About us

Our story

In 2017, five entrepreneurs—Tom, André, Alex, Samuel, and Gilberto—came together with a shared vision: simplifying salon owners’ daily operations. They set out to create tools to help salons run smoothly and efficiently.

Since then, Salonkee has grown into a comprehensive all-in-one solution and a trusted booking platform, offering appointment scheduling, POS systems, employee management, marketing tools, and more. Today, thousands of salons trust Salonkee to streamline their businesses.

We believe that being local is essential, which is why we have dedicated teams across Europe providing hands-on training and free support to help salons grow. Our commitment remains the same: empowering salon owners to focus on their craft and build strong client relationships.

Our values

01

We have high ambitions and we encourage and allow everybody to reach for the stars. We are not aiming for marginal improvement and are not satisfied with being average. We didn’t settle after becoming the market leaders in Luxembourg and we’ll relentlessly keep pursuing our path for European leadership.

Being part of Salonkee means that you are part of an A-team. An A-Team is one in which all of your colleagues are extraordinary at what they do and are highly effective and inspiring collaborators. Our version of a great workplace is not about fancy offices or our famous self-made beer. Our idea of the great workplace is an environment where you can work and strive for more, alongside like minded people in pursuit of an ambitious mission we all deeply care about. It is in such a team we all learn the most, perform at our best and have the most fun. At Salonkee we believe that satisfying work is a key ingredient to building a great company.

03

At Salonkee we are humble and down to earth. We leave our ego at the door and we know that our past achievements do not guarantee our future successes. We are not arrogant, we don’t become complacent. Our humility guides us to be curious, to actively listen, to understand, to learn and to improve our craft day by day.

Scale-ups are turbulent environments, full of changes, challenges and adversity. As the small underdog from Luxembourg, adversity has been an integral and inevitable part of our journey. However, our determination and grit makes us succeed, where others consider success to be impossible. We don’t shy away from obstacles, we thrive on overcoming them.
