Running your business in Ireland
The things that are different for Irish salons, clinics and studios.
Priced in euro
Free for one or two staff. Bigger teams pay a flat €6 a month for unlimited staff, billed in euro, so there’s no sterling price to convert.
Irish bank holidays
Add St Brigid’s Day, St Patrick’s Day and the June, August and October bank holidays as closed dates, and clients can’t book you on them. Your booking page runs on Irish time.
VAT on your services
Hairdressing moved to the 9% VAT rate on 1 July 2026. You only have to register for VAT once your services pass €42,500 in a rolling 12 months. Set your prices the way you charge them; Slotivo doesn’t add VAT to your clients’ bookings.
Weighing up Phorest?
Phorest, founded in Dublin, is the name many Irish salons know. It suits larger salons that want marketing built in. Slotivo is for teams that want online booking and deposits without a per-staff bill.
