Quick answer to the question:

If you’re searching for the right salon software for your aesthetic clinic in France, consider both global solutions and a local platform that truly understands the market and smaller studios.

  • Fresha – an international leader offering intuitive booking and a wide customer base, ideal for fast-growing chains.
  • Treatwell – gain new clients quickly through its well-known marketplace, with diverse payment and marketing integrations; just be mindful that costs can rise with higher booking volumes.
  • SalonLife – built specifically for French aesthetic clinics, fully compliant with local regulations.
    • Real-time inventory management for fillers and batch numbers
    • Centralized handling of medical notes, consent forms, and allergy tracking
    • Easy setup for small to mid-sized salons
    • 24/7 online booking in a French-language interface

A more thorough explanation of the question.

You might think a morning at a French aesthetic clinic starts just like in Sydney or Boston: doors open, clients arrive, schedules fill up, and the day gets going. Yet by noon, it’s clear that French clinics operate on an entirely different level. Here, about 65,000 salons and over 250,000 beauty professionals officially compete—and nearly 40% of bookings happen after business hours. GDPR isn’t just a legal clause; it’s a cultural code demanding flawless French-language service in every notification, app button, and automated message.

Even more distinctive is that most studios house no more than five aestheticians. Some are salaried, others rent a station and work independently. So your software must manage both payroll-based specialists and rented workspaces, offering a 24/7, intuitive solution that makes online booking as seamless as scrolling through Instagram.

Why SalonLife Is Every Aesthetic Professional’s Dream Software—and a True Game Changer

Imagine your day at a French aesthetic clinic: you’re set to perform treatments like dermal fillers, laser therapies, and anti-aging programs—but little things—a chaotic schedule, dwindling filler supplies, or misplaced medical notes—overshadow your true expertise. These headaches drain you and raise the stakes, especially when procedures demand medical precision.

SalonLife frees you from daily hassle by streamlining inventory management, bookings, and client communication—so you can focus on what truly matters: reliable, professional treatments. Whether you choose Fresha, Treatwell, or SalonLife—all are solid platforms that can elevate your business. But SalonLife is specifically engineered for the unique needs of French aesthetic clinics.

Product Management: Avoid “Out of Stock” Moments and Optimize Costs

Precision is paramount in aesthetic procedures. With SalonLife, you’ll enter every product’s retail and cost price, and the software tracks inventory in real time. You’ll know the instant your Botox supply runs low and receive alerts to preempt any client disappointment. Recording dosage amounts and batch numbers ensures full traceability and safety—so you can focus on beautifying, not scrambling.

Client Profiles & Notes: Personalization Meets Safety

SalonLife automatically stores allergies, medical history, treatment dosages, and consent forms—all in one place. Add notes and before-and-after photos to document each procedure and build client trust. Integrated aftercare plans and ongoing client communication keep your clients satisfied and encourage repeat visits.

Calendar & Scheduling: Precise Timing Under Your Control

SalonLife’s calendar allows you to drag and drop bookings and breaks, set prep and recovery times, and manage staff schedules effortlessly. Each aesthetician can customize their service durations and prices—ideal for beginners and veterans alike. The result? A fully booked schedule, higher revenue, and less confusion.

Online Booking: Preferred by 36% of Clients

In France, 36% of clients choose a clinic mainly for its online booking option. SalonLife lets you open your booking window 24/7, customize rules (like advance notice requirements), and tailor the design (colors, language, background image). This cuts down on phone calls and brings in new clients without manual juggling.

Notifications & Client Communication: Loyalty Starts with Care

Automated notifications—confirmations, reminders, thank-you messages, and follow-up prompts—create a personalized client experience. For instance, post-filler treatment tips to reduce swelling boost satisfaction and encourage return visits. SMS reminders can cut no-shows by up to 70%.

Payment Solutions & Analytics: Seamless Checkout and Smart Decisions

Integrated payments—card, cash, or gift card—are reflected in real time. Set up deposits and cancellation fees to stabilize your revenue stream. In-depth reports reveal sales trends, top treatments, and staff performance, empowering you to make data-driven decisions and launch targeted promotions.

Marketplace: Free Marketing to French Clients

SalonLife’s Marketplace (SalonLife Connect) links your clinic with thousands of potential clients at no extra cost. Statistics show that nearly 28% of bookings come directly from the Marketplace—without any commission fees. It’s the perfect way to showcase before-and-after photos, gather verified reviews, and attract clients searching specifically for French aesthetic services.
