Calendar mistakes happen when everyone answers at once.
In a salon with multiple nail techs, one unclear reply can leave one table empty and another one double-booked.
Messages arrive while you are mid-service
Fast replies are great, but speed alone is not enough. Every booking still needs service, time, and nail tech clearly confirmed.
Team members can end up with different notes
One appointment stays in chat, another in paper notes, another in memory. That is where overlap starts.
Appointments fall through without deposit rules
If there is no clear hold step, clients say "I'm on my way" and never show up.
How it works for your nail salon
Set your services, durations, and team once. From there, your assistant keeps each conversation and booking in order.
- 01
Client asks on WhatsApp or your booking page
They can reach out any time. Your assistant answers with real openings that are actually available.
- 02
Assistant offers time and requests deposit
It shows options by nail tech, confirms the service, and sends clear hold instructions.
- 03
You review and your team keeps working
You approve the payment screenshot in one tap and the booking is locked for everyone on the calendar.
What a real nail salon booking app should handle
Built for small and mid-size salons with full days, last-minute changes, and multiple tech schedules.
Calendar by nail tech and table
Each tech has their own availability and breaks, while you still see one clean full-day view.
Service durations that match reality
Basic manicure, gel, pedicure, removal, or design: each service gets the right duration to avoid delays.
Deposit rule by service
Choose which appointments require advance payment and set your own rule.
Clear reschedule windows
Decide how late a client can move an appointment without confusion in chat.
Reminder messages before each visit
Clients get confirmation and reminder messages before their slot.
Waitlist for same-day openings
If a table opens up, your assistant can notify clients who asked for that time.
Payments with methods you already use
Zelle, transfer, card link, or cash. Money goes straight to your account.
Shared day view for the whole team
Everyone sees the same booking status in one place, instead of scattered screenshots.

Questions from nail salon owners and managers
Do clients have to download an app?
No. They can book from WhatsApp or your booking page with no download.
Can I manage several nail tech schedules?
Yes. Each tech keeps their own availability and you still get one shared calendar for the salon.
Can I require a deposit to hold appointments?
Yes. You choose which services need it and set your own amount and timing rule.
How do we avoid overlap?
Your assistant only offers open times by service and tech, and each confirmation is saved in one place.
How do I receive payments?
With your current payment methods. Wawnia does not hold your money.
How much does it cost?
There is a free plan with every feature. Paid plans scale with users and bookings.
