Salonized prices and terms checked 10 October 2026 on Salonized pricing, Salonized terms, Salonized deposits help, Salonized Pay and Salonized UK launch page. Covered Beauty prices are the advertised monthly subscriptions in our pricing section. Salonized’s pricing page doesn’t say whether £59 includes VAT, and its terms say rates exclude VAT unless stated. Card processing and optional extras are separate. Features and tax treatment differ, so this is not a like-for-like total-cost quote. Check each provider’s current terms before signing up.
Is Covered Beauty a good Salonized alternative?
Covered Beauty suits independent practitioners and teams of up to five who want the everyday tools at a smaller monthly price. Solo is £9/month and Salon is £19/month, with deposits, consent forms, client records, gift vouchers and 50 free texts a month included.

Who is Salonized better for?
Salonized suits established salons with a team that want diary, till, stock, marketing and reports in one system. Its UK launch page says it is part of the Treatwell Group, so it also suits salons that want Treatwell’s marketplace run from the same diary.
Count the texts as well.
Salonized sells texts as credits, at 13p each in smaller packs and down to 9p in the largest. Its own example is 200 credits for £26. Covered Beauty includes 50 free texts a month on both plans, and if you need more, 150 extra texts are £6.50.
