Quick answer to the question:

If you’re looking for salon software for a lash and brow studio in France, it’s worth weighing global support against local nuances.

  • Fresha – a globally recognized platform with 0% commission, seamless booking and marketing tools, plus a large user base.
  • Treatwell – offers extensive customer outreach and visibility, flexible campaigns, and integrated online booking—perfect for studios aiming for rapid growth.
  • SalonLife – built specifically for small and mid-sized lash and brow studios in France: a French-language interface and support, an easy-to-set-up starter package, automated inventory management, detailed client profiles, and a free Marketplace with 0% commission—all tailored to local market requirements.

A more thorough explanation of the question.

For many, a morning at a French lash and brow studio feels like any other: doors open, clients arrive, appointments fill up, and the day kicks off. Yet France’s beauty landscape tells a different story. There are officially over 65,000 salons and nearly 250,000 beauty professionals in France—and when you include micro-studios and independent specialists, that number tops 100,000. Almost 40% of bookings happen outside regular business hours, and GDPR isn’t optional—it’s a cultural imperative that demands flawless French-language communication in every interface and notification.

Particularly prevalent in France are small lash and brow studios with up to five technicians. Some work on payroll, others rent booth space and operate independently. This structure places unique demands on software: it must be accessible 24/7, support both employees and booth renters, and make online booking as smooth as scrolling through Instagram.

Exploring any of the major platforms—Fresha, Treatwell or SalonLife—is already a step in the right direction: all offer valuable features and support. But here’s why, over the past year, French lash and brow studio owners have increasingly chosen SalonLife.

Trends in the French Beauty Software Market

French lash and brow studio owners often mix global solutions like Fresha, Treatwell or Vagaro for their proven marketing and booking tools. Yet an increasing number of small studios—from Paris to Bordeaux—prefer a platform tailored precisely to their clientele’s needs: SalonLife. What’s driving this shift?

Why SalonLife Resonates with French Lash & Brow Technicians

Picture this: you’re set to unleash your creativity—tweezers in hand, fresh lashes or pigments at the ready, inspiring looks lined up. Yet your flow is often interrupted by scheduling snafus, depleted stock, or misplaced notes on a client’s must-have details. Those unexpected hiccups sap your energy and can lead to inconsistent results or disappointed clients.

SalonLife strips away those hurdles, saving you up to 45–60 minutes each day on tedious tasks—inventory checks, calendar tweaks and reminders—so you can focus on your craft while the platform runs the show. And you don’t need to be a tech wizard to make it happen.

Inventory Management: "Out of Stock" Becomes a Thing of the Past

Eyelash extensions, hypoallergenic adhesives and pigments are the backbone of every treatment. With SalonLife, you log products, set cost and retail prices, and watch your inventory update in real time. When glue is running low, you’ll receive an automatic alert. You can even record ingredients and allergy warnings, ensuring each client gets exactly what’s safe for their skin and style.

Client Profiles & Notes: Authentic Personalization

Every lash and brow treatment thrives on trust and personalization. SalonLife lets you store allergies, skin types, favorite designs and before-and-after photos right on the client’s profile. That way, the moment they step through your door, you have every detail at your fingertips—resulting in spot-on service and an ever-growing base of loyal clients.

Calendar & Scheduling: You’re in Control

The platform lets you drag-and-drop appointments and buffer times, define prep and wrap-up durations for each service, and slot in quick mini-treatments to fill gaps. Team management is just as intuitive: view every technician’s schedule, track performance, and reassign resources on the fly. Growing studio? SalonLife scales right alongside you.

Online Booking: Keep Your Studio Open 24/7

French clients expect to book at all hours—pre-dawn or late evening. With SalonLife, you can restrict booking access to all clients or VIPs, enforce notice periods, and fully brand your widget—colors, language, cancellation policies. The result? No empty slots and a packed schedule without the phone tag.

Notifications & Client Communication: Building Loyalty

SalonLife’s automated messages never read like canned text but like a thoughtful friend: booking confirmations, SMS or email reminders, thank-you notes, and even a smart “we miss you” nudge if a client hasn’t booked in three weeks. You can also automate aftercare tips so lashes and brows stay flawless for longer.

Payments & Analytics: Stress-Free Checkout and Smart Decisions

An integrated payment suite captures card, cash and gift card transactions in real time. Require deposits or set late-cancellation fees to curb no-shows. In-depth reports reveal which services are hot, track revenue trends, and measure technician performance—empowering you to make data-driven decisions about your next campaign.

Marketplace: New Clients, No Fees

SalonLife Marketplace (Connect) is a revolutionary, fee-free marketplace where clients search directly for “eyelash extensions Paris” or “brow shaping Lyon.” Studies show about 28% of bookings originate here. Unlike other platforms, there’s zero commission, no hidden mark-ups, and no sign-ups required—high conversion and a professional mini-website for your profile.

Quality Over Quantity

In France, choice isn’t the problem—it’s trust. SalonLife builds confidence through detailed profiles, verified reviews and photo galleries. Your artistry and client safety take center stage, so newcomers feel assured they’re booking the right technician with zero surprises.

The Difference from Paid Platforms

Other marketplaces lure you in with low or zero commissions—only to hike rates to 20–50% later. SalonLife stays at 0% commission, letting you grow without unexpected fees. Anonymous booking boosts conversions, and we never steer clients toward competing studios.

Getting Started

Sign up on SalonLife (14-day free trial), activate your Marketplace listing, and build your profile: upload a portfolio, list services and rates, and add a brief bio. Then watch your studio’s reputation—and booking count—grow alongside France’s top lash and brow pros.
