💅 nailbook Live · Self-host

Appointments, clients, services for independent nail techs + small salons who want their schedule to fit in their back pocket.

Clients with service history + photos of past sets. Techs with per-tech calendar + service specialties. Online booking with service + tech selection + deposit. Per-appointment notes + after photos. Commission tracking if you rent booths. Built for a 1-5 tech salon that doesn't want Booksy's 14%.

What it does

📅

Per-tech calendars

Each tech their own column. Drag to reschedule. Service duration auto-blocks time. Walk-in vs booked color coding. Lunch / break blocks.

👤

Client history

Per client: service history, photos of past sets (they'll want the one from 3 months ago). Nail-shape + length preferences. Allergies (acrylic, specific polishes). Tip history for VIP flag.

📱

Online booking

Public booking page: pick service, tech, time. Stripe deposit on booking for no-show protection. Confirmation SMS + 24h reminder. Reschedule link.

📷

After photos

Tech snaps a photo at end of service + tags to the client record. Building marketing material from your own work + reference library for repeat clients.

💰

Commission tracking

If techs are booth-renters: flat rent or % split. If W-2: hourly + commission. Monthly statement per tech. Payroll-friendly export.

🔒

Salon-owned

Flask + SQLAlchemy. Client photos + phone numbers don't end up in Booksy's CRM when you leave. Runs on a counter tablet.
