Booking software for nail salons
Your own booking page, built around how a nail salon actually runs: services of very different lengths, techs with their own regulars, and a day that fills in awkward gaps.
No card, no trial countdown. You only pay in months you pass 100 bookings.
Built for the parts other tools get wrong
A removal is not a gel set
Thirty minutes for a removal, an hour for a gel manicure. Each service books at its own length, so your day fills correctly instead of in guessed one-hour blocks.
Your techs have their own regulars
Guests choose the tech they want and see who is genuinely free at that time. Nobody is offered someone who is already mid-set.
Short services fill the gaps
A thirty-minute removal drops into the gap a long appointment leaves behind, because the calendar knows exactly how long everything takes. No mental arithmetic at the desk.
A Tuesday at a nail salon
Three techs, a day built out of thirty- and forty-five- and sixty-minute pieces, and a booking book ruled into hours. Nothing here is unusual either. The arithmetic is where it goes wrong.
- 10:30Gel manicure60 min฿500
First in, and that tech is unavailable for the whole hour — not “about an hour”, not “until she’s finished”.
- 11:30Gel removal30 min฿150
Half an hour, landing exactly in the space the gel set left behind. That only works if whoever took the booking knew the space was thirty minutes wide rather than “sometime before lunch”.
- 12:00A message on LINE
“Can I come at 2 today?” The real answer depends on which tech, which service, and whether she means a plain manicure or the gel set she had last time. Three replies later, 2pm has gone to somebody standing at the counter.
- 13:00Pedicure60 min฿400
An hour, straight after lunch — and the tech doing it is the same tech the 13:30 guest was told to ask for.
- 14:00A removal and a new set, one guest
Two services back to back: an hour and a half of one tech’s day. Written in the book as “gel”, it looks like an hour, and the 15:00 guest sits and waits for the other thirty minutes.
- 15:30Manicure45 min฿300
Forty-five minutes. Not an hour, not half an hour. In a book ruled into hours it either eats the next slot or throws fifteen minutes away, every single time.
- 17:30The gap nobody sold
There was a clear half hour at 16:30. Nobody outside the salon could see it, so it stayed empty — and it will be empty again next Tuesday.
Where an hour-shaped book gives out
A nail salon’s day is not made of hours. It is made of thirties, forty-fives, sixties and the occasional ninety, and the moment those get rounded up to the nearest hour you are either giving away time you could have sold or promising times you cannot keep.
The other half is that the person who knows all of it has her hands on somebody’s nails. Every “can I come at 2?” costs a tech her concentration, and answering it an hour later usually costs the booking as well.
The same day with a booking page
Every service books at its own length, so a thirty-minute removal drops into a thirty-minute gap and a forty-five-minute manicure takes forty-five minutes of one tech’s day. Guests pick the tech they want and only see the times that tech is genuinely free. Start times step every 15, 30 or 60 minutes, whichever you choose — so the half hour at 16:30 becomes something a guest can actually book at 9pm, without anybody putting down a brush.
Your service list, ready in one tap
- Manicure45 min฿300
- Pedicure60 min฿400
- Gel manicure60 min฿500
- Gel removal30 min฿150
These land as ordinary services you can rename, re-price or delete. The lengths matter more than the prices — they are what your calendar books against.
Everything else works the same
One link to share, customers who book without an account, messages that send themselves, and a calendar nobody can double-book — that part is the same whatever kind of shop you run.
See how it worksQuestions nail salon owners ask
- A guest wants a removal and a new set. Can she book both at once?
- One booking is one service today, so make the pair a service of its own — “Gel removal + gel set”, ninety minutes, priced at what you charge for the two together. It then books as the ninety minutes it really takes, and she sees the length and the total before she confirms. Add as many combinations as you actually sell.
- Can guests choose their own tech?
- Yes. They pick a time first, then see your whole team with anyone already busy at that time greyed out — so nobody can book a tech who is mid-set. A guest with no preference taps “no preference” and you assign whoever is free.
- Can I show photos of my work?
- Yes — up to five photos in the slideshow at the top of your page, and up to fifteen more in the gallery below it. For a nail salon that is usually what decides it: a guest books the set she can see.
- My appointments are not an hour apart.
- Start times step every 15, 30 or 60 minutes, whichever you set. Free times are worked out from your opening hours, your breaks and what each tech is already booked into — so a forty-five-minute service is only offered where forty-five minutes genuinely exist.
- I have regulars who come every three weeks. Can I set that up once?
- Not as a repeating booking — that does not exist yet, and saying otherwise would only lose somebody’s appointment. What you can do is add each visit yourself from the calendar in a few taps, with just a name; it holds the tech and the time exactly like an online booking does. How far ahead the page lets guests book is your setting, from seven days up to ninety.
