Switching from Studiolution to EazyBooking: Stress-Free Data Import

In short: Switching from Studiolution to EazyBooking is a plannable migration in 5 steps — set up in parallel, export data, import, announce to your regulars, flip the switch. Realistically half a working day, with no downtime and no loss of clients.

Studiolution is well established in the German hairdressing and beauty segment. If you want to switch — whether for price, usability, the lack of Apple Calendar sync, or because you want a more modern booking page with your own brand — this article shows the complete path, without losing data or regulars.

You'll find the feature and price comparison on the Studiolution alternative page — here it's about the concrete migration.

The 3 pre-flight checks

1. Contract term + notice period

Check your Studiolution contract for term and notice period. With a running contract, it's best to set up EazyBooking in parallel (14 days free) and switch at the end of the term.

2. What gets carried over

• Client master data (name, contact) — via GDPR export
• Appointment history — via export
• Services + prices — manually re-created (quick)
• Staff profiles + working hours — re-create

3. The moment to flip the switch

Pick a quieter week, not peak season — that gives you a buffer.

The 5 steps

Step 1: Set up EazyBooking in parallel (~1 hour)

Start the trial, add services with description/duration/price, opening hours + team members, connect your own domain (book.your-salon.com). Studiolution keeps running normally.

Step 2: Export data from Studiolution (~30 min)

Request your data export (GDPR Art. 20 — a legal right). You'll get client master data and appointment history as a CSV. If Studiolution limits the export: in parallel, start capturing the email address at every visit from now on.

Step 3: Import into EazyBooking (~1 hour)

Import the CSV into EazyBooking. Client profiles and history are then in the new system — your regulars are in before you flip the switch.

Step 4: Prepare the announcement

Email to your regulars:

"From [date] you'll book even more easily directly with us: book.your-salon.com. We've carried over your data, so there's nothing for you to re-enter."

Prepare the links in your Google Business Profile, Instagram bio and on your website.

Step 5: Flip the switch + cancel Studiolution

New page live, announcement out, all links updated. Only once everything is running do you cancel Studiolution at the end of the term.

What you gain after the switch

Benefit	Detail
Your own brand + domain	book.your-salon.com with your logo instead of software branding
Full Apple Calendar sync	bidirectional for all team members
Native German UI	modern, mobile-optimised
Deposit against no-shows	1–99% configurable per service
Stripe Connect direct cash flow	money straight to your own account
5 staff in the base plan	€59/month, no commission

Will you lose clients? (No, with clean communication)

As with any software switch: 75–85% of regulars switch over within the first 4 weeks if you:

• announce 1–2 weeks ahead
• emphasise the benefit ("easier, direct")
• update all links everywhere (most common mistake: the forgotten Instagram bio)
• keep the old Studiolution booking running briefly with a pointer to the new address

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will I get my data from Studiolution?

Yes, you have a GDPR right (Art. 20, data portability). Studiolution must hand over your client data in a common format. Make the request early.

How long does the migration take?

Half a working day of active work, spread over 2–3 days because of the export wait. The parallel phase can comfortably last longer.

Can I run both systems in parallel?

Yes — recommended. That way you test EazyBooking at your own pace and only switch once everything fits.

Do I have to re-create services manually?

Yes, but it's quick (15–30 min for a typical salon menu). Upside: you can add descriptions, photos and deposit options right away that may have been missing in the old software.

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. Setting up services, connecting a domain and importing the CSV are all doable without coding. Support is included during the trial.

What about my staff working hours?

You set those up fresh — it takes a few minutes per team member, including individual hours and their own calendar sync.
