Salonkee

Salonkee (operating at salonkee.com) is a European vertical SaaS platform engineered for the hair and beauty industry, streamlining operations for professionals and enhancing customer experiences. Founded in 2016 by a team of five entrepreneurs—Tom Michels, André Stehle, Alex (last name unspecified), Samuel Faber, and Gilberto Fernandes—headquartered in Europe, Salonkee transforms how salons manage daily workflows. It eliminates inefficiencies like manual bookings and fragmented tools by offering an all-in-one management solution, including online booking, service scheduling, and client engagement features. Under the hood, the platform integrates intuitive software for salon owners to automate appointments, track services, and manage payments, while customers benefit from seamless, real-time booking via mobile or web. This allows salons to scale operations efficiently and clients to discover, compare, and reserve services with ease. Backed by a €38.3 million funding round across three stages, including a €30 million Series B in June 2023, Salonkee has attracted investors like Capital, JOE Caruso, and Zachary Sims, reflecting its rapid growth and market traction.
