We'll get in touch to schedule a time that fits between your appointments. It's a half-hour session, with no obligation, and tailored to your studio.
Booking appointments between two clients.
A client who wants to book her next appointment on Saturday night doesn't have to wait until you have time to call her back. She chooses her treatment, her regular nail technician, and a time slot that's actually available—and you'll see it in your calendar on Monday.
- Each treatment has its own duration, ranging from a 20-minute touch-up to a complete new set.
- Customers choose their favorite nail technician themselves, so you don't have to reschedule anyone.
- If a spot opens up, it will be immediately visible to anyone who wants to act quickly—even around the holidays.
- After booking, a confirmation and a reminder are sent automatically, which helps reduce the number of no-shows.
- Treatment Gel Polish · New Set 60 minutes, as you’ve set them
- Nail Technician At Céline Her go-to choice, every three weeks
- Free Time Wed 2:00 PM Thu 6:15 PM Sat 10:30 a.m.
- Confirmation Sent to the customer With a reminder one day in advance
You had already gone home. The appointment was still scheduled for the next morning.
Example
Short appointments, regular customers, busy holidays.
Nail salons operate with short, frequent appointments and many regular customers who want to keep coming back to the same nail technician. The schedule fills up quickly, especially around the holidays—and at the same time, last-minute cancellations create openings.
Many short sessions in a single day
A new set, a follow-up, a repair: your schedule is filled with lots of short appointments. Calling, taking notes, and calling back every time takes more time than the treatment itself.
Everyone wants to go to the same stylist
Regular clients come for your expertise, not for the first available time slot. If your booking system doesn't take that into account, you'll keep having to reschedule appointments.
Busy weeks, and then a lull
In December and during wedding season, your schedule is packed. If someone cancels, that time slot stays empty because no one knows it became available.
You remember what your customer chose last time
What style, what length, what color, and how long it lasted: you know all of that by heart for your most loyal customers. Until there are too many to remember.
What Optios Does for Your Nail Salon.
A fast booking process for short appointments, automatic reminders to prevent no-shows, and a loyalty card that tracks each customer’s style preferences. Point-of-sale, inventory, and marketing are all integrated into the same system, with regular updates and a team that answers when you call.
Customers make their own reservations in just a few steps
Even in the evenings and on weekends. Your client chooses her treatment and her stylist, and can immediately see which time slots are actually available.
Online bookingOne planner per nail technician
Each employee has her own column and her own hours. Short appointments can be scheduled alongside longer ones without having to reschedule your day.
Digital agendaA loyalty card with style preferences
The shape, length, color, and what you used last time are all noted in the client's file. Your colleague can also see this information before the treatment begins.
Customer ManagementA cash register that processes payments quickly
A treatment, nail art, a care product, or a multi-visit pass—all in one bill. Your numbers will stay accurate for your bookkeeping.
POS systemSupply of gels, colors, and tips
Sales and inventory go hand in hand, so you can reorder in time and avoid running out of your best-selling color during a busy week.
Inventory managementFewer no-shows, more full hours
Automatic confirmations and reminders for every appointment, and last-minute openings for any spots that become available.
Fewer no-showsYour customer doesn't have to explain it again.
Regular customers come back every three to four weeks, with the same preferences each time. Optios keeps track of each customer’s preferred style, length, and color, what you used, and how long it lasted—so you can pick up right where you left off last time.
Style Preferences
Shape, length, and color customized for each customer
You enter it once, and it appears on every subsequent appointment. This is handy when a client asks for "the same as last time" and that was four weeks ago.
History
What you used, and how it worked out
Treatments, products, and notes are saved for each client. This way, you can also see why you should choose a different build for this client.
- See at a glance when the previous set was placed
- Each time, write down what you used and what caught your attention
- A new coworker is also picking it up correctly
Cards and Rhythm
Season Passes and Regular Customers
You sell a punch card at the register, and Optios keeps track of how many punches are left. You can see that right away at checkout.
By the time of the next appointment, your colleague will know exactly what to expect.
