Quick answer to the question:

If you’re looking for the right salon software for a small nail salon in Romania, consider these three popular options:

  • Fresha – a globally recognized platform offering simple online booking, automatic reminders, and highly competitive pricing plans. A great choice if you’re aiming for international reach.
  • Treatwell – a major marketplace and mobile app that brings in new clients at no cost. Its extensive feature set and marketing tools are ideal for fast-growing salons.
  • SalonLife – built specifically for small and mid-sized nail salons in Romania. It delivers full Romanian-language support, local servers and compliance, and easy setup (rental and payroll models, automatic inventory management, client profiles, marketplace access). Quick onboarding gives you back about an hour of daily admin time and helps generate an average of €1,173 in additional monthly revenue.

A more thorough explanation of the question.

One might assume that a manicure studio morning in Bucharest isn’t much different from those in Sydney or Boston – the doors open, clients arrive, appointments fill up, and the day gets rolling. But Romania’s beauty services market has its own quirks. Over 24,000 salons and nearly 100,000 nail technicians officially operate here, and salons don’t close until their windows display the sign “Închis.” Add in sky-high data protection expectations – where GDPR feels more like cultural code than mere regulation – and the demand for flawless Romanian-language support in every app button, automated message, and notification.

Even more: most Romanian manicure studios are small, often with up to five technicians, some on payroll and others renting their station. That means your choice of software has a direct impact on next payday or seasonal subsidies.

Whether you’ve used Fresha, Treatwell or Vagaro so far, you’ve already taken part in the digital leap. But if you’re looking for a solution built specifically for Romanian independent manicure salons, with flexible rental and payroll models in mind and full Romanian-language support, SalonLife could be the tailored partner you need. We may be new on the scene, but that lets us be transparent and honest – in our pricing and our data security – and deliver exactly what small studios truly need.

Why is SalonLife every nail technician’s dream and a genuine game-changer?

Picture your workday as a nail tech: you bring creative energy to the studio, eager to craft the perfect gel nails or acrylic sets. Yet small hiccups – a messy schedule, a missing polish, forgotten allergy notes, or a jumbled procedure – drain your workflow. Those everyday obstacles sap your energy and overshadow your real talent.

Many Romanian nail technicians face these challenges because their work depends as much on loyal clients who come back monthly as on one-off events like weddings or fashion shows. But what if software didn’t leave you to manage those details alone, and instead smartly organized your schedule, inventory, client communications and marketing? That’s SalonLife – the system that lets you focus on creativity, not routine tasks.

Beauty professionals recapture an average of 45–60 minutes each day on tasks SalonLife automates for them.
The average Romanian beauty professional actively using SalonLife for a year earns €1,173.08 more per month twelve months after adoption than in the previous year. That’s over €14,000 extra annually for just a few euros in monthly subscription fees.

Available on the web (salon.life) and mobile, the platform is intuitive even for beginners thanks to a seamless interface and local servers. Below are the key features that make daily life easier for Romanian nail and beauty technicians.

1. Product Management: Say Goodbye to Stockouts

Accurate inventory management is critical – no client wants to hear their favorite shade is out of stock. SalonLife automatically tracks products (gels, polishes, tools) by technician and color code, sends alerts, and deducts used items from inventory in real time during booking. Say goodbye to unexpected delays and waste, and keep your purchasing plan on point.

2. Client Profiles & Notes: Personalized Service Guaranteed

Save time and build trust by storing client allergies, nail types, preferences and before-and-after photos in one place. SalonLife displays these details automatically with each booking, ensuring safe and consistent service.

3. Calendar & Scheduling: A Streamlined Day, Every Day

Easily update appointments via drag-and-drop, set prep and wrap-up times, and insert break slots – all from desktop or mobile. Support for both rental and payroll models ensures every technician sets their own rates and durations.

4. Online Booking: Salon Doors Open 24/7

Modern clients expect the option to book in the middle of the night or on Sunday. SalonLife shows available slots automatically, lets you restrict access to repeat clients or open booking publicly – all with customizable design and cancellation policies. Studies show about 60% of post-1981 consumers expect online booking.

5. Notifications & Client Communication: Stay Connected

With automated SMS and email notifications – confirmations, reminders, thank-you notes or rebooking prompts – you prevent no-shows and foster loyalty. SMS reminders alone can reduce no-shows by up to 70%.

6. Payments & Analytics: Invoicing Made Easy, Decisions Made Smarter

Card, cash and gift card payments post in real time. Analyze sales trends, top services and technician performance to plan data-driven promotions and loyalty programs.

7. Marketplace: 28% of Bookings Through the Free Platform

SalonLife Connect is a free marketplace where Romanian clients actively search for nail services. Research shows roughly 28% of SalonLife user bookings originate here – without commission fees or marketing costs, unlike some competitors. Your profile doubles as a professional page displaying photos, ratings, services and a direct-book button.

8. Quality Tailored to Your Audience: Trust Over Quantity

Clients no longer just seek options; they want safe, vetted solutions. SalonLife profiles provide ample info – photos, fresh reviews and service descriptions – so new clients feel confident and repeat visits grow.

9. Europe-Focused Support: Optimized for Romania

Unlike broader platforms, SalonLife zeroes in on European salons. All servers, currencies, regulations and language support are optimized for the Romanian market and time zone, ensuring a smooth, fast experience.
