Tala is the practice manager for independent aesthetics clinics, salons, barbershops, nail bars, lash and brow studios, tattoo parlours, and other appointment-based businesses. It does the unglamorous stuff so you can spend more time with your clients and less time wrangling client notes, consent forms, aftercare, paper diaries, or apps that were clearly built for someone else. - Search any client by name to see their treatment history, notes, photos, and consent forms in one place. No more flipping between three apps and your papers to find a single treatment note. - Take notes with your voice to work hands-free, so you can talk through what you saw, what you used, and what to follow up on while you're still in the room. Tala transcribes and saves it straight to the client's details. - Capture before and after photos that stay in the client's information. Photos are stored privately and never end up in your personal photo library by accident. - Send, sign, and store consent forms inside the app. No more printing, scanning, or searching through email. - Sync your Google Calendar to see and be reminded of your bookings in one place. - Sign your team up to the Tala app so the whole business is working from one place.
