Everything you need to run your nail technician business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Service menus that match real nail work

Set up treatments like BIAB, gel overlays, acrylic full sets, infills, soak-offs, repairs, and nail art add-ons with the right timings, buffers, and prep time — so clients can’t accidentally book a “quick” slot for a long service.

Deposit-first booking to protect your diary

Take a deposit at the point of booking for longer services like full sets and detailed art. It sets expectations early, reduces time-wasters, and means you’re not relying on awkward payment chats after someone doesn’t show.

Automatic reminders that cut “I forgot” messages

Send confirmations and reminders with appointment time, address, parking notes, and what to arrive with (e.g., no oils, bring inspo pics). Fewer last-minute panics, fewer late arrivals, and less back-and-forth in DMs.

Smart timing for infills, removals, and fixes

Build rules for common time traps: add extra minutes for soak-offs, include a clean-down buffer between clients, and offer repair slots without wrecking your full set availability. Your day stays realistic, not optimistic.

Location and access notes for home salons & chair rent

Share clear directions, entry instructions, and parking guidance automatically. Perfect if you’re in a home studio, a shared salon, or moving between locations — clients arrive ready, not ringing you from outside mid-appointment.

Client history for colours, shapes, and preferences

Keep notes like last set date, brand/colour used, shape, length, sensitivities, and what they usually book. When they come back for infills, you’re not guessing — and you can recommend the right service upgrade confidently.

The challenges every nail technician faces

Mixed service lengths that don’t fit neat time slots

A gel polish on natural nails is not the same as a full acrylic set with detailed nail art. When clients book by message, they often say “infills” but mean a soak-off, new set, and design. One wrong duration can knock your whole day out.

No-shows and late cancellations that cost real money

A missed two-hour set isn’t just an empty chair — it’s lost product, lost time, and a gap you can’t always fill. Without deposits and clear cancellation rules, you’re stuck chasing payments or awkwardly rebooking repeat offenders.

Overruns from removals, repairs, and problem nails

Lifting, broken corners, thick product needing extra filing, or a removal that takes longer than expected can push you behind. When you’re running late, the next client arrives early, the waiting area gets tense, and your finish quality suffers.

Juggling home salon rules and client expectations

If you work from home or rent a chair, you’ve got building access, parking, children/pets, and strict timings to consider. Clients still expect instant replies and evening slots. Without a clear booking process, you spend your evenings managing messages instead of resting.

Built for real nail technician workflows

A typical day starts with checking the diary and setting up your station: clean-down, tools out, files and bits ready, and a quick look at what’s coming in. If it’s a mix of gel manicures, BIAB infills, and one acrylic set, you need the timings to be right or you’ll be playing catch-up all afternoon. The reality is clients message at all hours. While you’re filing or painting, you can’t stop to a...

Add your nail services with the right timings

2

Set deposits, cancellation rules, and add-ons

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our nail technician booking system.

Try it free
How does the system handle urgent “can you fit me in today?” nail bookings?

You can keep a couple of short slots free each day for repairs, a single nail fix, or a quick gel refresh. When you open those slots, clients can book instantly without waiting for you to reply to messages. It’s a practical way to take last-minute work without wrecking your full set timings.

What nail services can I set up for online booking?

You can add the treatments you actually offer: gel manicure, BIAB, acrylic full set, hard gel, infills, pedicure, soak-off/removal, repairs, and nail art. Each service can have its own duration and price. You can also include add-ons like French, chrome, gems, or extra art time.

When do clients pay — deposit, full amount, or after the appointment?

Most nail techs take a deposit at booking for longer services and then take the balance on the day. You can set different rules for different treatments, so a quick gel manicure might not need a deposit, but a two-hour acrylic set does. This keeps your diary protected without putting off regulars.

Does it help with December and summer rush periods?

Yes — those are the times when DMs get out of hand and you end up missing bookings. Online booking lets clients secure evenings and weekends without waiting for a reply, and reminders reduce no-shows when people are busy with parties and travel. You can also limit how far ahead people can book if you prefer to keep flexibility.

Can multiple nail techs or chairs use the same system?

If you’ve got more than one tech, you can manage separate diaries so clients book the right person. It’s also handy for salons where different techs offer different services (for example, one focuses on acrylics and another on natural nails). You avoid two people being booked for the same station at the same time.

How does it improve quote-to-booking for nail art and custom sets?

When clients ask for nail art, the problem is usually vague requests and unclear pricing. You can offer structured add-ons (basic art, detailed art, French, chrome) so the price and time are clear before they book. That stops the endless messaging and turns “how much?” chats into confirmed appointments.

Can I automate client messages without sounding robotic?

You can send clear, friendly confirmations and reminders with your own wording, including prep notes like “please arrive with bare nails if booked for a full set” or “message inspo pictures 24 hours before.” It reduces repetitive questions while keeping your tone. Clients still feel looked after, but you’re not typing the same messages all day.

Can I set different prices for infills, removals, and nail repairs?

Yes — and you should, because they take different time and effort. You can price infills separately from a full set, add a soak-off fee, and offer single nail repairs as a short appointment. It means clients choose the right service and you’re not stuck undercharging for extra work.

Why iBookFast for your nail technician business?

Nail work is detail work, and your diary needs the same level of precision. A nail salon (or home-based nail tech) isn’t booking “30 minutes” or “an hour” — you’re booking a specific service with a specific workflow: prep, removal (sometimes), shaping, product application, curing, finishing, photos, and clean-down. When bookings come through Instagram or WhatsApp, clients rarely describe what they...
