Questions

Frequently asked

Is HairNovi a real Fresha alternative?+

Yes. HairNovi is a full salon operating system — bookings, CRM, POS, inventory, multi-branch, staff — plus AI consultations and hairstyle previews built in. Salons switching from Fresha typically go live in under a week.

How is HairNovi different from Fresha?+

HairNovi is AI-native. Photorealistic style previews, face-shape analysis and AI consultation reports are core features, not add-ons. The UX is calm, mobile-first, and designed for zero-training staff adoption.

Does HairNovi support multi-branch chains?+

Yes — multi-branch is native. One login, unified reporting, per-branch inventory and staff, role-based access.

Can I migrate my Fresha data?+

Yes. HairNovi's team handles the migration — customers, appointments, staff, inventory — as part of onboarding.

Is HairNovi cheaper than Fresha?+

HairNovi's pricing is transparent and per-branch. Most salons pay less than they did on Fresha once add-ons are counted.
