Nick van Iersel
Founder & developer - VanIersel Development
Founder and developer of Salonnare. I build the salon software I would want to use myself - simple, affordable and made for the Dutch market.
Who I am
I am Nick van Iersel, a Dutch full-stack developer and IT consultant based in Waalwijk. I have worked on production software used daily by real users for over six years.
In 2026 I founded VanIersel Development to help businesses and entrepreneurs realize their digital ambitions, through a personal, transparent and client-focused approach.
Salonnare is my flagship project: a complete salon ERP I built from the ground up. Not a generic white-label solution, but software I maintain, develop and am personally responsible for.
My journey as a developer
Professional developer
My first developer roles, building the foundation in production software and team collaboration.
Full-stack & cloud
Specialization in backend, full-stack and cloud architecture - exactly the skill set that later made Salonnare possible.
Independent consultant
Own client projects on a fixed-price basis, focused on working software instead of endless meetings.
Founding & launch
VanIersel Development is formally founded in Waalwijk and Salonnare goes live as a multi-tenant SaaS platform.
What I know best
Full-stack development
TypeScript, React, Node.js and SQL - the complete stack behind Salonnare, from database to interface.
Privacy & GDPR
Salonnare was built GDPR-compliant from day one, including a separate encrypted vault for health data (Art. 9).
Multi-tenant SaaS
A secure, isolated architecture where each salon keeps its own data, with servers in Europe.
Dutch market
Deep knowledge of what Dutch salons need: iDEAL, VAT split, business registration and native Dutch support.
Why I build Salonnare
Salon software is often too expensive, too complicated and too generic. I believe every salon, large or small, deserves access to professional software without hassle or high costs. That is why I build and maintain Salonnare personally, with direct feedback from the salons using it.
