Key people at Salonkee.
Salonkee is a Luxembourg-based vertical SaaS company founded in 2016 that provides an all-in-one salon management platform for the hair, beauty, and wellness industry.[1][2][4] It offers digital tools including online booking, calendars, client databases, point-of-sale (POS) systems, payments, and marketing features, serving over 10,000 salons across six European countries like Luxembourg, Belgium, and Switzerland.[1][2][5] The platform solves operational inefficiencies for salon owners by enabling 24/7 client bookings, automated reminders, and comprehensive business management, while driving growth through innovative features tailored to local markets.[1][2] Salonkee has demonstrated strong momentum with a €6.2M Series A in one round and a €28M Series B to fuel European expansion, team growth, and product innovation, alongside reported revenues of $18.9M–$23.1M and a workforce of 91–309 employees.[1][4]
Salonkee was founded in 2016 in Luxembourg by co-founders including Alexandre Claro, who serves as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO).[1][4] Emerging from the need to simplify beauty appointments in a digital era, the idea addressed pain points like phone-based booking delays and fragmented salon management, bringing "the simplicity and joy of online beauty-appointment bookings to the tip of your fingers."[1][4] Early traction came from dominating the Luxembourg market, followed by expansion into Belgium and Switzerland, where it became the undisputed leader.[2] Pivotal moments include securing a €6.2M Series A led by Fortino Capital and Newion to partner with over 1,200 salons, and a €28M Series B to accelerate pan-European growth and platform enhancements.[1]
Salonkee rides the wave of vertical SaaS growth, targeting the underserved $100B+ global beauty and wellness industry with specialized tools that digitize fragmented operations amid rising e-commerce and mobile booking trends.[5] Its timing aligns with post-pandemic demand for contactless services and salon digitalization, fueled by market forces like labor shortages and client expectations for 24/7 convenience.[1][2] By serving 10,000+ salons in six countries, Salonkee influences the ecosystem as Europe's leading solution, enabling owners to focus on passion over admin, fostering industry-wide adoption of integrated tech, and setting benchmarks for localized vertical software expansion.[2][5]
With €34M+ in funding and a scaling user base, Salonkee is poised to capture more European market share by innovating its platform and growing its team, potentially entering new countries and deepening AI-driven features like predictive bookings.[1] Trends like salon consolidation, mobile-first clients, and embedded finance will shape its path, amplifying its role as a vertical SaaS leader. Its influence may evolve into ecosystem dominance, empowering salons to thrive digitally while sustaining high growth from its proven all-in-one model that began with simplifying Luxembourg bookings.
Salonkee has raised $31.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $30.0M Series B in June 2023.
