The best booking app for your nail salon

Yes. The core booking system is genuinely free, with no limits on bookings, customers or services and no monthly fee. There is no trial that quietly expires and no credit card needed to start. The only paid extras are optional add-ons with a real cost, such as SMS reminders or a custom domain, and you can ignore them completely if you don’t need them. Many nail salons run everything they need on the free plan indefinitely, and only pay if they choose an add-on that genuinely helps their business grow.

Yes. If your salon has more than one technician, each has their own schedule and services. When booking, a client can pick the specific person they want — say the technician who always does their gel infills — and the page shows only that person’s real availability. Clients who don’t mind can leave it open, and the system assigns them automatically. You keep a clear, separate calendar for every technician, so nobody is ever double booked and each person’s day reflects exactly what they have coming in.

Yes, and it is one of the most useful features for a nail salon. Every service has its own length, so a 45-minute classic manicure, a 90-minute BIAB set and a 120-minute set of acrylics are all timed correctly. The booking page only offers start times that leave enough room, which means appointments never overlap and your day stays realistic. You set each duration once when you create the service, and from then on the calendar protects the right amount of time on every single booking automatically.

Yes. A client can combine treatments in a single appointment — for example a gel removal followed by a fresh BIAB set, or a manicure and pedicure together. The system adds the durations together so the right total time is reserved, and the price reflects everything they have chosen. This keeps your calendar accurate and prevents the classic problem of a “quick” appointment quietly turning into a much longer one, because the booking already accounts for every service before the client even arrives.

Yes. Each service can include preparation time before the appointment and cleanup time after it, built in invisibly. Your station gets reset and tools sanitised without eating into the next client’s slot, and the customer never sees these buffers when they book. It is especially useful for treatments like acrylics or detailed nail art that need drying time or extra care. Set the buffer once per service and the calendar spaces every booking correctly, keeping your day calm and professional instead of a constant rush between clients.

Yes. You can mark holidays, days off and one-off closures in advance, and those dates simply disappear from the online booking page so no one can reserve them. Recurring blocks — a weekly day off, a regular lunch break, or set hours you don’t work — are configured once and repeat automatically. This protects your personal time without any manual effort and avoids the awkward situation of having to cancel on a client because someone booked a day you were never actually available.

Yes. Clients can cancel or reschedule through the confirmation they receive, within any rules you set. When a slot is freed up it instantly becomes available again for someone else to book, so a cancellation the night before does not have to mean an empty chair the next day. This self-service flexibility saves you the back-and-forth of rearranging appointments by phone or message, and because the calendar is always live, your availability is accurate for the next client the moment anything changes.

Yes. Your booking page has its own link that you can add to any website as a button or menu item, so visitors go straight from your site to booking in one tap. You can also add it to your Instagram bio, Facebook page, Google Business Profile and even a printed QR code for your salon window. If you don’t have a website at all, that is fine too — the hosted booking page works perfectly on its own, and many nail salons use it as their only online booking presence.

Yes, and this matters because most clients book from their phones. The booking page is fully mobile-friendly and loads in seconds on any device, with nothing to install. Your side is mobile too: you can manage your calendar, check appointment details and add walk-in bookings from your own phone between clients. Whether you are at the salon, working from home or travelling to a mobile appointment, your whole schedule stays in your pocket and updates in real time as new bookings come in.

Yes. The system is built for teams as well as solo technicians. Each person gets their own working hours, service menu and calendar, clients can choose who they’d like, and a manager can see the entire salon at a glance. Individual lunch breaks, holidays and part-time patterns are all handled per technician, so the schedule reflects how your salon actually runs. On your busiest days, that clarity is the difference between a smooth, well-planned floor and a chaotic one where bookings clash.

Yes. Regular clients who come on a fixed rhythm — say every three or four weeks for a gel infill — can be rebooked quickly so their favourite slot is held in advance. Keeping loyal regulars on a repeating schedule is one of the simplest ways to keep your chairs full and your income predictable, and it saves both you and the client from rebooking from scratch every time. Their history and preferences stay attached, so each recurring visit feels as personal as the first.

Yes. You can view your calendar on any device and see your whole day, week or a single technician at a glance, and if you prefer a paper copy at the desk you can print any view straight from your browser. Most salons find they no longer need paper once everything lives in one live calendar, but the option is there. Remember that a printout is only a snapshot — your online schedule updates in real time, so it is always the most accurate view of what is actually booked.

Most nail salons are ready to take bookings in well under an hour. A short guided interview walks you through your services, their durations and prices, and your opening hours, and then your booking page is live and shareable. There is no lengthy manual and no technical knowledge required — if you can fill in a form, you can set up your booking page. You can always refine services, add technicians or adjust hours later, so there is no need to get everything perfect before you accept your first appointment.

Yes. Client details are stored securely and are only visible to you and your team — never shared or sold. Each customer’s contact information, notes and appointment history stays private to your salon, which helps you stay professional and build trust. You keep a clean, organised record of your clients in one place instead of scattered across phones, notebooks and social media messages. That makes day-to-day work easier and means sensitive details like phone numbers and preferences are handled responsibly rather than lost in a chat thread.

Yes, and for many nail salons this is where most bookings come from. You place your booking link in your Instagram bio and on your Facebook page, and clients tap straight through to choose a service and time — no direct messages required. You can add it to your Google Business Profile too, so people who find you on Google Maps can book on the spot. It turns the followers admiring your work into confirmed appointments, and takes the endless stream of “are you free?” messages off your plate.
