The challenges facing beauty therapists

  • Long treatments no-showed

    A ninety-minute facial cancelled the same morning is a day that will not be made up.

  • The phone during a wax

    You do not pick up in the middle of a treatment. Missed calls are lost clients, not messages to return.

  • December gift vouchers

    Sold from a paper book, they come back in March with nobody sure whether they have already been used.

  • Rooms and equipment that clash

    Two treatments needing the same room booked at the same hour: the diary does not know, you do, too late.

  • Empty Tuesdays

    Saturdays overflow, Tuesdays are dead, and nothing nudges a client to come midweek.

  • Forgotten preferences

    The product that irritates her, her usual shade, the length she prefers: you could hold that for thirty clients, not three hundred.

Practical guide: Beauty therapists

  1. Ask for a deposit on any treatment over an hour: it makes more difference than anything else in a salon diary.
  2. Sell your gift vouchers online in November: they settle themselves and the balance is tracked automatically.
  3. Create a "Tuesday" promo code at twenty per cent off: filling an empty room at a reduced price beats an empty room.
  4. Declare your rooms as resources if you have more than one: Kagenda will never sell two treatments in the same space at the same time.
  5. Add a booking question about allergies: you ask once, it stays on file.
  6. Ask for a Google review three days after the treatment; that is when she is happiest and most available.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ask for a deposit at booking?

Yes, a fixed amount or a percentage, service by service.

Can I sell gift vouchers?

Yes, online, with the balance tracked automatically.

How do I manage several rooms?

By declaring each one as a resource.

Can I run promotions on quiet slots?

Yes, with a promo code limited to the days and hours you choose.

Can my clients cancel on their own?

Yes, from the confirmation link, within the notice period you set.

Can I have several therapists?

Yes, each with their own diary and services.

Are SMS reminders included?

Email reminders are included. SMS runs on credits bought separately.

Do I need a licence to work as a beauty therapist in the UK?

Beauty therapy is not a regulated profession and no qualification is required by law, though insurers will not write treatment cover without accredited training. Premises are where the obligations sit. In a London borough, a special treatment licence under the London Local Authorities Act 1991 covers massage and most beauty treatments. Outside London, registration with the council under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 is required for electrolysis, ear piercing, tattooing and acupuncture; Wales now operates a mandatory special procedures licence. Add public liability and treatment insurance, and product compliance under the UK Cosmetic Products Regulation.
