A booking system for nail salons and nail techs
Nail appointments are long, popular on Fridays and Saturdays, and easy to forget. That makes them expensive to lose. A booking system built for how a nail studio actually runs pays for itself with the first prevented no-show.
Your own booking page for £35 a month. No commission. Free trial, no card needed.

- Base services (gel, acrylic, BIAB, manicure, pedicure) with true durations.
- Add-ons (removal, nail art, French, chrome) that extend the slot automatically.
- Prices shown up front so the client books the right thing.
Deposits on the slots you cannot afford to lose
A £10 deposit on Saturday and on anything over 90 minutes removes most casual cancellations. Clients who book with a card almost always turn up.
Reminders and rebooking
SMS the day before and a "book your next infill" message two to three weeks after the appointment keep the diary full without you chasing.
Intake and consent
Allergies, nail conditions, pregnancy and treatment consent can be collected on a short form before the first visit and stored in the client record.
Multiple techs, one page
Clients pick their tech or "anyone available". Each tech sees their own diary; the owner sees everyone's.
Frequently asked questions
Can I charge different prices per nail tech?
Yes. Prices and durations can be set per service and per staff member.
Does BookBook take a cut of my bookings?
No. It is a fixed £35 a month for one profile, £12 for each extra tech. There is no commission.
