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. Salonnare can propose a follow-up appointment at checkout and sends a reminder at the right time. Clients can reschedule or cancel themselves via an email link.

Class passes and packages

Sell class passes of 5 or 10 treatments with automatic deduction on each booking, or build maintenance packages. Expiry dates, reminders and re-order nudges when the pass is nearly used up. 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

Set a mandatory intake for new clients and a shortened check-in for returning ones - 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 commission. 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. Salonnare shows gift cards prominently on the booking page with suggested amounts and personalised messages. The waitlist catches peak drop-outs: when someone cancels within 24 hours, the first person on the list automatically gets an email notification - 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 availability, treatments and prices; clients book through the same widget and choose a specific practitioner or "first available". Foot-care records can be shielded per practitioner - important for medical treatments with sensitive health data. Reporting shows revenue, occupancy and retention per practitioner so you quickly see who is lagging commercially or overloaded. Multi-location is on the roadmap and is coming soon for pedicurists growing to a second site. View the pricing plans for details per tier.
