Quick answer to the question:

If you’re looking for the right salon software for your small massage clinic in Turkey, consider the following options:

  • Fresha – a globally popular free booking solution offering a basic calendar and SMS/email notifications. Ideal for those already working internationally and seeking a simple start.
  • Treatwell – a robust European platform that helps salons reach new clients and provides customizable campaign options. Great if you focus primarily on online bookings and marketing.
  • SalonLife – tailored to the Turkish market and the workflow of massage therapists:
    • Turkish-language interface and guaranteed compliance with local data protection regulations (KVKK level).
    • 0% commission fee and free client traffic through the Marketplace.
    • Easy setup for small to mid-sized salons (up to 5 therapists).
    • Real-time inventory management, automated notifications, and a SOAP-based note support system.
    • Saves you 45–60 minutes per day on routine tasks so you can focus on therapy.

A more thorough explanation of the question.

You might assume that a morning at an Istanbul massage clinic looks much like one in Sydney or Boston – doors open, clients arrive, appointments fill up, and the day kicks off. But Turkey’s health and beauty market plays by its own rules: officially there are nearly 80,000 salons and more than 350,000 beauty professionals, many of whom only plan their days after their salons close. In Turkey, the data protection law (KVKK) is more a cultural code than a mere regulation, and every button, automated message, and notification must be in Turkish.

Most massage studios are small – up to five therapists, some salaried, others renting a spot. Every software choice affects their next payday. That’s why a massage therapist in Turkey needs a platform built specifically with Turkey’s privacy, language, and flexibility requirements in mind.

Here’s why more and more Turkish massage therapists – whether they’ve previously used Fresha, Treatwell, or Vagaro – are giving SalonLife a try and raving about its seamless experience, security, and local support.

Why SalonLife Is the Perfect Choice for Every Turkish Massage Therapist

Imagine your workday as a massage therapist: you walk into the salon with a sense of calm energy, ready to ease your clients’ tensions and offer healing relaxation. Yet tangled schedules, empty product supplies, or misplaced notes often get in your way. This is where SalonLife steps in: an intelligent system that brings together inventory control, calendar and booking management, client communication, and new client acquisition into one unified platform.

Turkish massage therapists report saving 45–60 minutes each day on routine tasks with SalonLife – time you can dedicate to therapy or honing new skills.

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

Products are vital in massage therapy – from lavender oil and hot stones to creams. In SalonLife, you add items with both sale and cost prices, and the software monitors stock levels in real time. If something starts running low, you receive a notification before the client arrives. Plus, the system differentiates between retail items and consumables, reducing waste and keeping your budget under control.

Client Profiles and Notes: Making Every Treatment Truly Personal

Trust and safety are the cornerstones of a therapist’s work. SalonLife saves medical history, injuries, technique preferences, and SOAP notes directly alongside bookings. You can upload “before” and “after” photos, track changes in muscle tension, and pin down critical details like allergies. Data is protected with KVKK-like security rules, giving both you and your clients peace of mind.

Calendar and Scheduling: Keeping Your Timetable in Check

Massage sessions demand precise timing and privacy. SalonLife’s drag-and-drop calendar module lets you add or shift appointments and prep times to avoid gaps. Staff roles and room reservations ensure each therapist has the right time slots and equipment.

Online Booking: Your Salon Open 24/7

Modern clients expect the ability to book at 11 pm or on weekends. SalonLife lets you open your schedule to everyone or restrict it to regulars, set notice periods, and include special conditions (e.g., cancellation policies, medical consents)—all in the language your clients love.

Notifications and Communication: Stay Connected and Encourage Loyalty

Automated notifications (booking confirmations, SMS reminders, follow-up emails with stretching exercises) make communication feel personal and proactive. Statistics show reminders reduce no-shows by up to 70% and help clients maintain a regular routine.

Payment Solutions and Analytics: Smooth Checkouts and Smart Decisions

Integrated payments (card, cash, gift cards) are linked to each booking for accuracy and transparency. With the analytics dashboard, you can monitor revenue, top services, and campaign performance to plan data-driven strategies.

Marketplace: Attract New Clients—for Free and Wisely

SalonLife Connect, our Marketplace, places your services in front of thousands of searching clients—without spending a cent on ads. Statistics show nearly 28% of bookings come through this channel. The platform charges no commission and doesn’t bind you to hidden terms.

Your Profile as the Perfect Homepage

  • Main info and gallery: salon photos, massage techniques, and visuals.
  • Verified reviews: up-to-date client ratings, average scores, and testimonials.
  • Service catalog: from Swedish massage to reflexology, complete with prices and durations.
  • Therapists and specialties: photos, bios, and expertise.
  • Direct booking: a two-click process without account creation, boosting conversion by up to 20%.

The “Quality Over Quantity” Solution: Trust Above All

The market may be flooded with massage services, but clients aren’t worried about choice—they want a safe, professional experience. SalonLife’s detailed profiles—photos, up-to-date reviews, and service specifics—give clients confidence and help your clinic stand out.

How SalonLife Stands Out from Paid Competitors

Major marketplaces like Fresha or Treatwell promise low fees at first but often ramp up commissions to 20–50% over time. SalonLife remains at 0% commission and independent: join the Marketplace whenever you like, and your clients don’t need an account. We won’t market other salons to your clients or hide terms—our focus is on growing your business.
