Changelog
See what's new in SalonSync. We ship updates regularly — here's what changed.
v1.0.5
April 30, 2026
New
- Redesigned owner dashboard built around the five KPIs salon coaches actually use — Salon Revenue, Avg Ticket, Rebook Rate, Retention 90d, and Productivity
- Health Signals row — Retail-to-Service Ratio, At-Risk Clients, and No-Show Cost — at a glance, what to act on this week
- Stylist Performance ranks by quality (Rebook %) instead of just dollars, with Retail % per stylist
- Reports library with 8 detail tabs — Revenue, Stylist, Services, Cancellations & No-Shows, At-Risk Clients, Tax Report, Booth Rent Ledger, Sales Breakdown
- Tap the (i) on the Dashboard for a help sheet explaining every metric, target band, and what it means for your salon
- Period-over-period deltas on Avg Ticket and Rebook Rate — see direction at a glance
- Salon Revenue separates your P&L take from total business volume — booth-renter sales never double-count as your revenue
- Last-visit tracking on every client — powers the new At-Risk card and surfaces who hasn't been in lately
Improved
- Dashboard numbers reconcile end-to-end — payment-method totals match the leaderboard match the hero card
- Trend chart fills the whole window so empty days show as zero instead of being skipped
- Cleaner trend line — no more busy dot markers, just a smooth filled line
- Checkouts update the dashboard the same second they're saved (was previously frozen to when you opened the screen)
- "Today" and short custom windows now hide behavioral KPIs that need a bigger sample, instead of showing a noisy number
- Friendlier empty states across the dashboard — an icon and a hopeful line instead of "no data"
- Haptic feedback when you tap dashboard cards
Fixed
- Completion rate was being dragged down by future-scheduled appointments. Now matches industry convention — completed ÷ (completed + canceled + no-show).
- "Returning" count was actually counting visits, not customers. Renamed "Repeat Visits" to match.
- "Total" client count was lifetime; "New" and "Returning" were window-scoped. All three now scoped to the same period.
- Salon Revenue Trend wasn't reflecting same-day checkouts during a session. Now refreshes live.
