What nail salons run into

Three bottlenecks that actually matter for a nail studio.

Service durations vary widely

A French manicure is 30 minutes, a full set of acrylics is 90 minutes, a gel pedicure is 60. Avana automatically blocks the right time per service. Clients only see slots that fit their chosen service — no 90-minute gap booked for a 30-minute appointment.

Infill appointments don't book themselves

Gel lasts 3-4 weeks before infill. Avana sends an automatic reminder 3 weeks after the last visit, with a direct booking link. Returning clients without active outreach — typical +20-30% rebooking rate.

Reference photos for nail art

Clients arrive with a Pinterest screenshot for inspiration — except they forgot to bring it. Per service you can enable a photo upload at booking. The client uploads their reference at booking, you see it before they walk in.

What you get for your nail salon

Nail salon software that respects how nail studios actually work.

Photo references at booking, automatic infill reminders, the right time per service — built around your daily reality, not a generic salon template.

The right duration per service, automatically

French manicure 30 min, full set acrylics 90 min, gel pedicure 60 min, BIAB 75 min, nail art +30 min add-on. Set once, applied to every booking.

Photo upload for nail-art references

Per service you can enable a photo upload at booking. Clients attach their Pinterest pic at booking — no 10-minute design discussion at the start of the appointment.

Infill reminders 3 weeks after gel

Automatic reminder 3 weeks after the last gel set, with a direct booking link (Team plan). Returning clients without active outreach — typical +20-30% rebooking.

Deposits on long sessions like full sets

A 90-minute acrylic full set blocks half your morning. Set a £15-25 deposit per service. Clients prepay, you keep the deposit on no-show.

Per-technician calendars

Each technician has their own calendar with their services. Clients pick their regular tech or take the first available. Up to 3 techs included on Pro at £39/month.

Walk-in slots that protect your day

Set a daily walk-in quota — keep some slots offline for walk-ins, the rest go online. Walk-ins know when the next free slot is, no 45-minute wait.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Avana for nail salons.

Can I set different durations per service?

Yes. Per service you set the duration: French manicure 30 min, acrylics 90 min, gel pedicure 60 min, BIAB 75 min, nail art +30 min add-on. Clients only see slots that fit their chosen service.

Can clients upload reference photos for nail art?

Yes. Per service you can enable an intake form with photo upload. Clients attach their Pinterest pics or screenshot, you see it in their booking — no 10 minutes of design discussion at the start of the appointment.

Does Avana support multiple stations or technicians?

Yes. Add a calendar per technician or per station. Clients pick who they want to book with, or take the first available. Up to 3 technicians on Pro at £39/mo, each extra technician +£4.95/month.

Can I send infill reminders automatically?

Yes, on the Team plan (£69/mo). Set automatic reminders 3-4 weeks after the last gel or acrylic appointment with a direct link to book again. Nail salons typically see +20-30% rebooking rate from this.

Can I take deposits for long sessions like full sets?

Yes. Per service you set a deposit amount, e.g. £15 for a full set of acrylics. The client pays it at booking. You keep it on no-show.

What do I pay per transaction?

Card payments run at Stripe's standard processing rate: 1.5% + £0.20 in the UK. Avana adds nothing on top. On a £55 payment you receive £53.97. You can see the exact breakdown for every transaction in your dashboard.

What is the booking fee?

When a client books online, a small £1.49 fee applies — the same way a booking fee works on any reservation platform. It's shown to the client at the time of booking and is non-refundable if the client cancels. It does not come out of your service revenue.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial, no credit card required. You can set up your booking page, add your services and test the full calendar before deciding.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly plans, no contract, cancel from your dashboard.
