-
Step 1
Join the launch list
When Saloon opens, you can try it free for 14 days alongside Da Vinci. You do not have to switch straight away; keep using your current system while you set up Saloon.
-
Step 2
Get your salon ready
In Account setup you give your type of salon and your opening hours. Saloon sets up a few services that fit. Complete them with your own prices and durations, and invite your team.
-
Step 3
Bring your clients and products
Request an export of your client list in Da Vinci as an Excel or CSV file; most salon systems offer one. Import it under Customers. Saloon recognises the columns and you check them. Products are imported the same way.
-
Step 4
Move your appointments and go live
Appointments cannot be imported: put the planned ones into the calendar yourself. Then put your salon page live and share your new booking link.
What is in there afterwards
- Your clients with contact details, date of birth and notes
- Your products with prices, barcodes and stock
- Your services with your own prices and durations
- Your team with roles and working hours
- Your salon page and a new booking link

Can I import my Da Vinci clients?
Yes. Request an export of your client list in Da Vinci as an Excel or CSV file; most salon systems offer one. Import it under Customers › Options › Import customers. You see what comes in before anything is saved, and your clients get no message. Afterwards you add allergies and patch tests per client in the profile.
Do my appointments and history from Da Vinci come along?
No. Appointments, sales, gift cards and subscriptions cannot be imported. For each client you do bring the date they became a client. You put planned appointments into the calendar yourself, at your own pace.
What do I lose when I switch from Da Vinci?
A card terminal link and help by phone or chat. In Saloon you take card payments on your own terminal and record them at checkout; we help by email. If you rely on Da Vinci's terminal link or helpdesk, take that into account.
Do I get help with switching?
You do the import yourself, with the Get started guide to lead the way. If you get stuck, email [email protected] and we will help you by email.
