Nail salons — Automation for nail salons
Every tech is mid-set when the phone rings, walk-ins wait with no list, and clients forget when their fill is due. These are the parts software can take over, with the manager and techs still deciding set design, allergy questions, complaints and any deposit or refund. 31 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for nail salons.
