Booksmith › For nail salons
Online booking for nail techs
The three-week infill cycle is your revenue engine; Booksmith keeps it turning without a single “hey hun, time for infills?” message. Add-ons extend the slot honestly, deposits kill the Saturday no-show, and nobody takes commission on any of it.
Nail appointments stack: full set, art on four nails, removal first. When that booking no-shows, hours die. Deposits at booking plus reminders the night before turn the worst habit in the industry into a rounding error.
A salon day with Booksmith
The morning agenda shows every appointment with its add-ons and the answers clients gave at booking: current set, art references, allergies. No surprises mid-soak.
Full set plus art plus removal: the extras add price and time, so the diary blocks the true length. Deposit paid, confirmation sent, done during someone else's cure time.
“Same again in three weeks?” becomes a repeating booking on her infill cycle before she's put her rings back on.
Built for the nail desk
Art, length, removal, repairs: each adds its own minutes and money, so a two-hour booking never squeezes into a ninety-minute slot.
Two, three or four-week rebooking cycles hold each regular's slot automatically, with reminders every visit.
Card deposits per service through your own Stripe account. Set them on long appointments and new clients; keep quick repairs free to book.
Current set and condition, art references, allergies: asked at booking, on the appointment when they sit down.
Each tech's own hours, services and clients. Renters can be shown or hidden, and everyone sees their own day.
Your clients come from Instagram and word of mouth already. £75 a month flat, and nobody takes a cut of a single set.
Questions we get
Yes, that's exactly how they work: art might add 30 minutes and £15, removal 20 minutes and £10. The diary and the price both stay honest.
Set deposits per service, and many techs run a “new client full set” service with a higher deposit alongside a regulars' version. Blunt but effective.
The repeat booking carries its own reminders each cycle: day before and hour before, SMS if you want it. Lapsed regulars stop lapsing.
Completely. The booking page is yours and moves with you if you change salons. Your client list stays in your own private database either way.
