Online booking for nail salons

A booking menu that works like your price list

• Services in groups such as Manicures, Pedicures, Gel and Acrylics, each with a price and how long it takes.
• Prices that vary. Mark a price as a starting price and clients see “$45+” instead of a fixed number.
• A price and length for each technician, for when one tech is faster or charges more for a full set.
• Prep and clean-up time before and after a service, so nobody is booked into the minutes you need to reset the station.
• Paste your menu. Quick add reads a price list the way you already write it (“from $45”, “1 hr 30 min”) and turns it into services you can check and save.

Walk-ins and a busy front desk

• Add a walk-in straight onto the calendar.
• See the day or the week across every technician. Each tech can sign in and see their own column; owners see everything.
• When a time is full, clients can join the waitlist. When someone cancels, waiting clients are emailed a link to book it.
• Print the day for the front desk.

Fewer empty chairs

• Every client gets a confirmation email with a private link to reschedule or cancel online, up to the cutoff you set.
• A reminder email goes out before the appointment, a day ahead by default (you can choose 2 hours to a week).
• Your late-cancellation and no-show fees are shown before clients book, and they accept your rules to confirm. Fees are collected at the salon; online deposits are coming soon.

Reminders are sent by email. Salon Bell does not send text messages.

A page for your salon

You also get a page at doppler.work/your-salon with your menu, team, hours, photos and a map, and a Book button on every section. Link it from Instagram and Google, or print a counter sign with a QR code clients scan to book. See the sample salon.
