Online booking system for beauticians

How does online booking work in a beauty salon?

The beautician adds the treatments with their real lengths: a classic facial takes an hour, brow shaping twenty minutes, a deep-cleansing treatment seventy-five minutes. If preparation or cleaning is needed between treatments, it is set as a separate break for each service. On the booking link the client chooses the treatment and a free time, and immediately gets an email with the details and a cancellation link.

This matters for a beautician because they cannot answer the phone during a treatment. Clients can book in the evening or at the weekend too, and the beautician sees the new appointment in the dashboard calendar after the treatment. Appointments arranged by phone go into the same calendar, so the online offer always shows only the times that are actually free.

What should go on the client profile, and what about data protection?

On the client profile you see the client’s past and upcoming bookings and can add notes. In a beauty salon this is useful for recording skin type, a product used before or a treatment preference, so you do not have to ask everything again next time.

However, health information, such as an allergy or a skin condition, counts as special category data under the GDPR. Only record it if it is really needed for the treatment and the client knows about it. Your business is the controller of client data, and FoglalGo acts as a processor; the responsibilities are set out in the data processing agreement. The active booking database is bound to an EU data location, and your bookings and client list can be downloaded as CSV.

Which plan does a beautician need?

For a beautician working alone who is just introducing online booking, the Start plan may be enough: HUF 0, with no time limit, 1 team member, 3 services and 30 bookings a month. If your treatment list is longer, for example with several variants of facials, lash lifts, brows and waxing listed separately, you will need the Pro plan.

The Pro plan costs HUF 3,990 a month or HUF 39,900 a year. It gives you unlimited services and bookings with up to 3 team members, sends the client a reminder email before the appointment, and unlocks the full set of booking rules. For a larger salon, the Business plan costs HUF 5,990 a month, with unlimited team members. None of the plans charges a commission, and there is no VAT on the fees.

How do you handle treatment courses with several sessions?

A course of facials or machine treatments often repeats weekly, on the same day at the same time. You do not have to add it session by session: in the dashboard a booking can repeat weekly for 2–12 weeks, so every session of the course goes into the calendar in one step, and those slots can no longer be booked online.

If the client wants to move one session, you change that particular booking. You follow the progress of the course and the skin’s reactions on the client profile, as notes. So before the next session you see at a glance where the client is and what you agreed last time.
