Onboarding: Starting your Beauty Salon Software with Jimani

Congratulations! You’ve chosen Jimani to take your salon’s appointment management and payment experience to the next level. But how do you optimally set up the system? In this blog, we walk you through the process step by step, from the first login to putting your ticket widgets live.

1. Company Details and Users: Everything starts with a strong foundation. After creating your account, navigate to the settings for your company details. Here you add your company’s name, location and logo. This logo will also be used in communications to your guests. Don’t forget to add your team members as users. By making smart use of staff rights and user management, you ensure that everyone has exactly the right tools to work efficiently.
2. Language and Localization: Jimani is internationally oriented. Immediately set the desired languages for both the dashboard and the guest interface. This is essential for holiday parks with many foreign guests: after all, they book much faster in their own language.
3. Treatments and Groups: Here you define what you offer. First create treatment groups (e.g. Ladies, Gentlemen, Kids etc.) and then add the specific treatments, such as ”Wash/cut”, ”Gel nails”, or ”Massage”.
4. Extra products: Increase your revenue per appointment by offering extras during booking. Think of a nourishing hair mask or a scalp massage. The customer can add these to the treatment with one click.
5. Employees: Add your employees and link them to the treatments they perform. After all, not every hairdresser does coloring, and not every beautician does nails. By linking this, the customer only sees the available time with the right specialist online.
6. Availability and Schedules: Enter the working hours per employee. You can also schedule breaks, days off and holidays here.
7. Workstations and Capacity: In Jimani you can add workstations. You link these to the employees. Because you specify a specific NUMBER of workstations, the system prevents more people from being booked than you have chairs or tables available.
8. Customer information: Do you want to know in advance whether the customer has long or short hair, or whether there are any allergies? Add extra questions and link them to specific treatments.
9. Customer contact: A good guest experience does not stop after booking. Set up your automatic emails for confirmations, reminders or a thank you afterwards. You can fully personalize these so that they always match the atmosphere of your salon.
10. Feedback via the Survey module: Do you want to know how guests experienced their treatment? Create a survey within Jimani that is automatically sent after the reservation. This data is worth its weight in gold for improving your services.
11. Setting up payment options: Do you want to prevent no-shows? Link your payment provider to allow guests to pay (in advance) directly. This gives you certainty in advance and ensures fast processing via the Mollie payment link.
12. Installing the Widget: The last step: the widget installation. As we discussed earlier, this is a simple piece of code that you place on your website. You can completely customize the widget in your own style (white label) and place it on an unlimited number of pages.
13. Did this sound like a lot of work? Don’t worry! During registration you can choose from many sample data. Select the treatments that suit your industry and all basic settings will be loaded immediately. All you have to do is check your own prices and times.

Now you are ready for the start! With these settings, the foundation of your Jimani platform is solid. You are now ready to generate more revenue through smart combination bookings and a flawless guest experience.

One last point: The Jimani software system is complex on the back end, but not on the front end. This means that you can do this all by yourself, without help. For example, we have added a warning list. When something is not set up correctly, you will receive a warning that you can solve with 1 press of a button, which is very useful!

If you still need help, we can be reached free of charge.
