Tersavia for Nail Salons

Nail salons hire and rehire the front desk more often than almost anyone in this category. Every turnover resets whatever tribal knowledge the last person built up — which screen to use for a walk-in, where the deposit setting lives, how to look up a client who only remembers her tech’s first name. If the system takes two weeks to learn, you are paying for two weeks of slower Saturdays every time somebody leaves.
One view, one flow. The person you hired on Tuesday can take a booking on Tuesday.
You are appointment-first: the day is planned, and walk-ins get absorbed into whatever the book leaves open. That is a different problem from running a queue. What you need is to see, instantly, which tech frees up in twelve minutes and whether the woman at the counter fits there — without leaving the calendar or guessing.
Walk-ins and appointments sit in one view, so the answer is on the screen already open.
Card tips have to land with the right tech, and in a shop where clients move between techs and services get shared, that reconciliation is real work. Done on paper it is slow and disputed; done in a spreadsheet it is slow and wrong twice a year.
Tips, payroll, and commission tracking are part of the free platform, calculated from the services actually performed.

Online bookings fill the plan; the front desk drops walk-ins into the openings between them. Confirmations and reminders go out automatically from your own number.
Nail work sells on photographs. Social posting and review management are $99 a month each, month to month, drop either whenever.
Headcount. A nail salon runs more technicians per square foot than almost any other business in this category, and the dominant pricing models in the category charge by bookable calendar or by user — one platform lists roughly $10 a month per additional calendar, which is about standard. Ten techs is ten line items before anyone has filed a nail.
There is no per-tech, per-chair, or per-location charge here, and tip and payroll handling is not a tier you upgrade into.
Which tech a client belongs to. Regulars in this business are loyal to a person, not a shop, and that pairing usually lives in the appointment history rather than in a field anybody exports. Lose it and the front desk starts asking returning clients who they normally see — which is the exact question that makes a regular feel like a stranger.
Appointment history comes across with the tech attached, along with service notes and colour or set preferences. Cards on file are the single exception, for reasons that apply to every platform in this industry.
Yes. The book shows your scheduled appointments and the openings between them, so the front desk can place a walk-in without switching screens or holding a separate list.
Booking, rescheduling, checking a client in, and taking payment all happen in one place rather than across separate modules. There is no tier structure to explain and no feature that lives somewhere unexpected because it was sold as an add-on.
Yes, and both are free. Tips are attributed to the tech who performed the service, and payroll and commission are calculated from the work actually done. There is no per-employee charge.
No. There is no per-tech, per-calendar, or per-location charge for the platform. A ten-station salon costs the same as a two-station one.
Never. We do not run a consumer marketplace, so there is no directory listing the salon next door beside you and no commission on a first visit. The clients you earn are yours.
A fee that looks trivial per technician is the fastest-growing line on a busy salon’s bill, and it sits on top of processing and add-ons that rarely get audited. Here is what the major platforms charge in 2026, and how to check yours against your own statements.
