How to Update Service Prices
Step 1: Access price updates
Log into your Salonized account
Go to Services in the main menu
Click the Update Prices button at the top of the page
Step 2: Select Services to Update
You'll see a list of all your services. Select which ones you want to update by entering their new prices.
Important: You need to manually enter the exact new price for each service. There's no automatic percentage increase - this gives you full control over each pricing decision.
Step 3: Choose when to apply changes
You have two options:
Option 1: Update Now
Changes take effect immediately. Use this when you need to update prices right away.
Option 2: Schedule update
Pick a future date (like January 1, 2026) and your prices will update automatically on that date. Perfect for planning ahead.
Step 4: Review and Save
Double-check your new prices and chosen date, then click Save.
If you scheduled changes for later, they'll apply automatically on the date you selected - no need to remember or do anything else.
Why Schedule Price Changes?
Plan during quiet moments, apply during busy ones
December is hectic. By scheduling your 2026 prices in November, you can make thoughtful decisions when you have time - then let them go live automatically on January 1st while you're handling clients.
Communicate with confidence
When regulars book their end-of-year appointments, you can tell them about upcoming price changes because you've already planned them out. No surprises, no awkward conversations.
Stop relying on memory
How many times have you thought "I need to update prices in January" and then forgotten until February? Schedule it once and it happens automatically.
Focus on what matters
Your time is valuable. Spend it on clients and your craft, not on remembering admin tasks.

Important things to know
One scheduled update at a time
You can only have one scheduled price update active at a time. If you want to create a new schedule, cancel the existing one first. This ensures you don't accidentally have conflicting price changes scheduled.
New prices update everywhere automatically
When your scheduled date arrives, prices update in:
Your Salonized calendar
Online booking system
Point of sale
Anywhere clients can view or book your services
You don't need to update anything manually in multiple places.
Tips for communicating price changes
Use the custom alert for the booking widget
By using the custom alert in the booking widget, your customers are already aware of the upcoming price update
Tell clients in advance
Give regulars a heads-up during their appointments: "Just so you know, we're adjusting our prices starting January 1st. I wanted to make sure you knew before you book your next appointment."
Post in your salon
Put up a friendly notice a few weeks before: "New year, new prices! Starting January 1st, our service prices will be updated. Thanks for your continued support!"
Send a message
Use Salonized's messaging features to send a brief note to regular clients about upcoming changes.
Be confident
Price increases are normal and necessary. Don't apologize - frame it as investing in quality service, better products, or your team's expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I schedule different dates for different services?
A: Currently, you can have one scheduled update at a time. All services in that update will change on the same date. For different dates, you'd need to create separate scheduled updates.
Q: What if I make a mistake?
A: No problem! You can cancel scheduled price changes anytime before they go live.
Q: Will clients get notified about price changes?
A: No, Salonized doesn't automatically notify clients. You'll need to communicate changes yourself through appointments, messages, or signage.
Q: Can I see a history of my price changes?
A: Currently, you can see what's scheduled for the future. For historical changes, you'd need to check your service settings over time.
Q: What happens if I have a scheduled update and try to create another one?
A: You'll need to cancel the existing scheduled update first. This prevents conflicting changes.
Q: Do gift vouchers purchased before a price increase reflect the new prices?
A: Gift vouchers are typically honored at the value purchased, regardless of future price changes. Check your voucher terms.
