Avana is booking software for foot health practitioners and pedicurists in the UK. Clients book routine foot care online without an account, phone bookings go into the same calendar, and Avana takes no commission on any appointment.
Clients who can book themselves do not need to call. They pick a free time in a few taps, without an account or a password, and you keep working.
When a regular calls anyway, you put them in the same calendar yourself. Online booking is there for those who like it and never in the way of those who do not.
One monthly price and no percentage on any appointment. From a quick nail cut to a long appointment, the full price of each visit stays with you.
Your booking page shows your treatments, prices and free times. The client picks a day and a time, fills in their name and phone number, and that is it.
When a client calls, open your calendar on your phone and add the appointment between the ones booked online. There is only one calendar, so nothing ever gets booked twice.
After the appointment the client pays in your clinic, by card or cash, just as now. Only for a longer appointment can you ask for a deposit when they book, and that is your call too.
Appointments booked weeks ahead are easy to forget, especially for older clients. A confirmation goes out straight after booking and a reminder the day before, by email and, if you like, by text.
Most feet need looking after every six to eight weeks, and that is where your income comes from. The client books the next visit before getting up from the chair, or you do it for them, and your client records show what to keep an eye on: thin skin, a corn that keeps coming back, nails that need care.
Some clients cannot get to you, so you go to them. Set up a home visit as its own service with enough time for the drive, and it sits in the same calendar without squeezing the appointments around it.
Avana gives foot care practitioners online booking, reminders by email or text, deposits and AI replies to Instagram messages. Turn on two of them together and your calendar fills weeks in advance without you phoning round in the evening.
Avana Connect and deposits
A client's daughter asks on Instagram whether there is room on Saturday, and the AI replies with your price and free times. A time is picked, the deposit is paid, and in the morning it is in your calendar.
Avana ConnectYour booking page and reminders
Online bookings get a confirmation at once and a reminder by email or text the day before. If the client cannot come after all, they move the appointment themselves and the time is free for somebody else.

Avana is booking software for the foot health practitioner or pedicurist working alone, and it works for clients who book online as well as those who still pick up the phone. Clients book in a few taps on your own page without an account, and you add callers to the same calendar yourself. Every treatment has its own length and price, reminders go out by email or text, and your client records keep the notes that matter for each person. No commission comes off your treatments, and it costs £15.99 a month, VAT included.
Avana costs £15.99 a month, VAT included. That covers your booking page, calendar, client records with notes, online payments and email reminders. There is no commission on your treatments and you can cancel any month. Text reminders are bought separately in packs, from £4.99.
Yes, with Avana clients book a pedicure or foot care appointment without an account or password: they choose a day and time, enter their name and phone number, and they are done. If a regular would rather call, you open the calendar on your phone and add the appointment yourself, between the online bookings, so nothing is ever booked twice. That client gets the same confirmation and reminder as anyone who booked online.
Yes, Avana sends a confirmation by email straight after booking and a reminder the day before with the time and your address, including for appointments you added for a caller. You can add your own words, such as asking them to wear comfortable shoes. For clients who do not read email, the reminder can go by text as well, with packs from £4.99.
Yes, Avana lets you decide per treatment whether a deposit is needed, for example on a longer appointment, and leave it off a standard visit. The client pays it when booking and the rest after the appointment. If they cancel too late or do not come, you keep the deposit under your own cancellation policy, though many practitioners find a text reminder the day before already prevents most missed visits.
With Avana, clients pay in your clinic after the appointment, by card or cash, the way your regulars are used to. Online payment is only added if you want it, for example for a deposit, and then they pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Any service fee for paying online is shown in the price from the start, and your own prices do not change.
Yes, in Avana you set up a home visit as its own service with enough time for the travel, and it sits in your calendar next to the appointments at your own premises. Because it has its own length, nothing else gets booked on top of the drive. The client gets the same confirmation and reminder as for any other appointment.
Yes, you can try Avana free for 7 days without card details, and after that you pay month by month with no notice period. That week is enough to set up your treatments and prices and share your link, so you know it works before you pay. Your client data and notes stay yours: if you leave, you take your client list with you, and Avana never sells your clients to anyone.

Avana is pedicure booking software that works for two kinds of client: those who book online and those who would rather call. It is built for the foot health practitioner or pedicurist who works alone: clients book in a few taps without an account, you add callers to the same online calendar, and everyone gets a reminder by email or text the day before. Each treatment has its own length and price, home visits can be a service of their own, and each client's record holds the notes you need. It costs £15.99 a month, VAT included, with no commission on treatments, and you can try it free for 7 days.
If you are looking for pedicure booking software, you probably work alone as a foot health practitioner or pedicurist: a clinic at home or a room of your own, clients you have known for years, and a slightly older client list that likes to call. With Avana you get your own booking page with your treatments, prices and free times. Clients book in a few taps, without an account or a password, and anyone who would rather call goes into the same calendar.
Every service gets its own length and price: nail cutting, hard skin and corns, a full routine foot care appointment, a cosmetic pedicure and a home visit with time for the drive. A short appointment never runs into a long one, and your client records note what to keep an eye on for each person, alongside the visits of past years.
With visits every six to eight weeks, it is easy for a client to lose track. A reminder goes out by itself the day before, by email and, if you want, by text. For longer appointments you can ask for a deposit when booking, switched on per treatment.
If you teach people who are new to the work, you can sell your knowledge as a course through the Avana Academy, with the hands-on day in your usual calendar. Avana costs £15.99 a month, VAT included, with no commission, and you can cancel any month. See what each plan includes on the pricing page.
Set up your treatments with their own times and give clients the link, or leave a card with the QR code on your desk. Callers you add yourself. The first 7 days are free.
