Nail salon booking software that books while you're mid-set.
Nail salon booking software for nail techs and studios, from a solo tech to a team of fifteen. Clients book a gel manicure, a full set or a fill with the tech they want, add nail art, pay a deposit by card, and get a reminder before they forget. On your own website, with no app and no login.
- Sets, fills and gel manicures timed right
- Nail art, chrome and removal as add-ons
- Card deposits that come off the bill
Book a full set,
the way your clients will.
Click through it. A client picks the service, the tech and any nail art in about thirty seconds, without creating an account or downloading anything.

Made for how
a nail studio actually runs.
Booking that knows a fill isn't a full set, back-to-back clients need clean-up time, and acrylic clients come back every few weeks.
Sets, fills and pedicures, timed right
A 60-minute gel manicure, a full set of an hour and three quarters or a 75-minute fill, with a buffer after each client for clean-up if you want one.
Nail art and extras as add-ons
Clients add nail art, chrome, French tips or a removal when they book, so the time and price are right before they sit down.
No surprise full sets
Ask your own required questions, like whether they're wearing another salon's product. Approve online bookings first if you want, and change the services at check-in.
Back up your late and cancellation policy
Reminders a day and an hour before, with your arrival rules in the message. Take a % deposit when they book, kept if they cancel late or don't show. Flag a client who no-shows and they must save a card to book again, so the no-show fee is charged to it.
Bring fill clients back on time
Set "come back in 21 days" on a fill. A follow-up list shows who's due, clears itself when they rebook, and recurring bookings every 1 to 12 weeks keep regulars on the book.
Prices per tech, tips per tech
Each tech can have their own price, time and commission for the same service. Tips are tracked per person, and you can sell cuticle oil and other products on the client's invoice.
Plus a client page with notes on each visit, handy for remembering shapes, lengths and colours.

Questions nail techs ask.
Straight answers, including what FreshBookings doesn't do yet.
Is this nail salon booking software good for a solo nail tech?
Yes. It works for one tech or a team of up to fifteen at one location. Clients book on your own website with no app or login, and you get a notification for every booking.
Can I charge different prices for different techs?
Yes. Prices, durations and commission can be set per tech, so a senior nail artist can charge more and take longer for the same service. Clients pick a tech by name or choose "anyone available".
Can clients add nail art or a removal when they book?
Yes. Add-ons like nail art, chrome, French tips or a gel removal are chosen on the booking form, so the appointment is booked for the right time and price.
How do I stop a fill being booked when they need a full set?
Ask your own required questions on the form, such as whether they're wearing another salon's product, and approve online bookings first if you want. At check-in you can swap the fill for a full set.
Can clients upload inspiration photos when they book?
Not yet. You can ask a text question, such as the shape, length and style they want.
Can I take deposits and charge no-shows?
Yes. Clients pay a deposit by card when they book online, a fixed amount or a % of the booking, set once for the studio. It comes off their bill, is refunded automatically if they cancel in time, and you keep it if they cancel late or don't show.
You can also ask flagged clients, or everyone, to save a card. Mark a no-show and the no-show fee is charged to the card, with the deposit counted towards it. Payments go through your own Stripe account, and reminders go out a day and an hour before with your late policy in the message. How deposits and no-show fees work.
Do you have a walk-in queue or a waitlist?
Not yet. You can add a walk-in to the calendar yourself when they arrive, so the time is blocked for online bookings.
Can I remind clients when their fill is due?
Yes. Set "come back in N days" on each service. A follow-up list shows who's due or overdue and clears itself when they rebook. You can also book a regular every 1 to 12 weeks in one go.
Does the AI receptionist answer my phone or Instagram DMs?
No. It's a chat on your website that answers questions about your services, prices, hours and policies, and books appointments the client confirms with a tap. Calls and DMs still come to you.
Do you do gift cards or memberships?
Not yet. Prepaid packages, punch cards, coupons and referral credit work today.
