Deliver More Personal Client Experiences with Phorest AI
AI is changing the way businesses operate, but in the beauty and wellness industry, one thing remains true: the human touch is irreplaceable.
The acquisition of the technology focused on large-scale chain salon businesses reinforces Zenoti's commitment to the multi-location segment.

Sudheer Koneru, CEO of Zenoti.
Zenoti, one of the leading SaaS providers in the beauty, wellness and fitness space, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of SuperSalon software. SuperSalon has been a trusted brand for some of the largest salon chains for the past 22 years. The acquisition follows Zenoti’s Series D funding round where it was valued at over $1.5 billion.
With the industry reopening after COVID shutdowns, many salons and spas are looking for software that provides modern features like mobile bookings, a reception-less environment, and contactless payments. As a result, Zenoti has seen unprecedented growth, and the company’s continued investment in growth and innovation further cements their position as an industry leader.
“Customers expect innovation, and innovation needs scale,” said Sudheer Koneru, CEO of Zenoti. “Like Zenoti, SuperSalon is trusted and proven among large enterprises, and our combined entity will not only expand the reach of our offering but also give us the scale to continue to develop cutting-edge technology that takes our customers to the next level.”
“I’m very excited to join the Zenoti family and bring its capabilities and innovation to our customers,” said Raj Mahajan, the CEO of SuperSalon. “Zenoti’s modern, mobile-friendly solution stands out as the strongest in our segment, and I see it as the best way forward to ensure continued growth and competitiveness for our customers. Most importantly, Zenoti will help them provide a standout experience for our customer’s guests.”
While the value of the deal is undisclosed, the combined entity will power over 15,000 spas, salons and med-spas, including leading national chains like European Wax Center, Hand & Stone, Hair Cuttery and Fantastic Sams.
“Businesses have ever-evolving needs from software,” added Sudheer Koneru. “A decade back, businesses looked at software only to handle point-of-sale and a few basic processes. Today, it has gone much beyond that. Our customers expect us to create magical end-consumer experiences as well as power their marketing and growth. At Zenoti we invest heavily in such innovation. Greater scale also means more data. This, coupled with our AI capabilities, means we can offer never-before features, insights and benchmarks to our customers.”
In addition to managing the existing customers of SuperSalon, Raj Mahajan will also be assuming the role of SVP – Corporate Development in Zenoti. “I see the beauty/wellness software industry entering a necessary period of consolidation,” said Mahajan. “Zenoti’s global scale positions the company well to spearhead this consolidation, and the technology advantages will benefit everybody that uses their platform. I’m excited to leverage Zenoti’s scale to drive this initiative.

AI is changing the way businesses operate, but in the beauty and wellness industry, one thing remains true: the human touch is irreplaceable.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in streamlining operations for salons and independent beauty professionals, bringing together customer service with thoughtful intelligence.

Salon owners expected AI to deliver efficiency. What they didn't expect was what it did to their team, and what their clients started saying in reviews.

An AI platform already trusted by salons across Australia, Ireland and the UK is expanding to the United States, with a focus on the data-driven salon community.

Your Instagram may introduce your salon to new clients, but it's your digital footprint that seals the deal. Dawna Jarvis walks you through how clients are discovering you online and what to do to make sure you show up.

If your day-to-day feels like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole, you’re not alone. The hair and beauty industry runs on creativity and connection, but behind the scenes, it runs on systems. When you spread those systems across a few different tools (plus a couple of sticky notes and a prayer), even the best-run salons feel like they’re working twice as hard for the same results.

Fundraising for important industry iniatives and philanthropies just got much easier, with MeevoPay Giving, which allows salons, spas and med spas to invite guests to give at checkout.

Modern tools provide practical customer retention features. Discover which software platform can help increase your return rate.

Your salon software is the backbone of your business. And now is the time of year to evaluate its efficiency: Is it providing the tools you need to grow? Does it improve the guest experience? How does your team interact with it? Are you happy with your software’s customer service? If you’re not getting what you need from your current software, it may be time for a switch.
