, and email campaigns and treatment rooms with Business Max. The booking widget is in every paid plan; only booking on your own domain needs Business Max. The pricing page compares the plans.
How much does Avana cost per month?
Avana Business costs £15.99 a month, Avana Business Plus £28.99 and Avana Business Max £55.99, all VAT included and cancellable monthly. If you work alone, Avana Business is usually enough, which comes to £0.53 a day, and every plan can be tried free for 7 days without card details.
Does Avana take commission on my bookings?
No, 0%. You pay a fixed monthly price and keep the whole service price. When clients pay online, a service fee of £1.49 to £2.29 per booking is part of the price they see, which is exactly what lets us pay you out without commission.
Do I need my own website to use Avana?
No. You get your own booking page that clients can also find through search, and for most salons that's their whole online presence. If you have a site, every paid plan lets you add the booking widget; connecting your own domain needs Business Max.
How does Avana help against no-shows?
With automated reminders by email and text, a deposit for longer services and your own cancellation rules. People who've paid something up front nearly always turn up, and if the chair stays empty anyway, that hour no longer costs you.
Can I switch from another booking system?
Yes. You set up your services and bring your client list with you, and because you start with 7 days free, you can test everything before moving over. The switching page explains how.
Does Avana work on my phone?
Yes, Avana works on any phone. You manage your calendar, clients and bookings from the free Avana app, and clients book in their browser without installing anything.
Is there a service fee, and who pays it?
When a client pays online, a small service fee is part of the price they see from the very first screen: 3% of the booking, at least £1.49 and at most £2.29. You pay nothing on your takings, because Avana charges no commission. That small amount from the client is what lets us pay you out in full, so the whole treatment price stays with you.

The short answer
What can Avana do?
Avana is salon booking software that does everything a salon needs in one place. Every plan includes your own online booking page, a calendar that keeps itself up to date, automatic confirmations and reminders, payments at the desk or online, deposits, invoices, a client list with your own notes, and reviews that come in by themselves. For a solo salon, Avana Business costs £15.99 a month, VAT included, which is £0.53 a day. A waitlist, gift cards, product sales and reports come with Avana Business Plus at £28.99 a month, and email campaigns with Avana Business Max at £55.99 a month. Avana takes 0% commission on your service prices, and every plan starts with 7 days free.
Avana's features
Salon software where everything connects
Most salons start with one thing: letting clients book themselves. Then the rest turns out to belong too. A salon booking system, whether you call it an online diary, appointment software or salon software, is only useful when the parts work together. If someone books a colour on a Sunday evening, it's in your calendar straight away, the client gets a confirmation and reminder, and after the appointment the invoice is ready. That's why Avana doesn't sell those parts separately.
What you switch on depends on your salon. If you work alone, your booking page with your calendar and reminders is usually enough. For long services, add a deposit. If you already have a website, build booking into it with the booking widget, and if someone joins you, they get a calendar of their own.
To get more from your existing clients, look at the other side: a client list with your own notes, reviews that arrive by themselves, a digital loyalty card for regulars and campaigns to people you haven't seen in a while. Plan contents are on the pricing page, and what Avana does for your kind of salon is on the who it's for page.
