Software for pedicurists and medical foot care
Foot care - from a relaxing pedicure to diabetic and rheumatic foot care - calls for accurate health records, follow-up appointments and solid documentation. Salonnare handles it from one platform: online booking, health notes in an encrypted GDPR vault, POS and marketing.

Online booking through your own booking page

Foot-care records in an encrypted GDPR vault
Special-category data such as diabetes, rheumatism, circulatory disorders, medication and allergies lives in a separate, encrypted vault away from regular notes. Access is role-based and every view is logged. Intake is completed digitally up front and consent is stored GDPR-compliant on EU servers - important for medical foot care and at-risk feet.
POS with iDEAL, card and automatic VAT
Take payment instantly by card, cash or a payment link with iDEAL. A regular pedicure falls under the standard VAT rate; medically necessary foot care can be VAT-exempt - Salonnare sets the right rate per treatment and splits it on one receipt. Sequential receipt number, daily revenue report and tip tracking per staff member. Receipts go to the client by email.
Fewer no-shows with deposits
Set a deposit per treatment (fixed amount or percentage), with Pro. The client pays via iDEAL or card when booking online, straight into your own account. If the client cancels in time themselves, the amount is refunded automatically via Mollie or Stripe; on a no-show or late cancellation it stays with you. A required deposit works as a clear commitment threshold and can noticeably reduce repeat no-shows - important in a practice where every empty hour costs revenue directly.
Built for the local market
Salonnare is built for foot-care practices: iDEAL payments, VAT configurable per treatment (standard rate or exempt for medical foot care), and GDPR-compliant foot-care records in a separate vault on EU servers. A fixed monthly fee with no marketplace commission on your bookings - just a platform fee of 0.5% (min. €0.30) per online payment, from €0 per month on the Free plan.

