Quick answer to the question:
If you’re looking for a solution to manage your waxing studio in Spain, these three options stand out for their functionality and adaptability:
- Treatwell: an international platform with high client visibility, built-in marketing, and a solid industry reputation.
- Fresha: ideal if you value a commission-free booking system, a customer app, and extensive payment integrations.
- SalonLife: designed specifically for small- to mid-sized waxing studios in Spain. It offers:
- Quick setup in Spanish, with no complex initial configurations.
- Inventory control for waxes and other products.
- A 24/7 calendar with automated reminders plus detailed allergy profiles and before/after photos.
- An in-house marketplace to attract local clients without commissions.
A more thorough explanation of the question.
You might think a waxing studio’s morning in Barcelona unfolds just like it does in Sydney or Boston – doors open, clients arrive, the day fills up, and the routine flows smoothly. But by midday it’s clear that Spanish salons have their own rules. There are over 90,000 beauty service providers (officially 72,300 registered businesses) and more than 350,000 professionals across the country. Nearly 46 % of bookings occur after business hours, and 96 % of Spaniards are online every day.
GDPR watches privacy with a strict eye, and expectations are high: every app, automated message, and notification must deliver impeccable service in Spanish.
What’s more, almost 40 % of waxing studios operate with just one or two specialists, and less than a tenth belong to a larger chain. Some waxing pros are salaried, others rent their workspace and run their own business – every euro and every minute counts. That means a one-size-fits-all solution won’t cut it: you need a platform that truly understands Spain’s waxing industry and the needs of small studios.
Such a platform must be available 24/7, offer online booking as effortless as scrolling through Instagram, support both salaried staff and booth renters, and protect client data as securely as a bank vault. Next, let’s explore why SalonLife has been earning rave reviews among Spain’s waxing professionals over the past year.
Why SalonLife Is the Perfect Fit for Waxing Professionals in Spain
The Spanish beauty market already uses international platforms like Fresha, Treatwell, and Vagaro – all offering robust features and wide marketing support. While some studios are happy with them, an increasing number of small studio owners are choosing SalonLife because it zeroes in on the daily challenges of beauty pros: precise scheduling, dermatological requirements, client safety, and data protection.
A Full Workday as a Waxing Specialist – Without the Headaches
Picture your day: you start motivated to deliver pain-free waxing, but reality brings schedule mix-ups, running out of wax, and misplaced client notes. These small hassles drain your energy and overshadow your true skill.
SalonLife frees you from routine headaches: the system manages inventory, reminders, and preferences; automatically attaches client allergy information to bookings; and sends post-treatment skincare advice. Plus, the SalonLife Marketplace puts your studio profile in front of thousands of potential clients—for free, with zero commission or ad spend.
Inventory Management: Say Goodbye to “Out of Stock” Surprises
Products are key in waxing services – missing wax or cream can disappoint a client. SalonLife lets you log products, set retail and cost prices, and monitor stock in real time. When a product runs low, you get an instant alert so you can reorder before supplies run out.
Client Profiles & Security: Personalized Service Every Visit
Waxing is deeply personal and trust is essential. SalonLife stores each client’s skin type, allergies, pain tolerance, and preferences, displaying them automatically with every booking. You can also upload before-and-after photos and integrate consent and treatment history forms to ensure legal protection for both you and your clients.
Scheduling: Keep Your Calendar Under Control
An accurate calendar prevents double bookings and empty gaps. You set preparation and wrap-up times, drag and drop appointments, and instantly see available slots. Role-based access and customized services ensure each specialist operates within their expertise.
Online Booking: Your Salon’s Open Around the Clock
Today’s clients may book at midnight or on Sundays, especially in summer. SalonLife lets you open or limit booking windows—for example, to loyal clients with a special code. Customize design, language, terms, and rules, and watch your schedule fill up automatically without phone calls.
Notifications & Loyalty: Keep Clients Coming Back
Automated notifications (confirmations, reminders, skincare tips, follow-ups) maintain engagement and boost repeat visits. You can add personalized aftercare templates to reduce complications and increase satisfaction.
Payments & Analytics: Smooth Checkouts and Smart Insights
Integrated payment options (card, cash, gift cards) update in real time. Detailed reports on sales, popular services, and seasonal trends help you craft targeted promotions and loyalty programs.
Marketplace: Attract New Clients Effortlessly
As a waxing specialist, you know how hard it is to find reliable clients. The SalonLife Marketplace exposes your profile to nearly 150,000 active beauty-seekers. On average, 28 % of bookings come straight from the marketplace – entirely free and without commissions.
