Online booking for beauty specialists and nail technicians

Why online booking fits beauty and nails perfectly

As a beauty specialist or nail technician you work on tight time blocks. A gel manicure takes a different slot than a full acrylic set, and a 30-minute facial is nothing like a 90-minute hydra-facial. Online booking only works well when clients reserve the right duration straight away — otherwise your day falls apart.

With Boeked each treatment has its own duration. When a client picks "Gel manicure + pedicure", the system locks the correct block in your calendar. No more puzzling, no more overlap.

1. Split your menu clearly

Make your treatment list specific:

  • Basic manicure (30 min)
  • Gel manicure (60 min)
  • New acrylic set (120 min)
  • Acrylic refill (75 min)
  • Pedicure (45 min)

The more precise you are, the fewer surprises. Clients choose more deliberately and you always have the time you need.

2. Add buffers between appointments

Don't only book the treatment time — include cleaning, sanitising and a small overflow. A 5–10 minute buffer keeps your whole day on track. Boeked lets you set this per service.

3. Ask for a deposit on long treatments

For treatments of one hour or more a deposit is smart. It filters out no-shows and serious clients don't mind. €10–20 is enough friction.

4. Send automatic reminders

Reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment cut no-shows dramatically. Clients appreciate it and you don't lift a finger.

5. Show your work

Online bookings often start on Instagram or your website. Link your gallery to the booking page so clients can click: "I want those ombré nails too" → pick treatment → pick a slot → confirmed.

How to start

  1. Add your treatments one by one in Boeked, with realistic durations.
  2. Set your working days and breaks.
  3. Drop the booking link in your Instagram bio, Google Business profile and website.
  4. Test it yourself — book like a client would.

The result

Fewer "can I come Friday around 3?" messages, more time for your clients and a calendar that's always right. Clients book outside business hours — evenings on the couch — and you're no longer interrupted mid-treatment.
