Modern AI website + direct bookings + flat pricing. No desktop software required.
Da Vinci SalonSoftware was built for desktop computers — the software runs locally on a Windows machine at your salon. If your clients expect to book from their phone at midnight, or if you want to check your calendar while travelling, you're out of luck. DoTheBeauty is cloud-based and fully mobile-optimised for both you and your clients.
Da Vinci offers a basic 'mini website' via kapperswebsite.nl — essentially a booking landing page. It is not a real salon website with your own branding, a photo gallery, service pages, and SEO. DoTheBeauty builds a full professional salon website in under 10 minutes using AI, included in every plan.
Da Vinci's team plans start at €48.50/mo and go up to €86/mo. If you want the complete solo plan with all modules, that's €61.50/mo for one stylist. DoTheBeauty Growth covers up to 8 team members for a flat €49/mo — no extra charge per stylist added.
When a client wants a colour treatment with one stylist and a cut with another — all in one visit — Da Vinci cannot schedule this automatically. You coordinate manually or ask the client to make two separate bookings. DoTheBeauty handles mixed bookings natively: clients pick their services and stylists, the system finds a shared time slot, and it's done in one flow.
Da Vinci was built for and around the Dutch market. Its VAT filing tools, admin modules, and support structures are designed specifically for Dutch regulations. If you run a salon outside the Netherlands — in London, Bali, Berlin, or anywhere else — Da Vinci is a product that was never designed for you. DoTheBeauty works across the EU, UK, and Southeast Asia.
