Why can't I edit General settings?

Only Super Administrators and the Owner can. See Who can change salon settings.

Can clients see the booking site in their own language?

Your booking site uses the language set here.

General settings explained

Settings › General holds the basics: how your salon is named and shown, and the language and time settings Softalon uses for your salon. Super Administrators and the Owner can change them.

Each card has its own Save button. Changes apply as soon as you save.

Name & Category

Setting	What it does
Name	Your salon's name across Softalon and on your booking site.
Category	The type of business, such as Hair Salon, Barbershop or Med Spa. It helps clients understand what you offer. If none fits, choose Other and let us know through the link under the field.

Your subdomain isn't here. To change it, go to Settings › Domains. See Change your subdomain or primary domain.

Localization

New salons start with values based on where you created the salon and on your account language. Check them once, especially the timezone.

Setting	What it does	Options
Language	The language of your booking site, of invoice PDFs, and of invitation emails sent to people who don't have a Softalon account yet.	English (US), Deutsch (DE), Français (FR), Español (ES), Italiano (IT), Português (PT), Hrvatski (HR), Bosanski (BA), Srpski (RS)
Timezone	The timezone of your salon. Clients see available times on your booking site in this timezone, and the calendar shows appointments in it.	Any timezone
Week Starts On	The first day of the week in the calendar.	Sunday to Saturday
Time Format	How times are written, for example on the calendar and your booking site.	12-hour or 24-hour
Date Format	How dates are written in your automation messages.	MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, DD.MM.YYYY, YYYY/MM/DD

The salon timezone is used for booking. Some dashboard tables, such as lists with dates, use your own browser's timezone. If you travel, times in those tables follow your device, while the calendar and booking site stay on salon time.

Changing the language later

When you switch the language, Softalon also translates default texts on your booking site that you haven't edited yet, such as the header links, the home page buttons, the About text and the live chat greeting. Texts you wrote yourself stay as they are.

The language here is for your salon. Your own app language is a personal setting. See Account preferences explained.

Common questions

No. Appointments keep their exact moment in time. They're shown in the new timezone, so the clock time you see may change.
