In Telki, there is a unique beauty salon that embodies high standards and professionalism. It welcomes its clients in an elegant setting, prioritizing quality and pampering in every single detail. It stands out not only in its treatments, but throughout every part of the guest experience—including the option of simple, convenient online appointment booking.
In this blog post, we showcase how Szandra Deli-Szilágyi used Minup to make Szandíva Beauty Salon even more premium and convenient.
The secret to success: high standards and an online presence
Szandi had long dreamed of having her own beauty salon. Three years ago, she finally opened her studio, which specializes in body and facial treatments, as well as laser hair removal.
"I created the kind of salon that I would gladly visit myself: a beautiful environment, excellent services, a friendly beautician, and the option for online booking!"
Although Szandi opened near the end of COVID, she was able to build up her clientele quickly. From the beginning, it was important to her that people got to know her, and her social media presence played a major role in that. As she highlighted, this profession requires an intimate connection, making it essential for prospective clients not only to see her services, but to get to know her as a person—associating a face, voice, and personal style with the brand.
"In my personal life, I’m not much of a Facebook user, but in business, I consider it indispensable."
Right from the opening, she invested serious energy and money into staying active on Facebook and Instagram. That was how she reached her clients, spanning from younger demographics all the way to older clients.
The benefits of online appointment booking for clients with young children
Previously, appointments had to be booked by phone or via Messenger. However, due to her clients' busy schedules, coordinating the calendar became increasingly difficult for Szandi. This motivated her to switch to an online booking system, which proved to be a huge relief, particularly for mothers with young children.
"Most of my clients are mothers with young children who can only visit when the kids are at daycare or school, or when their husband is watching them. They usually sort out their appointments in the evening after putting the kids to bed, so the option to book online is a massive help: they can immediately see the available slots without having to exchange multiple messages back and forth to settle on a time."
Clarity and simplicity through online booking
She chose the Minup online booking system based on a client's recommendation. Szandi especially appreciates being able to list her services in detail on Minup, giving her clients a clear and transparent overview. While the system can sync with Google Calendar, Szandi now manages all her schedules directly within Minup.
"I even enter my personal plans into Minup now, so everything is clear and easy to track."
Thanks to Minup's Client Management feature, Szandi can see exactly how many clients she has had and which services they booked. She also loves how flexibly she can configure her working hours. In Szandi's experience, new clients can also book online with ease, and if anyone is ever unsure, they discuss the details in person.
"Ninety-five percent of my clients book through the online system, and even the older generation adapted quickly to the new platform."
Szandra Deli-Szilágyi’s beauty salon is an exemplary model of how modern solutions can make a studio even more attractive and accessible. Introducing online appointment booking not only serves her clients' convenience, but also contributes to the smooth day-to-day operation of the salon.
The success of Szandíva lies in attention to every detail and providing clients with the highest possible standard of service—whether it is the treatments themselves or a seamless booking process. Such innovative solutions combined with a client-first mindset ensure that Szandi’s salon will remain thriving and continue to welcome satisfied clients in the future.
