Allow time for removal
A new colour over bare nails and removal plus a new set need different booking choices. Explain the difference before checkout.
Online booking software for nail salons
A polish change, a fresh set of extensions and a removal appointment need different amounts of time. Make those choices clear before clients arrive, and keep each technician’s bookings together in one calendar.
A booking day that works for your business

From the first click to a confirmed booking
Choose the right booking
A client returning with an existing gel set chooses the removal-and-colour option. Your description explains what is included and when to contact the salon about extensions, repairs or a more detailed design.
Find a suitable time
The selected option sets the time required, while technician availability determines the slots offered. Staff can review the appointment before the client arrives and clarify any service changes directly.
Review the booking details
The client reviews the selected service or space, date, time and price, then provides their contact details. Clear descriptions help them arrive knowing what they have booked and which location to visit.
Complete the booking and payment
When online payments are enabled, collect the deposit or full amount required by your booking settings. Your team can also handle payment from the calendar, including a payment link for a client who is arranging the visit with you.
Plan a diary with room for detailed work
A technician may have a short colour appointment, a removal and a longer nail-art visit in the same day. Distinct service names help reception understand why those appointments occupy different lengths of time.
Keep returning clients’ previous bookings available when arranging another appointment. At checkout, clients can pay with the methods you have configured, including scanning a QR code on their own phone.

Make everyday bookings easier to manage
Allow time for detailed work
Give a simple manicure and a detailed extension service different appointment lengths. Your service menu can offer distinct pricing options instead of squeezing every visit into the same slot.
View feature: Allow time for detailed workBook with the right nail technician
Assign the services each technician offers, such as extensions or pedicures. Clients choose a team member who provides their selected service when booking online.
View feature: Book with the right nail technicianKeep previous visits within reach
Review a returning client’s booking history and preferences before their appointment. Keep their contact details together so your team can arrange the next visit with context.
View feature: Keep previous visits within reachGive clients a convenient way to pay
Bring payment into the same workflow as the booking. Choose how you collect money for your services or space hire, and explain the payment arrangements before the client commits.
Deposits and online checkout
Let clients pay a deposit or the full booking amount through your online booking portal. State what the payment covers so clients understand the amount they are paying before their visit.
Card payments at reception
Use a supported Stripe Terminal smart reader to collect an in-person card payment for a booking. Reader availability depends on your country and Stripe setup; see the device guide before buying hardware.
QR codes, SMS and email links
Show a payment QR code for the client to scan, or send the payment link by SMS or email. The client opens checkout on their own device, making it useful both at reception and when arranging payment before arrival.
Set up a booking page that reflects your business
Start with the bookings you handle most often. A clear menu and realistic availability help clients make the right choice and give your team a consistent place to manage requests.
- Describe removal, extensions and art clearly in the relevant service options.
- Assign each treatment to the technicians who perform it and set practical durations.
- Explain how clients should ask about a design that does not fit the standard menu.
Review and share your booking page
Review the client-facing names, descriptions, location, available times and payment settings. Share the booking link from your website and customer communications, and keep the details up to date as your offering changes.
Booking questions, answered
Can I list removal separately from a new set?
Yes. Create a removal service with its own duration and price. You can also offer a clearly named removal-and-new-set service, with enough time allocated for both parts.
Does this work for an independent nail technician?
Yes. Set up your own profile and service menu, then share your booking link. You can add other technicians and assign their services as your business grows.
How do I explain whether removal is included?
Put that detail in the service name and description. Separate options for colour only and removal with colour help clients choose the appropriate duration and understand the price.
Can I offer both manicure and pedicure bookings?
Yes. Create the services you provide with their own durations and prices. If you offer a combined visit, describe it clearly and reserve enough time for everything included.
Can I keep my existing website?
Yes. Share your WebbyBooky booking portal link from your existing website so clients can choose a service, provider and available time. Keep your business information on your website and use the portal for the booking journey.
Can clients pay online or at the appointment?
With payments configured, you can collect a deposit or full payment online and take booking payments through the calendar. In-person options include supported Stripe Terminal readers and a QR payment page; links can also be sent by SMS or email. Available options depend on your payment setup.
Make your next booking easier to manage
Build your service or space menu, set your availability, and give clients a clear way to book. Start with your everyday workflow and expand as your business grows.
