A nail booking appthat knows a full set takes longer than a fill.
Clients pick the service, see only the openings you can honestly take, and book in three taps from your Instagram bio. You keep the client list and pay nothing on a new name.
No credit card. No commission on bookings.
The essentials
What you actually get
- 01
Real times per service
Gel manicure sixty, full acrylic set one hundred and twenty, soak off and fill ninety. Each service carries its own duration and buffer, so a full set never lands in a thirty minute gap.
- 02
A book for every tech
Each tech keeps their own hours and service list. Clients pick their regular tech or Anyone available, and only genuine openings appear.
- 03
Built for the Instagram bio
One short link at your own Smart Slug. Mobile first booking, your logo and colors, no app for the client to install.
- 04
Ask before they arrive
Add custom questions to the booking form: inspo photo link, current set, removal needed. The answers sit on the appointment.
- 05
Confirmations and reminders
An email the moment they book and a reminder before the appointment, both on a queue so booking never stalls waiting on a send.
- 06
No double booked chair
The booking endpoint is transactional and rate limited, so two clients tapping the same Saturday slot cannot both win it.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Is there a free nail salon booking app?+
Yes. The Free Beta plan covers a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders with no card required. Paid plans add extra staff seats and multiple locations.
Can I set different times for acrylics and a simple manicure?+
Yes, and you should. Every service has its own duration and its own buffer, so the calendar reflects how long the work actually takes rather than a flat slot length.
Does it work for a solo nail tech?+
Yes. A solo tech runs one calendar with their own hours. If you later add a second tech, you add a staff member and the client picker appears on your page.
Do clients need to download anything?+
No. Your booking page is a web page. Clients tap the link in your bio, pick a service and a time, and get a confirmation email.
Can each staff member have different working hours?+
Yes. Every staff member has their own hours and service list, and business hours support multiple windows a day so lunch breaks and split shifts are respected. Availability is calculated per person.
How do you prevent double bookings?+
The public booking endpoint is transactional and rate limited. It validates the full service duration against staff hours, existing appointments and capacity in a single call, so two clients hitting the same slot cannot both win.
Can I take deposits or payments through the booking page?+
Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.
Do you send SMS reminders?+
Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.
