You've started your salon—congratulations! But let's be honest: there's a lot coming at you. Scheduling treatments, arranging payments, saving receipts, keeping up with social media...
These 5 tools make it easier for yourself from day one.
1. Bookura – for bookings and payments
With Bookura you create an online booking page where clients can schedule an appointment themselves. No more endless chatting. You immediately see your appointments, payments, and revenue. Everything in one place. Peace in your head, and professional towards your clients.
2. Moneybird or similar – for your administration
Good bookkeeping might sound boring, but it saves you enormous stress (especially when the tax office comes knocking). With tools like Moneybird you keep invoices, expenses, and VAT organized. And they easily connect with your bank or accounting firm. Learn more about salon accounting.
3. Canva – for your social media and print materials
Not a designer? No problem. With Canva you create beautiful Instagram posts, flyers, price lists, and even gift cards in no time. There are ready-made templates, so you only need to add your text and photos.
4. Meta Business Suite – schedule your posts
Don't want to post something every day? Plan your content ahead. With Meta Business Suite you can schedule Facebook and Instagram posts simultaneously. This way you're visible without having to be online every day.
5. Google Calendar (or just your phone)
Set fixed blocks in your calendar for salon work, administration, or rest. Combine it with Bookura so your client appointments are automatically visible via Google Calendar sync. This prevents double-booking or forgetting important tasks.
In summary: Entrepreneurship is busy enough. These tools save you time, provide overview, and let you do what you're good at: making people beautiful.
