Safety Checks That Run Before the Booking Exists
Contraindications cause harm when they're discovered too late — in the chair, mid-consultation, or worse, after treatment. LightDay's world-first real-time contraindication engine screens at the moment of booking, surfacing risks while there's still time to act on them.
£59.99/month for salons, £69.99/month for clinics — every feature included
Screening at the point of booking
Client indicators — allergies, medical conditions, sensitivities — are checked against the treatment being booked in real time. Risk flags appear before the booking is confirmed, so your team consults, adjusts or declines with full information, and clients are never booked into treatments their history says they shouldn't have.
A safety culture the paperwork can prove
Combined with enforced consent forms, complaint alerts and the audit log, contraindication screening gives you a documented safety process — the kind regulators, insurers and clients increasingly expect. It's included as standard with every LightDay plan, because safety shouldn't be an upsell.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a contraindication engine?
A system that automatically checks a client's recorded conditions, allergies and history against the treatment being booked, and flags risks in real time — before the booking is confirmed.
Does any other salon software have this?
Real-time contraindication screening at booking is a LightDay world-first — we're not aware of any mainstream competitor offering it as a core feature.
Where does the screening data come from?
From the client's record: custom indicators for allergies and medical conditions, set up by your team and maintained through consent forms and consultations.
Does it replace professional judgement?
No — it ensures your professionals have the right information at the right moment. The engine flags risks; your qualified team decides.
