The program says “patient”, we say “client”. Is that a problem?

No. The screens use the word “patient”, but the workflow is the same: client card, booking, session plan and collections work in a salon exactly as in a clinic. You write reminder messages in your own words, so your client only ever reads the word you choose.

Is the deposit taken on the online booking page?

No. The online booking page takes no payment; the client picks a time and the booking lands in your calendar. For a booking that needs a deposit you enter the amount yourself and tell the client the amount and how to pay. When the money reaches your account you mark it received. No money passes through Clinigim.

What if a client stops coming before the package ends?

You set the rule, and the important part is stating it in writing at the sale. In Clinigim the sessions not yet done stay open in the treatment plan, and those past their planned date are marked overdue. Clients who have not come for the number of days you set gather in the recall list, where one tap opens a WhatsApp message.

How is a specialist’s commission worked out?

You give each specialist a commission rate on the Team screen. The commission report shows, for the period you choose, the specialist’s revenue and their share at that rate, and it exports to Excel for your accounts. The calculation runs on the server; nothing is added up by hand. Payouts, salaries and payroll are not handled.

Is there stock tracking?

At a basic level. Product and consumable stock is kept, purchases are recorded as expenses and the stock consumption report exports to Excel. There is no retail till, barcode scanning or till receipt; if you need those, use a retail program alongside. When you sell a product to a client in the salon, you record the sale as a transaction.

Can I open several branches?

Yes. Branches are defined under the same account and your plan sets how many you can open. Reports are taken per branch, so you see each branch’s cash and each team’s work separately. Settling the rooms, specialists and service list in the first branch before opening the second makes the step easier.

How much does it cost?

There is no separate edition for beauty salons; every specialty uses the same program and the same plans. Three plans; in Turkey 999, 1,499 and 2,499 TRY per month (October 2026), other countries see the price in their own currency. 14 days free without a card; when the trial ends the clinic is not locked out.

How are packages, sessions and deposits tracked in a salon?

In a salon, money and service do not finish on the same day. A laser hair removal or skin care package is sold today, the sessions happen over weeks and payment is completed in instalments, with a deposit somewhere in between. That is why each client needs two separate counters: sessions left and amount left.

Clinigim has no separate “package” record; you open the package on the client card as a treatment plan and each session becomes a row. You book from the row and mark it done after the session; the card shows how many sessions are done, and a session past its planned date is marked overdue. Sessions left do not count down by themselves; you do the marking.

A deposit belongs to an appointment: you enter the amount on the booking, give the client your payment details (your bank details, for example) and mark it received when the money arrives. The online booking page takes no payment; the deposit reaches your own account. The deposit collections report shows which deposit belongs to which appointment.

Notebook, spreadsheet or program: where does the difference show?

In a two-room salon a notebook works. As rooms, specialists and packages grow, keeping the same information in three places gets hard, and the mistakes surface in the evening cash count. The table shows where the difference appears.

Topic	Notebook or spreadsheet	Clinigim
Sessions left	Crossed off by hand at each visit; the client’s memory and the notebook can disagree.	The package sits in the treatment plan row by row; sessions done show on the card.
Room clashes	Two specialists can write down the same room for the same hour.	A second booking for the same room at the same time cannot be made.
Deposits	Who paid one, and for which booking, is looked up in a separate list.	The deposit belongs to the booking and shows as received or pending.
Evening cash	Cash, card and transfer are added up by hand; two POS terminals are checked separately.	Each payment is entered with its method, POS terminals are tracked apart and the end-of-day summary is ready.
Specialist commission	Counted line by line at month end.	Each specialist has a rate; the commission report is ready.
Products and consumables	Kept on a separate sheet, or not at all.	Basic stock is kept and recorded as expenses; no retail till or barcodes.

Specialists, rooms and permissions: what matters as the team grows?

A one-specialist salon and a six-room centre do not have the same problems. As the team grows two questions come first: who works in which room at what time, and who can see what. Clinigim answers them like this:

Each room has its own column in the calendar; the specialist filter shows one person’s day.
Specialists and reception join with separate permissions; the owner decides who sees revenue and cash amounts.
Quick notes are visible only to their author; information the team needs goes in the shared part of the card.
Records keep who entered them and when, so you can see later who changed a payment.
With more than one branch, branches sit under one account and reports are taken per branch. The full list is on the features page.

What to look for in beauty salon software

Ask these questions in order while you try a program. You should see each answer on screen during the trial, not hear it in a sales call.

Does it block room clashes?
A second booking for the same room at the same hour should be impossible.
Are package sessions on the client card?
When the client asks how many sessions are left, the answer should be on one screen.
Is the deposit tied to the booking?
You should see which booking a deposit belongs to and whether it has been received.
Is cash split by method?
Cash, card and transfer should be added up separately, each POS terminal on its own.
Does commission come from a report?
Month-end figures should come from a ready report, not from counting rows.
Do you decide the permissions?
The owner should decide whether reception sees revenue.
Can you take your client list in and out?
Without import from and export to Excel, you are locked in.
Can you try it without a card?
A trial should not ask for a card, and plan prices should be on the page.
