How do I track color and technique per client in nail studio software?

No contract.
Which nail studio software has all features in one rate?
Most providers split functions into packages, with SMS, online payments and photo uploads sold as add-ons. Salonized sells marketing separately; Da Vinci charges extra for photo uploads.

The cap is €30 plus €5 per active staff member. First 5 appointments free every month.
Can I set a custom duration per service in nail studio software?

A 90-minute gel set can be 120 minutes for a junior and 75 minutes for a senior, without the client adjusting anything. Up to 200 services per shop fit within the €0.25 per appointment rate. No contract.
How do I handle allergy forms in nail studio software?
Tracking allergy information in nail studio software is needed for clients with methacrylate or acrylate sensitivity, a growing problem according to the Dutch Society of Dermatology. CelerBook offers free-form notes on every client card where you log allergy information per client before and after each visit. Allergy data falls under the WGBO 15-year retention rule. Hosted at Hetzner in Germany, GDPR compliant. Access and deletion within 30 days. No contract.
Can a nail studio charge a no-show fee?
Yes, a Dutch nail studio may charge a no-show fee provided the policy is clearly shown upfront, under Dutch contract law. The Consumentenbond cites 25 percent of the treatment price or a flat €10 as common. CelerBook displays the no-show policy on every online booking and in the confirmation email so the client explicitly accepts the rate. Clients pay in the studio, so the fee is invoiced afterwards. No contract.
