From sign-up to your first appointment: the order in which to set up hours, team and services so you can start working the same day.

The salon account lives on the server: reception, the treatment room and your phone see the same calendar and the same till, instantly.

The catalogue is the piece the calendar, the POS and your public page hang from. Here's how to approach categories, lengths and prices.

Day or week view, one column per professional, colour-coded statuses and a form that tells you why an appointment won't fit.

A message before the appointment, with buttons to confirm or cancel, is the cheapest way to reduce no-shows. Here's how to turn it on.

“Stylist's free time” turns processing minutes into bookable slots. That's how you gain one more appointment per colourist per day.

Set up the salon's hours and each professional's shifts once, and the calendar and online booking stop offering slots that don't exist.

Details, preferences, hair profile, history with formulas and next appointment: all on one screen and with no save button.

Photos are the best technical record of a colour. TonoLab only lets you upload them if the client has authorised their use, and hides them if they withdraw it.

Today's appointment loads itself into the receipt, you add the products, choose the payment method and you're done: sale recorded, appointment completed and stock deducted.

Your iPhone becomes the terminal: the client holds their card or phone near it and the sale goes into the till. What you need and how to take payment.

Services and products on one receipt, stock that updates itself and a clear figure for how much retail brings in each month.

Don't run out of developer on a Saturday: every product with its minimum, every movement with its reason and an alert when something runs low.

TonoLab groups what is below its minimum by supplier and suggests how much to order. You copy the text and send it.

Session packages with a price, a validity period and a record of what is left. Sold at the counter and redeemed from the POS.

Decide how many points each euro earns and how much each point is worth. The POS adds them up and redeems them as a discount on the same receipt.

Services, prices, photos, opening hours and reviews on a page that updates itself when you change something in your dashboard.

Your clients book at any time and you decide the interval, the notice period, the maximum booking window and the cancellation rules.

In TonoLab, only clients with an account who have already had an appointment with you can write a review. Less noise, more trust.

With their account, each client sees their next appointment, changes or cancels it within the deadline and saves their favourite salons.

Revenue, average receipt, top-selling services, performance by professional and appointment status, without filling in a single spreadsheet.

Note down rent, suppliers and utilities, repeat fixed costs with one click and compare what you charged with what you paid.

Appointments to confirm, products below minimum, pending payments and packages about to expire, in a single inbox.

Where the salon's data is stored, how to download a full copy and what to do if you forget your password.

Each professional with their days, their shift and their services; their own column in the calendar and their numbers in Analytics.

With a photo of the client and another of the hair they want, the Copilot generates a simulation of how it would look in seconds.

Two photos, your hair colour brand and the technique: the Copilot suggests a mix in grams, developer, timings and warnings.

A photo before the service and a clear verdict: suitable, with caution or not recommended, with the reason and the alternative.

From a front-facing portrait, the Copilot studies the shape of the face and colour harmony and recommends cuts and shades.

Several looks, the preparation calendar up to the wedding, the schedule for the day and a portrait generated with each hairstyle.

From the colour consultation to a bride's first visit: when it is worth opening each tool.
