Nail Salon Booking System: Technician Columns, Real Gel Times and Deposits

A nail salon booking system has to know that a full set of acrylics, a gel infill and a soak-off are not the same length, and that two clients can never sit with one technician. Describe your menu and team to Mythex and it builds online booking with a column per technician, add-ons that extend the slot, deposits for long appointments and a one-tap rebook.

Who it's for

Nail salons and nail bars taking bookings through Instagram messages, phone calls and a shared paper diary, where technicians get double-booked and long sets overrun into the next client.

What you can build

A booking page where clients pick a service, add-ons and a technician
Durations for new sets, infills, gel manicures, pedicures and removals
Breaks blocked in each technician's column
Deposits on full sets and long nail art appointments
A rebook prompt for the next infill in two to four weeks
A day view for the desk with each technician's clients

Get the service times right

Most double-booking is really wrong durations. List every service with the time your technicians actually take: new acrylic set, acrylic infill, BIAB, gel manicure, gel pedicure, and removal with and without a new set. Add-ons like hand-painted art, chrome or a soak-off from another salon extend the slot. When the durations are honest, the calendar stops lying.

Separate times for new sets and infills
Removal as an add-on that adds time
Different times per technician if needed

One column per technician

Regulars follow a technician, not a salon. Give each one their own column, working days and breaks, and let clients choose a name or 'anyone'. Part-time weekend technicians only appear on their days. Breaks are blocked in the system, because on a busy Saturday a gap never appears by itself.

Deposits and no-shows

A no-show on a two-hour full set with art is two hours of lost income on a Friday. Ask for a deposit on long services only, taken through a payment provider you connect, and deducted at the desk. State the lateness and cancellation rules on the booking page and in the confirmation, so the rule is agreed before anyone arrives.

Deposits on chosen services only
Cancellation window in the confirmation
No-shows tracked per client

Rebook before they leave

Gel and extension clients need an infill in two to four weeks anyway. Ask for a rebook button on the desk view that offers the same technician and service at the usual interval. It is the simplest way to keep the diary full and regulars loyal.

A prompt to start from

Build a booking system for my nail salon. Clients choose a service such as gel manicure, BIAB infill, acrylic full set or pedicure, add-ons like nail art or removal that extend the time, and a technician or anyone. Each technician has their own column, days and breaks. Take a deposit on full sets, send a confirmation email, and add a desk view with a rebook-in-3-weeks button.

Questions

Can clients book without messaging us?

Yes. They open your booking link, choose the service, add-ons and technician, and pick a free time. Put the link in your Instagram bio and reply to messages with it.

Will it stop two clients being booked with one technician?

Yes. Each technician has their own column, and a time is offered only if the whole service length is free in it.

Can I take a deposit?

Yes, through a payment provider you connect with your own account. You choose which services need one.

Can clients get reminders?

Yes, by email through a service you connect, or by text through an SMS service on your own account.

Is it free, and do I need to code?

You can build and publish on the Free plan with no card, and no coding is needed. Pro is $25 a month and adds a custom domain, code editing and export.
