A treatment starts before the client arrives.

A room to prepare, a device two treatments share, a client who must come without make-up: sutempo handles each of these, service by service.

What goes wrong in a beauty salon

A treatment does not start at treatment time.

The room is not ready

Fresh sheets, hot towels, disinfecting: a one-hour facial takes the room for more than an hour.

The device is already taken

Two different treatments, one machine. Without a schedule for the machine, two clients arrive at the same time.

The instructions were not read

Come without make-up, no sun before waxing: said on the phone, forgotten on the day.

The settings that matter

The room, the device, the instructions.

A beauty salon sells a person's time, a room's time and sometimes a machine's time. Here is how sutempo counts them, and where it stops.

Solo

Prepare before, reset after

Each service has its own blocked time before and after, from 5 to 60 minutes. For nails, full set, infill, removal and repair are separate services, each with its length and price.

Solo

Instructions go out with the confirmation

The client receives them when she books and again in the reminder. Your private notes keep the shade used or the product she liked.

Pro

Give the device its own schedule

An appointment takes one schedule: a person, a room or a piece of equipment. For a session several treatments share, the device becomes a schedule. sutempo does not check a person and a room at the same time today.

Pro

Courses, sold once

The client pays once, each visit uses one session. You choose the eligible treatments and a validity period. A pack can also hold a value, debited by the price of each treatment.

A typical day

One Tuesday, three schedules.

Léa does facials and waxing, Nora does nails, and the device has its own schedule: its sessions are booked without depending on a particular person.

  1. 10:00Ten minutes blocked before the facial: the room gets ready, the client is booked at 10:15.
  2. 10:45Fifteen minutes after each device session. The next one offered online starts at 11:00.
  3. 11:30Nora chains infill and removal: two lengths, two services.
  4. 12:00Léa's break, blocked in the diary, invisible to clients.

In Pro the device is a schedule of its own: two treatments that need it are never booked at the same time.

What sutempo does not do

The limits, before you commit.

Especially the first one, which matters where rooms are scarce.

No person and room booked together

An appointment takes one schedule. Choose the one that really limits the treatment.

No SMS reminders yet

Confirmation, instructions and reminder go out by email.

No monthly client subscription

Courses are sold as prepaid packs, not recurring payments.

No waiting list

A cancelled treatment becomes bookable again, without notifying anyone in particular.

Questions

What people in the trade ask us.

Does a nail bar need special settings?+

No, the same ones: well-split services (full set, infill, removal), blocked time after for the table, and a deposit on long sets if you want one.

I rent a room and work alone: is Solo enough?+

Yes. You are the only schedule: the room does not need its own if you are the only one using it. Blocked time is enough to prepare it.

How do I stop two treatments using the same device at once?+

In Pro, make the device a schedule and link the treatments that use it. A device session is then booked on the device, not on a person.

Can a client buy her course online?+

Yes, in Pro, if you publish the pack. She pays on your Stripe account, then pays each session with a credit when she books.

Do the instructions go out automatically?+

Yes. The notes before the appointment are sent with the confirmation and again in the reminder.

Can I delete a client record when asked?+

Yes. Contact details and notes are erased, and consents are recorded channel by channel.