Foot-care records with health data
Per client you record: diabetes, rheumatism, circulatory disorders, medication, allergies, earlier complaints and treatments performed. At every appointment you immediately see the relevant risk factors - important for the diabetic and rheumatic foot. Health data lives in a separate, encrypted GDPR vault with access control.
Digital intake and consent
New clients complete a digital intake form before their first visit: health questions, medication, diabetes status, allergies. Consent is stored digitally, GDPR-compliant. No more paper forms; everything is linked directly to the foot-care record.
Follow-up appointments for fixed intervals
Many foot-care clients return every 6-8 weeks for maintenance. You set a rebook interval per group of treatments, and Salonnare automatically emails the client at the right moment with a link to book again. Clients reschedule or cancel themselves via the link in their email or under My appointments on your booking page.
Class passes and packages
Sell a class pass of 5 or 10 treatments as a course: the same treatment a number of times for one course price, with all sessions in the calendar right away and a course receipt that tracks what has been paid and how many sessions have taken place. With Starter you also build maintenance packages of different treatments at a fixed price. This is one of the many features Salonnare offers.
A typical day as a pedicurist with Salonnare
You start the day with the dashboard: all appointments lined up, including the health summary per client - diabetes, anticoagulants, earlier corns or nail problems. Between treatments you open the foot-care record on a tablet and log what you did: callus removed, ingrown nail treated, pressure point noticed. After the treatment the client pays at the register, receives the receipt by email and automatically gets a follow-up reminder in 6 weeks. At the end of the day you close the register with one click: daily revenue, VAT split per rate and payment types. All automatic, no paperwork.
Practical tips for pedicurists
Link an intake form to your treatments so new clients fill it in beforehand, and with returning clients just ask whether anything has changed in medication or health. Schedule follow-ups at 6-8 weeks: that is the natural maintenance rhythm for most feet. Use class passes for loyal clients - it lowers churn and secures prepaid revenue. Document pressure points and skin conditions consistently in the record so you have a complete overview when referring to a podotherapist or GP. And actively collect reviews: foot care runs largely on word of mouth and a strong online profile.
Why Salonnare for your foot-care practice?
Many pedicurists work as sole traders with a paper diary and loose intake forms. That works for a handful of clients but not as you grow or offer medical foot care with sensitive health data. Salonnare centralises everything: digital intake, foot-care records in an encrypted GDPR vault, follow-up appointments, automatic reminders and an iDEAL POS - with no marketplace commission, just a platform fee of 0.5% (min. €0.30) per online payment. The Free plan is free for solo pedicurists. View the pricing or read more about us.
Tax specifics: VAT, receipts and medical foot care
A regular, cosmetic pedicure falls under the standard VAT rate. Medically necessary foot care - for example diabetic or rheumatic foot care on referral - can be VAT-exempt where it qualifies as a medical service. Salonnare supports both: per treatment you set the right rate, so "cosmetic pedicure" carries standard VAT and "diabetic foot care on referral" can be exempt. The receipt shows this clearly split and the daily report aggregates revenue per rate. The tax authority may request additional documentation for exempt foot care (referral, treatment plan). Salonnare lets you keep a record per client where referral letters are stored GDPR-compliant. Every transaction gets a sequential receipt number, timestamp and user identification. Cash rounding follows the official rule automatically. Export to your accounting package runs via CSV in the format of common bookkeeping tools.
Seasonal peaks: spring, summer and the holidays
Foot-care practices have clear seasonal peaks. Spring is traditionally busy: clients prepare their feet for sandal season. Summer peaks the cosmetic pedicure with bare feet and holidays. November-December is gift-card season: digital gift cards for a pedicure are a popular present and can make up a meaningful share of December revenue. Gift cards (Starter) you sell at the POS: each card gets a unique code and can be emailed to the buyer. The waitlist catches peak drop-outs: when an appointment drops out, the client who has been waiting longest and fits automatically gets an email - the difference between an empty afternoon and a full schedule. In quiet periods promotions keep your calendar full. View all marketing features Salonnare offers to automate seasonal campaigns.
From sole trader to foot-care practice: scaling as a pedicurist
Many pedicurists start as solo sole traders on the Free plan (€0, 1 staff member, 50 bookings per month) and move to Starter (€29) once they pass the 50-booking limit. The next growth step is a second pedicurist or a podotherapist in a shared practice space. The Starter plan supports 3 staff members, the Pro plan unlimited. In a shared practice each practitioner has their own schedule; clients book through the same widget and choose a specific practitioner or "no preference". Health notes are visible only to staff members you give that right - important for medical treatments with sensitive health data. Reporting shows revenue and appointments per practitioner so you quickly see who is lagging commercially or overloaded. Multiple locations under one account is not possible yet; that feature is marked "coming soon". View the pricing plans for details per tier.
Frequently asked questions about pedicure software
Is Salonnare suitable for medical foot care with health data?
Yes. Health data such as diabetes, rheumatism, medication and allergies lives in a separate, encrypted vault away from regular notes. Only staff members you give that right have access, and every view is logged. Everything is on EU servers.
Can I set a different VAT rate per treatment?
Yes. Per treatment you choose the rate, and you can add rates yourself. A cosmetic pedicure falls under the standard rate; medical foot care may qualify for an exemption, check that with your accountant. Salonnare splits the VAT automatically on the receipt and in the reporting.
Can follow-up appointments be proposed automatically?
Yes. In the rebook reminder you set an interval per group of treatments, for example 6-8 weeks for a maintenance treatment. Salonnare automatically emails the client at that moment with a link to book again. Clients reschedule or cancel an appointment themselves via the link in their email or under My appointments on your booking page.
Does it work with class passes for regular clients?
Yes, as a course: you offer the same treatment a number of times for one course price, for example 5 or 10 sessions. All sessions are in the calendar right away and the course receipt tracks what has been paid and how many sessions have taken place. With Starter you can also bundle different treatments in a package.
Is Salonnare suitable for a mobile pedicurist?
Salonnare has no separate setting for treatments at the client’s home. If you work at clients’ homes, you simply schedule the appointments in your calendar; the address is in the client profile, so you find it with the appointment. The Free plan (1 staff member, 50 appointments per month) is enough to start that way.
Can I store referral letters and treatment plans per client?
Yes. You add an attachment, such as a referral letter or treatment plan, to a health note in the vault; it is stored encrypted. An admin can export the complete record per client as a data file (JSON). Only share health data with your client’s consent.
Which payment terminal can I connect to the POS?
You connect a SumUp card reader or a Mollie card terminal: the POS sends the amount to the device and completes the receipt as soon as the payment is in. You can keep using another card terminal; then you choose Card in the POS and enter the amount on the terminal yourself. The client can also pay with a payment link (QR code) via Mollie or Stripe, straight into your own account.
Does Salonnare work with a receipt printer for physical receipts?
Salonnare has no receipt printer integration. The receipt is emailed to the client, with a sequential receipt number and VAT per rate, and it is also kept in the receipt history of your POS.
