Fills, full sets, the Saturday 2pm that three people wanted — a no-show costs the whole slot. Here the deposit is paid before the appointment exists, your late and reschedule rules are agreed to in writing, and a disputed charge meets a one-tap evidence packet. Free to start.
Nail books run on volume — tight slots, repeat clients. Three ghosts a month at a $55 set is $165 of empty table, every month, from people who "forgot." A $20 hold collected at booking doesn't punish anyone; it just means forgetting isn't free anymore.
Fifteen minutes late into a 75-minute slot backs up everyone after. Your policy — grace window, reschedule cutoff, what happens to the deposit — is shown before they pay and their agreement is recorded. Enforcing it later means pointing at something they read, not arguing in the DMs.
In Phorest's analysis of 5,000+ salons, 50% of clients charged for a no-show returned, versus 37% of those who weren't charged (Salon Today). Clear rules read as professionalism.
$10–$25 holds the slot — your amount per service, paid while they're still holding their card. The page asks so you don't have to.
Deposit terms, reschedule window, late rules — shown before payment, agreed to, recorded with a timestamp.
Your work front and center, ten looks to match your brand — a page that looks like your feed, with a book button.
Disputed deposit? One tap prints the policy they agreed to, when they agreed, and the IP the booking came from.
Booking texts follow consent rules — each client opts in with their own number, so your sender reputation stays clean.
Deposit up front, a payment link for the rest — card on their phone, receipt in their inbox, no reader needed.
Honest framing: we won't pretend deposits end no-shows. They turn an empty table from a total loss into a paid hold — collected before the appointment existed, with the policy and the evidence to keep it.
It won't send you clients — there's no marketplace, no feed, no profile ranked next to the tech across town. If discovery is what you need right now, a marketplace's new-client fees are the honest price of being found; we've written up that math for Booksy, Fresha, and StyleSeat, including where they win. This is for the tech whose book fills from Instagram and regulars — where the only thing missing is the deposit and the policy doing their jobs.
Yes — small deposits are where the math works best. Three ghosts a month at a $55 set is $165 of empty table; a $20 hold keeps $60 of it with you, before the appointment ever existed. Regulars don't blink. The flaky stop booking.
Yes — shown before they pay, agreement recorded with a timestamp. Enforcement stops being an argument and starts being a receipt.
