For nail salons

Your nail salon's own booking app, with your name on it.

MeetScarlet is a nail salon booking app published under your salon's own name. Clients pick their nail tech, see photos of each service, pay a deposit on a long set and see their next fill offered, all in your app. Our team builds it and puts it in the App Store and Google Play for $349 a month.

What your clients do in the app

Your clients download an app with your name on it from the App Store or Google Play, or open it on the web. In it they can:

  • Book a manicure, a pedicure or a full set with a chosen nail tech
  • See photos of each service before they book
  • Answer your questions when they book, such as allergies or whether they have gel or acrylics to take off first
  • Add a tip when they pay
  • Tap Book again after a visit to see open times with the same nail tech a few weeks out
  • Pay by card and keep a card on file
  • See upcoming bookings and cancel or reschedule inside your rules
  • Book from a link without an account, in their own language: the guest booking page comes in 32 languages

Made for how nail salons work

Deposits for long sets

Ask for a deposit or full payment when someone books a full set or nail art that fills an hour or more of your tech's day. You choose per service, and you can switch on a no-show fee charged to the saved card when your team marks a no-show.

Rebook prompts for fills

After a visit the app offers times on the same weekday a set number of weeks later, with the same nail tech when they are free. You set the interval per service, so a fill can come up two or three weeks after a set.

Photos and questions on every service

Add up to six photos to a service, so clients see your work before they book. Add up to 20 questions to a service, in eight field types from short text to yes or no, so your tech knows what is coming before the client sits down.

Tips, memberships and gift cards

Clients can tip when they pay. Sell a monthly membership, packs of visits and gift cards, and clients see what they have left in the app.

Approval when you want it

Send some services to request-only booking, so your team approves first. Set cancel and reschedule windows and block out dates.

What we set up for you

For a nail salon we set up every service with its own length, price and photos, from a gel manicure to a full set, assign each nail tech the services they do, add your questions to the services that need them, choose which services take a deposit, and set how many weeks after a visit the app offers the next one.

We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export and do the App Store and Google Play submission work in your own developer accounts. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.

When MeetScarlet is not the right fit

  • Nail salons that want new clients from a marketplace app. Your app shows only your salon, so new clients find you through your own marketing.
  • A solo nail tech who only needs a booking link. A simple scheduling tool costs less.
