Everything your
salon
runs on.
GuavaTex is online booking, front desk and POS, a website that ranks on Google, an AI that answers the phone, and posts to Facebook and Instagram — for nail salons, barbers, hair, lash and brow, waxing, tattoo studios and spas. One login, one monthly price, made by a company that runs salons of its own.
On Fresha, Vagaro or Square? We move your clients, appointments and gift card balances. Nothing lost, no sales call.
Appointment businesses. Each in its own language.
Pick your trade when you sign up and GuavaTex sets the menu, the words and the workflow to match — turns or chairs, rooms or stations, techs or artists.
Nail salons
Turn board, walk-in queue, dip / gel / pedicure menus, Vietnamese-speaking support.
Hair salons
Chairs and stylists, long services, rebook reminders when a client is due back.
Barbershops
Fast walk-ins, chair rotation, quick pay at the chair, loyalty points.
Lash & brow
Long appointments, fills on a cycle, deposits and no-show protection.
Waxing
Short slots, high volume, reminders that keep the book full.
Tattoo studios
Artists with sessions, consults, deposits held against the booking.
Spa & massage
Rooms as a bookable resource, therapists, quiet reminders.
Classes & studios
Capacity bookings for yoga, fitness and workshops.
One platform. Four people using it.
The owner, the front desk, every technician and every client each get the piece they need — and it is all the same data, so nothing is typed twice.

Every capability below is live today for the salons on GuavaTex. The Features page goes deeper on each.
Booking & schedule
A calendar that holds, and clients who book themselves.
AI phone, chat & text
The phone gets answered even when every hand is busy.
Front desk & POS
Checkout at the desk, at the chair, or on the client's phone.
Website & listings
Be found, then be booked — from the first search.
Marketing & social
Promotions out, photos in, and the feed stays full.
Team, pay & reports
Sunday-night payroll done by Sunday afternoon.
A full Saturday, all on one screen.
Ten technicians, appointments and walk-ins side by side, colour-coded by service and readable from across the room. These are the actual screens — not mock-ups.
Live in a week. Usually less.
Sign up free
Pick your trade, add your team and services. No card needed — the free plan is yours for as long as you want it.
Bring your data
Import clients, appointments, gift card balances and loyalty points from Fresha or a spreadsheet. We help with the file.
Turn on what you need
Online booking, a Clover reader, the AI phone, your website and listings — each is a switch, not a project.
Run the desk
Book, check in, charge, pay out. Support answers in English or Vietnamese from people who run a desk themselves.
GuavaTex is built and supported by Lavish Merchant Solutions, LLC — a New Hampshire company that owns and runs nail salons on this same platform. After ten years of booking software made for hair salons and sold by people who never worked a Saturday rush, we built our own. Every feature here ran at our front desks first.
Start free. Pay when the shop grows.
Flat price for the whole shop — not per staff member, no marketplace commission. Fresha charges $14.95 per bookable team member plus a 20% fee on new clients from its marketplace (their pricing page, 2025). GuavaTex is one number every month.
Free
Calendar, booking page, client list. Up to 2 staff, one location. No card required.
Basic
Online booking, turn system, up to 5 staff. For a small team getting off paper. Under a dollar a day.
Enterprise
Everything: POS with a Clover Mini included, payroll, gift cards, loyalty, promotions, reviews, website, multiple locations. Unlimited staff.
Billed monthly, cancel any time, no contract. Text message packs and the AI receptionist are optional add-ons. Full pricing →
We're on Fresha / Vagaro / Square. Can we switch without losing anything?
Yes. Clients, upcoming appointments, gift card balances and loyalty points import from a file, and we check the file with you before it goes in. The switch usually takes a few days, not weeks.
Do we have to use your card reader?
Card payments run through CardConnect (Fiserv) with Clover readers — the Enterprise plan includes a Clover Mini. Cash, gift cards and manual tenders work on every plan with no reader at all.
What does the AI phone actually do?
It answers your salon's number, understands what the caller wants, books the appointment on the real schedule, confirms by text and lets the desk know. Press 0 reaches a person. It speaks in your salon's name, not ours.
Is our data ours?
Yes. Card numbers never touch our servers. If you ever leave, your clients, appointments and sales export with you.
Can our techs see each other's sales?
No. Each technician sees only their own station, clients and pay. Owners and managers set roles and PINs for the desk.
Who do we talk to when something's wrong?
The team that runs the desk at our own salons — by text, email or phone, in English or Vietnamese. Not a ticket queue.
Your desk, your techs, your clients. One place.
