Built for beauty — not a generic scheduler

Where Acuity falls short for salons
Acuity is a solid general scheduler. But salons usually outgrow a generic calendar.
Generic, not beauty-first
Acuity books any appointment type, so salon-specific workflows — services per staff, client history, backbar — aren't its focus.
Boona is built for the chair, with salon workflows out of the box.
Not cheap for what it is
Plans run $16–$49/month for scheduling, and there's no free plan anymore.
Boona is $2 + $1 per staff — often a fraction of Acuity, with more salon features.
