Booking software for nail salons — 24/7 online bookings
A gel fill-in is not the right moment to answer the phone. Nail techs work with their hands in the material, and every interruption costs precision and minutes. GlowBook lets your clients book 24/7 on their own, automatically sends a rebook reminder for their next fill-in in 2-3 weeks, and keeps your hands on the work.
Why GlowBook works for your salon
Online bookings while you're working
Clients pick between gel, acrylic, manicure, nail art or repair — each service with its own duration and price. Share your booking link on Instagram, in the salon, in your WhatsApp status. Incoming bookings land directly in your calendar.
Rebook reminders at the right time
Gel lasts 2-3 weeks, acrylic a bit longer. GlowBook sends a per-service rebook reminder exactly when your client is likely to want a refill. No manual follow-up, no clients drifting to the studio next door because you didn't reach out.
A booking page that matches your aesthetic
A nail artist is a visual brand. Your booking page takes your colours, your welcome message and — more importantly — a clean UI with no GlowBook branding distracting your clients. Clients will assume you hired a developer.
What it looks like in practice
Luna runs her nail studio from home. While she's laying down an acrylic set, a booking drops in via her Instagram link: classic gel manicure, Wednesday 14:00. Her phone buzzes once, she reads during a break. That same afternoon, a client from last month gets an automated WhatsApp: 'Hey, it's been 3 weeks — ready for a fill-in?'. Within an hour the booking is in the calendar.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set up different services with different durations?+
In your dashboard, create one treatment per service: 'Gel full set' (90 min), 'Gel refill' (60 min), 'Acrylic repair' (30 min), and so on. GlowBook respects each duration when calculating available slots.
Can I build in buffer time between appointments?+
Yes, in settings you set a buffer (e.g. 15 minutes) between every appointment. Time to tidy up, grab a coffee, or just breathe.
What if someone needs extra time for nail art?+
For detailed nail art, create a dedicated treatment with a longer duration (e.g. 'Nail art + gel set', 150 min). Or add an optional intake form where clients can describe or upload a photo of the desired design.
