Remember the details that make every client feel known. Client Memory: Beauty Book is a client record book for independent nail techs, lash artists, estheticians and brow artists. Keep each client's history, formulas, photos and plans together on iPhone and iPad, and see what matters before they sit down. BEFORE EACH SERVICE Open a client to see sensitivities, their last service and technique, how it went, preferences, and your private note in one card. Recent birthdays, patch-test status and missed appointments appear at the top. RECORD THE SERVICE Save products, colors, lash maps, formulas, reactions, results and Before/After photos for nails, lashes, facials and brows. Reuse a previous service as a starting point and compare recent visits side by side. STAY IN TOUCH Todo shows service check-ins, birthdays this week, clients who are past their usual visit rhythm, and patch tests due for a retest. Message a client with your own templates in Messages, Mail or WhatsApp; you review every message before it is sent. PLAN THE NEXT VISIT Plan services, time and quote, add up to two reference images, share a service card, record the client's confirmation and add the appointment to your calendar. FIND CLIENTS FAST Search names, tags, notes and technique details, filter photos across clients, or type a name in iPhone Search. Fill a new client from Contacts or import several at once. TAKE REQUESTS ONLINE (SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED) Build a business website with your services, hours and portfolio, preview it before anyone sees it, and let clients send booking requests you approve yourself. You can set everything up and preview it without a subscription; a Client Memory Pro subscription is required to publish your website and portfolio and to accept new online requests. Unlimited active clients are a separate one-time purchase, Unlock Client Memory, which unlocks every on-device feature without a subscription. If a subscription ends, your clients, history, photos, templates and settings stay on your device and remain editable, and existing booking requests can still be handled. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your client book is stored on your device. Optional Personal Sync uses your private iCloud storage on your own iPhone and iPad. Export a complete backup or CSV, preview a backup before restoring it, archive clients, or turn on App Lock with Face ID or your passcode. Client Memory records information supplied by you and your clients. It does not diagnose allergies, replace patch testing, or give medical, accounting or tax advice.
