Quick answer to the question:
When looking for the right salon software for your depilation specialist in Estonia, we recommend these three popular options:
- Fresha: a globally recognized platform with 0% commission fees, an extensive booking network, and marketing support—ideal for building a large client base.
- Treatwell: an international solution that delivers outstanding salon visibility, flexible booking rules, and a powerful marketing channel.
- SalonLife: software tailored specifically for small and medium-sized depilation salons in Estonia:
- quick setup and Estonian user interface
- 24/7 online booking, automated reminders, and discreet confirmations
- product and client management with allergy and skin-sensitivity protocols
- SalonLife Marketplace to attract new clients with zero commission fees
Each platform meets the specific requirements of the Estonian market and beauty services, ensuring a smooth day for both specialist and client.
A more thorough explanation of the question.
You might assume that a depilation studio in Tallinn starts its morning much like those in Sydney or Boston – the doors open, clients arrive, slots fill up, and the day gently rolls on. But by midday it becomes clear that Estonian salons play in a league of their own. Over 7,500 salons (officially 6,061 registered businesses) operate under the guidance of nearly 16,000 beauty professionals – that’s about 1.2% of the entire population. Close to 46% of all bookings happen after the salon’s doors are locked for the day, and digital services are the norm: internet usage soars to 93.7%. On top of that, GDPR here guards privacy as rigorously as a border officer, and every app button, automatic message, and notification demands impeccable Estonian-language service.
What sets Estonian depilation salons apart even more is that most studios are small – up to five members – and have a mixed staffing model: some specialists are employed on payroll, while others simply rent a workspace and operate independently. This mix means an Estonian depilation specialist doesn’t just need some popular “one-size-fits-all” salon software, but a platform designed around their rhythm and needs. The software must be available 24/7, make online booking as seamless as scrolling Instagram, support both salaried and rental-chair specialists, and ensure full data security in line with Europe’s strict GDPR requirements.
Next, let’s see why SalonLife has gained special popularity and praise among Estonian depilation specialists over the past year.
Why is SalonLife the dream software for every depilation specialist and a true game-changer?
Imagine your workday as a depilation specialist: you step into the salon each morning full of motivation, ready to deliver smooth, painless hair removal that leaves clients’ skin silky and satisfied. In reality, though, small hassles – a messed-up schedule, running out of wax or creams, or misplaced notes on a client’s skin sensitivity – drain your energy and overshadow your professional skill.
Many depilation specialists share these frustrations, especially since the work is intimate and sensitive, relying on clients’ regular visits and peaking seasons like summer or party periods. But what if there were software that not only keeps everything organized but also brings in new clients automatically, at no extra cost? That’s SalonLife – a smart system built specifically for beauty professionals, including depilation specialists. It frees up your time for procedures, optimizes daily tasks, and helps your salon grow.
I’ve thoroughly tested and explored the platform and can confirm it covers everything you need: from inventory management and client communication to flexible bookings. Plus, SalonLife’s Marketplace (also known as SalonLife Connect) is a revolutionary feature that makes your business visible to thousands of potential clients for free. The platform is easy to use even for beginners, backed by excellent customer support, and available both online (salon.life) and on mobile. Below, we dive into the features that transform depilation specialists’ everyday workflows, tailored to industry specifics like sensitive skin care, safety, and aftercare.
Product Management: Avoid “out of stock” moments and optimize costs
In depilation services, product management is critical – running out of wax, cream, or soothing lotion can interrupt a procedure and disappoint a client, especially in intimate areas where precision is key. I remember telling a client her preferred hypoallergenic wax was out, then scrambling to improvise another solution. It was embarrassing and chipped away at trust.
SalonLife makes this simple: add your products to the system, set retail and cost prices, and the software automatically tracks inventory. It accounts for usage per staff member, sends alerts for low-stock items, and allocates products to bookings in real time. Differentiate between retail products (e.g., skincare items taken home by clients, which appear on invoices) and consumables (e.g., wax used during a procedure) to minimize waste and refine your purchasing plan. A new feature integrates a product ingredient database to automatically check compatibility with client allergies – ensuring safety and reducing complications. The result? Confidence that you can focus on procedures, not logistics.
Client Profiles and Notes: Make every service personal and safe
Depilation is a sensitive field where success hinges on trust and personalization. You need to remember skin sensitivities, pain tolerance, allergies (e.g., to certain waxes or creams), and skin conditions to tailor procedures and prevent irritation. Forgotten details can lead to redness or an allergic reaction.
SalonLife’s client database stores all essential information under each profile: allergies, skin types, pain thresholds, and preferences appear automatically at booking. Add notes with specific details (e.g., the reaction from the last treatment or a recommended product) and photos – “before” and “after” images document skin condition, showcase progress, and encourage clients to share on social media. A new feature offers integrated consent forms and visit history tracking to monitor repeat visits and skin responses – providing legal protection and helping you recommend personalized aftercare plans. Client feedback also shows that clear scheduling and a personalized approach have boosted satisfaction and increased client retention.
