Self-Service Salon Kiosk

Replace your front desk.
Keep the revenue.

Emvari’s salon kiosk does the front desk’s job — check-in, payment, tips and rebooking — so you skip a $35K–$50K receptionist salary and every client is asked to rebook before they leave. The kiosk is for salons: included on Evolve or a $79/month add-on on Expand, opening to salons with teams on February 15, 2027.

Your front desk is the most expensive
seat in the salon.

A receptionist costs $35,000–$50,000 a year. They work 40 hours a week, not 60. They call out sick. They forget to ask for rebookings. They miss the retail upsell. And when they quit, you lose the front of your business for weeks while you hire again.

Emvari’s salon kiosk is built to replace the front desk entirely, not babysit it.

Client checking in at an Emvari salon kiosk

Check-in that protects the guest experience.

Clients don't wait at the desk and stylists aren't interrupted mid-service — without your salon feeling like a fast-food counter.

Every visit starts personal.

Clients confirm comfort preferences and service notes at check-in, so the stylist knows before they say hello.

Four things your front desk
should be doing, and now can.

The salon kiosk doesn’t replace hospitality. It replaces the tasks that keep your team from giving it.

How the salon kiosk runs
a full guest visit.

From the moment a client walks in to the moment they walk out, the Emvari salon kiosk handles every front desk task.

  1. Step 1

    Client walks in

    Checks in at the kiosk in under 15 seconds. Their stylist is notified instantly on the Emvari app.

  2. Step 2

    Service happens

    No front desk interruptions. No “can you grab line 1?” Your team stays focused on the chair.

  3. Step 3

    Service ends

    The client pays, tips, and books their next appointment at the kiosk in under 60 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Before they leave

    The kiosk asks for a Google review and suggests the retail product that matches their service.

  5. Step 5

    You never touched the front desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

The kiosk is included on the Evolve plan ($199/month, or $169/month billed annually). Expand salons can add it for $79/month per location. Evolve is built for salons running full business automation — the kiosk, reputation management, and the advanced features that let your team focus on clients instead of front desk tasks.

Three ways. Every client is prompted to rebook before they leave — most front desks forget. Every client is asked for a Google review at the moment of peak satisfaction — reviews drive new bookings. Retail products are suggested at checkout based on the service they just had. Salons on Evolve average $40K+ in annual savings and added revenue through kiosk-driven automation.

No. Most salons redeploy that role — front desk team members become guest experience leads, retail specialists, or assistant managers. The kiosk handles the transactional work (check-in, payment, rebooking, reviews) so your team can do the relational work (consultations, hospitality, retail selling on the floor). You replace the task, not the person.
Yes. The kiosk is designed to feel like a concierge, not a fast-food order screen. Clients are greeted by name, see their stylist’s photo, and get through check-in in under 15 seconds. If a client hesitates, your team gets pinged on the Emvari app instantly — so help is there before they have to ask.

Under an hour. Import your client list, connect your calendar, plug in the kiosk. You’re live the same day. Evolve plan clients get hands-on onboarding to set up your kiosk configuration, service menu, and team app — so the day it arrives is the day it runs.

Yes. Every kiosk action — check-in, payment, tipping, rebooking, review prompts, retail suggestions — is an independent toggle. Start with check-in only if you want. Add the rest as your team gets comfortable. The kiosk works for cautious owners and aggressive owners with the same hardware.
The kiosk runs in offline mode. Check-ins, payments, and rebookings queue locally and sync the moment you’re back online. Nothing is lost. Nothing has to be re-entered. The salon keeps running while everyone else’s POS is down.
