“The usual” is the most dangerous phrase in a salon when the person serving today isn't the one who served last time. The client record exists so that “the usual” is written down.
What fits in a record
- Contact details and preferences.
- Notes: allergies, sensitivities, what they like and what they don't.
- Hair profile.
- Service history, with the colour formulas applied.
- Before and after photos, if they've given their permission.
- Their next appointment, their packages and their points.
It saves itself
There's no save button: what you type is saved instantly. Between one client and the next, with your hands half dry, you'll appreciate it.
From the record to action
Search by name or phone number and, from the record itself, book an appointment or take payment without looking the person up again. Formulas and AI Copilot analyses are saved there too, ready to repeat in six weeks' time.

- Before and after photos, with the client's permission first
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.