Calendar and Scheduling: Control in your hands
Depilation procedures can take time and require preparation, especially in intimate areas where privacy and comfort are paramount. A personal calendar lets you drag and drop to add, modify, or copy bookings and breaks – the mobile version is perfect for when you’re on the move. Set preparation and wrap-up times for services to build in buffers and avoid empty slots or double bookings.
In staff management, assign roles, monitor schedules, and track performance. Each specialist can set their service prices and durations, suitable for different levels of expertise or custom packages. The platform scales with your studio, offering simple bookings through to advanced analytics. The outcome is an optimized schedule, higher revenue, and less confusion, all while accounting for precise procedure lengths.
Online Booking: A salon that never closes
Modern clients book at any hour – midnight or Sunday, especially before the summer season. SalonLife puts the control in your hands: open booking to everyone or restrict it to regular clients (e.g., with secret codes). Define rules (e.g., notice periods, booking windows) to avoid gaps, only showing available slots.
Customize the design (colors, language, background) and include terms (e.g., cancellation policy or consent for intimate services). This fills your schedule without phone calls, brings in new clients, and saves time – particularly valuable for depilation specialists who need discretion.
Notifications and Client Communication: Keep clients loyal and informed
In depilation, aftercare is key: automatic notifications (confirmation, reminder, thank-you note, recall) feel personal and maintain the connection. For example, send an email with skincare tips (e.g., moisturizing to avoid irritation) or a recall message three months after the last visit. A new feature offers custom aftercare templates that reduce complaints and boost satisfaction.
We also introduce SMS reminders, which studies show reduce no-shows by 50–70%. Estonian depilation specialists report saving an average of 45–60 minutes daily on admin tasks thanks to SalonLife handling these tasks.
Payment Solutions and Analytics: Hassle-free payments and smart decisions
Integrated payments (card, cash, gift card) sync to the booking in real time, ensuring accurate accounting. Set up deposits (e.g., for new clients) or late-cancellation fees to stabilize income, especially for seasonal services.
Analytics deliver reports on sales, popular services (e.g., Brazilian wax), and performance. Launch campaigns, gift cards, and loyalty programs to grow your business with data-driven insights, spotting trends like frequent allergy cases. Our data shows that the average depilation specialist using SalonLife actively for a year earns €1,173.08 more each month, compared to the previous year.
Marketplace: Attract new clients for free and smartly
As a depilation specialist, you know how difficult it is to find new clients – especially when services are intimate and rely on trust, not regular visits like hair salons. Social media can help, but you’re competing with thousands of posts and spending time on ads. What if a platform brought clients right to your door, with no cost per lead?
Here enters SalonLife’s Marketplace (also known as SalonLife Connect), a revolutionary marketplace connecting beauty professionals, including depilation specialists, with thousands of potential clients. It’s not just a directory but a full-featured platform built specifically for beauty industry pros. The Marketplace is available on salon.life and integrates seamlessly with the core software. The platform actively promotes beauty services to over 150,000 clients, and stats show about 28% of salon bookings come from there – all without advertising fees or commissions.
Your Profile as the Perfect Homepage: Everything you need in one place
One of the Marketplace’s greatest strengths is that each depilation specialist’s profile acts like a standalone, professional homepage – at no extra cost or technical skills required. It’s more than just a name and address; it’s a complete showcase giving clients all the info to make a decision:
- Core Info and Visuals: an introduction, location, and photo gallery. Show smooth results and skin condition before and after the procedure.
- Client Reviews: verified ratings and recent feedback that build trust and help new clients book with confidence.
- Services and Prices: clear, transparent pricing with duration, products used, and aftercare recommendations.
- Staff Information: photos and bios of your specialists, so clients can choose the perfect match.
- Contact and Resources: phone, email, social media links, and blog posts (e.g., “Depilation Trends in 2025”).
- Direct Booking: book an appointment in a few clicks without creating an account, boosting conversions.
Solving the “Quality Problem”: Trust Over Quantity
Many competitors offer long lists of providers that address quantity, not quality. In depilation, success relies on trust, and clients worry about pain, irritation, or hidden costs from a poor choice.
SalonLife’s Marketplace solves this quality problem. Detailed profiles provide enough information for informed decisions: photos, fresh reviews, service overviews, and secure booking. This bridges the gap between clients’ fears and your expertise, efficiently converting new clients into regulars.
How SalonLife Differs from Paid Competitors
- 0% Commission: free with no hidden fees – guaranteed no future commission hikes.
- Independent Activation: enable or disable the Marketplace and online booking separately as needed.
- Anonymous Booking: booking without an account raises conversion and keeps client data secure.
- No Competitor Promotion: the platform focuses on growing your business and client loyalty, not driving traffic to other salons.
