02
Clients book and pay online

Reminders run automatically. Rebooking prompts keep regulars on schedule. No-shows are a thing of the past.
Common problems for nail salons in London
Phone and DM bookings across multiple technicians create scheduling conflicts
When three technicians each manage their own bookings informally, double-bookings happen, popular slots are missed, and clients get confused about which technician they've booked with.
No-shows leave high chairs empty during peak hours
A Saturday morning no-show at a nail salon is the highest-cost cancellation of the week. Peak demand means that slot should never be empty — and upfront payment ensures it isn't.
Services with very different durations share the same booking slot
Gel polish (45 mins), BIAB infill (90 mins), and acrylic full set (2 hours) all use the same 'appointment' but require completely different amounts of chair time. Without service-specific scheduling, the salon constantly runs over.
Walk-in clients clash with advance bookings unpredictably
A nail salon that takes walk-ins alongside advance bookings needs to balance both streams. Without a live booking page showing what's available, technicians manage walk-in availability manually — which often means turning clients away unnecessarily.
What nail salons in London get with Nextro
Each technician as their own bookable calendar
Each nail technician runs their own Nextro page. Clients choose their preferred technician and see that technician's live availability.
Service-specific durations for every treatment
Gel polish: 45 minutes. BIAB infill: 90 minutes. BIAB full set: 2 hours. Acrylic overlay: 75 minutes. Nail art add-on: 30 minutes. Each service at the correct length.
Upfront card payment for all bookings
Clients pay when they book. Saturday morning peak slots are protected. No-shows become a non-issue.
Walk-in space and online booking in one system
Set aside some availability for online booking and leave the rest for walk-ins. Your booking page shows what's bookable online — walk-ins fill the remaining schedule naturally.
Client rebooking reminders every 3–4 weeks
After each BIAB or gel appointment, a rebooking prompt goes out at week 3 — keeping regular clients on their maintenance cycle.
Credit packs for frequent clients
Sell 4 or 6-visit nail packs at a bundle rate. Loyal clients who pre-purchase their visits are your most reliable chairs.

How much does Nextro cost for nail salons in London?
Nextro is £29/month — a flat fee with no commission per booking. For nail salons in London charging £55–120 per appointment, that works out to well under £1 per booking, with no percentage taken from any transaction.
Can my nail clients in London book and pay online?
Yes. Every Nextro account includes a public booking page with a shareable link. Clients in London can browse services, check real-time availability, and pay by card — without calling or messaging. The link works from Instagram, WhatsApp, Google, or a QR code on your desk.
Will Nextro reduce no-shows at my nail salon in London?
Collecting payment at the point of booking is the most effective way to reduce no-shows. Clients who have already paid are far less likely to cancel without rescheduling. Most nail salons using Nextro in London report a significant drop in no-shows within the first few weeks of switching to upfront payment.
Is Nextro better than Fresha for nail salons in London?
Fresha charges a commission on card payments, which compounds across multiple appointments a day. Nextro is a flat £29/month with no commission — every pound from a booking goes directly to your account, not shared with a platform. For nail salons in London taking £55–120 appointments, the saving adds up.
How long does setup take for a nail salon in London?
Most nail salons are live and taking online bookings within 20 minutes. You add your services and prices, connect your bank account, and share your booking link. No migration or technical knowledge is required.
