The change

From the cabin notebook to mobile control

Timlup digitises your salon routines and assigns tasks to the shift team from their mobile or the reception tablet.

Without Timlup
  • Lost papers

    Cleaning and disinfection sheets get lost or go unsigned. At the end of the day you don't know if each cabin was disinfected between clients.

  • Hygiene without records

    Without a clear record of disinfection between clients or material sterilisation, hygiene is uncertain and there's no backup for an inspection.

  • Expiry dates unchecked

    Cosmetic products and equipment are checked from memory, with no record of when or who did it.

From paper records to the Timlup app, signed with a PIN
With Timlup
  • All signed with PIN

    The team accesses from their mobile or tablet, signs each task with their personal PIN, and everything is recorded with date and time. Unalterable history.

  • Clear disinfection

    Cabin, bed, and sterilisation checklists are clear and completed without omissions. Each step is marked and signed.

  • Full traceability

    Responsibility and full traceability for health inspections: you know who did each task, when, and how. No paper or doubts.

For the salon team

This simple on their mobile or the reception tablet

No training or installations, they log in with PIN, see only their shift tasks, and sign when closing

Features

Everything your beauty salon needs, without paper

Designed for the pace of a salon with cabins, disinfection between clients, and material sterilisation.

Guided opening and closing

Each day, the team follows the opening steps: equipment, wax, linen, cabins, and alarm. At closing, the last step guides cash reconciliation and security lock-up. All signed.

Signed disinfection and hygiene

Every disinfection between clients, every sterilisation cycle, is signed with time and employee. For an inspection or complaint, you know exactly who did it and when.

PIN access at reception

Each person logs in with 4 digits on the tablet, no accounts or complicated passwords. They only see their shift tasks and sign when completed.

Recurring tasks

Set the frequency: disinfection between clients, daily sterilisation, weekly linen. They repeat automatically, no one has to remember.

Templates per cabin

Each cabin, spa, or nail area can have its own task list. Reuse protocols across the chain for consistency.

Tablet or mobile in the salon

Works in the browser, nothing to install. Reuse the reception tablet or the team's mobile. Just need a link.

How it works

Your beauty salon digitalised in an afternoon

No installations or training. Works on the reception tablet or the team's mobile.

1

Create your salon lists

Define opening, between-client disinfection, sterilisation, and closing lists. Assign each task to the corresponding cabin or area and decide who should complete it. In less than an hour your salon is set up.

2

The team completes them per shift

Each employee sees only their shift lists on the tablet or mobile. They mark tasks, sign with their PIN, and everything is recorded with date and time. No paper, no reminders, no omissions.

3

You review the day from home

At the end of the day you receive a summary with traffic lights: see what was disinfected, sterilised, and who did it. You can view the history of any task without going to the salon.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from beauty salon owners and managers

The most common doubts when adopting Timlup in beauty salons and spas.

How does cabin and bed disinfection between clients work with Timlup?
Cabin and bed disinfection between clients is included in a recurring task list. When completed, the employee signs with their PIN and can optionally attach a photo. Everything is stored in an unalterable history with date and time. It serves as backup for an inspection or complaint. So you know exactly what was done and who did it.
Is it useful for health inspections?
Yes, the signed and dated records of disinfection, sterilisation, and expiry dates provide very useful documentary traceability. However, Timlup is not a certifier; it's a tool that helps you generate and keep those records. For an inspection, you'll have a clear history showing your protocol compliance.
Does Timlup manage appointments or my salon's schedule?
No, Timlup does not manage appointments, schedule, bookings, payments, or client records. It's an operational layer for signed recurring tasks. It's designed to work alongside your usual booking software. While your booking system manages the when, Timlup ensures the cabin is ready and disinfected for each client.
Does it work for a salon with multiple cabins or a chain?
Yes, from a single dashboard you can manage multiple cabins or salons. Each location has its own history without mixing. You can create templates per cabin or per salon and assign specific tasks to each team. Deployment is quick and requires no extra infrastructure.
Do I need to install an app or buy new tablets?
No, Timlup works in the browser of any device, nothing to install. You can reuse the tablet you already have at reception or the team's mobiles. Just need a link and each person logs in with their PIN. No compatibility issues or device storage concerns.
How much does it cost and can I start for free?
Yes, we offer a Free Plan forever with no credit card needed. In an afternoon you can have your salon set up with the example beauty template, which you then adapt to your needs. The free plan includes basic features for one salon, and if you need more, there are paid plans with no commitment.
