FAQ
Hair salons typically do best with conversational-friendly genres — soft pop, acoustic, R&B, soul, and chillout tracks that create energy without drowning out stylist-client conversation. Moodby's salon stations are curated specifically for this balance, with different tempo profiles for morning, midday, and evening.
Yes. Playing music in a commercial hair salon or barbershop is legally classified as public performance. In the UK you need licences from both PRS for Music and PPL. In the US, you need ASCAP and/or BMI. Moodby covers all required licensing within every subscription — no separate applications.
No. Personal streaming accounts are licensed for private, individual use only. Using one commercially in a salon — even a small one — is a copyright infringement that can lead to fines from PRS and PPL. Moodby is fully licensed for commercial use from day one.
PRS for Music covers the rights of songwriters and composers. PPL covers the rights of record labels and performers. A UK hair salon legally needs both — which is why many salon owners pay for them separately. Moodby's single subscription covers both, worldwide.
PRS for Music licences for a small salon start at around €100–€200 per year, with PPL adding a similar amount on top. Combined, this often exceeds the cost of a Moodby subscription — which starts at €25 per month per zone and includes both licences plus professional playlist curation.
Yes. Moodby's drag-and-drop scheduler lets you set different playlists for morning walk-ins, peak midday hours, and quieter evening appointments — all automated, with no need to change it manually during the working day.
Each location needs its own stream, but all are managed centrally from one Moodby account. There's no separate licence application per site — just add a zone for each new location and the coverage is automatic.
Yes — Moodby offers a free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to the entire station catalogue to test in your salon before committing to a subscription.
No. Moodby runs on any existing device — tablet, smartphone, or laptop — connected to your salon's speakers. Setup takes a few minutes and requires no specialist equipment.

Why sound matters more in a salon than almost anywhere else
A library designed around how hair salons actually work
Always legal, always fresh, always effortless
As the founder of Moodby, I set out to solve a problem hair salon owners know intimately: the music playing in your salon either makes the space feel alive and welcoming, or it becomes an afterthought that quietly undermines the experience. In a hair salon, background music has a unique job — it needs to create atmosphere and energy without overpowering the conversations happening between stylists and clients at every chair. Getting that balance right is harder than it sounds, and it's exactly what we built Moodby to solve.
We've listened to hundreds of salon owners, independent stylists, and barbershop operators to understand what background music for a hair salon truly needs to deliver. The result is a curated catalogue built around the salon day: calm acoustic and soft pop for quiet morning appointments, upbeat contemporary tracks for busy midday walk-ins, and relaxed evening sets for the last bookings of the day. Whether you run a single-chair studio or a multi-location salon brand, Moodby has a station ready. Every track is fully licensed for commercial public performance — covering PRS, PPL, ASCAP, BMI, and equivalent bodies worldwide — so there are no surprise fees, no annual licence renewals, no copyright enforcement letters.
Our music team updates playlists every week, tracking new releases and shifts in what salon clients actually want to hear. Regular clients notice the difference — your salon always sounds current, never stale. And because licensing is built into every Moodby plan, your compliance updates automatically as regulations change. Nothing to renegotiate, nothing to worry about.
We believe that a hair salon's sound identity is as important as its interior design and staff uniforms. Moodby gives you the tools to define it, own it, and keep it consistent — whether you have one chair or a hundred.
