Introducing JENA

Our Story

Founded in 2023 by Jean-Michel and Nabil, JENA emerged from a vision to transform the lives of independent wellness and beauty professionals.

Having worked for over 10 years with beauty professionals at their previous venture - LeSalon.com - they saw firsthand the challenges faced by talented professionals. Our founders identified a crucial gap: the need for a comprehensive tool to simplify and enhance solopreneurship.

JENA, a holistic platform designed to empower solopreneurs, is that solution. It's more than software—it's a movement towards sustainable, independent business success, integrating everything from booking to marketing in one platform.

Today, JENA is celebrated by hundreds of professionals for changing the way solopreneurs work.

By joining JENA, you're not just managing your business efficiently; you join a community that supports your growth and independence. With us, transform your passion into a thriving, fully-booked business.

I cant thank you enough for your help and support during what has been the most stressful time. I would be lost without my online booking system but the customer service that goes along with it from you both is second to none and I just wanted you both to know how much I appreciate it.

Nailed It By Jo

I'm super impressed with JENA. It’s easy to upload all my own photos and information stuff, which now compliments the look of my Facebook and Instagram accounts. This makes me look more professional, and gives an excellent first impression of my business which is so important to regular and potential clients. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend JENA and give 5 stars.

Matrix Nails

It's fantastic. It basically runs my business for me... I just have to turn up and do the nails! I would definitely recommend JENA. The support I get is so helpful.

Phenominail Studio

As I was getting busier, I was finding it harder to get the time to be messaging my clients backwards and forwards. JENA has freed up my time, and I’m now able to see more clients and make them look beautiful ❤️

Jenna Rogers

Iris Retreat

It took me about 45mins to 1 hour everyday messaging my clients back and forth. JENA has freed up a lot of my time. When I come home, I can spend quality time with my other half and my new puppy. I can now go out without being solely focused on my business.

Why should you take my money for me working? My other system was free, but then you had to top it up, pay for text and new client fee. I always had to top up money in my wallet. With JENA I pay a subscription and it’s all inclusive, no surprises, no hidden fees.
