Can beauty salon software book multiple treatments at the same time?
Yes, stacked treatments on one client are standard in modern salon software. CelerBook supports multiple treatments per booking, for example a 60-minute facial followed by 15 minutes of brows.

Does beauty salon software send automatic email confirmations?
Yes, automatic email confirmations and reminders are standard in Dutch beauty salon software.

SMS reminders are also active and cost €0.11 ex VAT per appointment with SMS enabled, on top of the €0.25 platform rate. First 5 appointments free every month.
Which beauty salon software supports client cards with treatment history?
A digital client card with treatment history is standard at Salonized Pro, Da Vinci and CelerBook. It stores the full treatment history, allergy notes and treatment notes per client, within the GDPR retention term of 7 years for tax data and 15 years for allergy information. Access and deletion requests are processed within 30 days. The rate stays €0.25 per appointment, capped at €30 plus €5 per active staff member.
What rules apply to retaining client data under GDPR in a beauty salon?
GDPR requires a beauty salon to retain client data no longer than necessary for the purpose. Tax records require 7 years; allergy information up to 15 years per the WGBO guideline. CelerBook hosts data at Hetzner in Germany and signs a data processing agreement at signup. The salon is the data controller; the software vendor is the processor. A deletion request is executed within 30 days. No contract.
How does a no-show policy work for longer treatments in a beauty salon?
A Dutch beauty salon may charge a no-show fee for longer treatments provided the policy is clearly shown upfront. The Consumentenbond cites 25 percent of the treatment price as a common amount, especially for appointments over 60 minutes. CelerBook displays the no-show policy on every online booking and in the confirmation email. Clients pay in the salon, so the fee is invoiced afterwards. Rate: €0.25 per appointment. No contract.
