Nail salon booking software for techs, walk-ins and long sets

Free nail salon booking software: what the Free plan covers

Twizzlo Free is $0 a month and free forever, not a trial. It covers the booking page, tech calendars, the client CRM, staff scheduling, insights and online payments with tips for up to 150 bookings a month, with email reminders and no SMS. It suits a solo tech or a salon that is just opening: start free and upgrade only when you need to.

Looking for a free nail booking website? Your Twizzlo booking page already is one: your services, prices, techs and open times on a single link you can share anywhere, on the Free plan.

Free nail salon booking software has two limits to plan around: it stops at 150 bookings a month and sends no SMS. When your salon books more than that, or you want SMS reminders, Business Pro removes the cap and adds SMS at one flat price per salon. See plans and payment charges.

Nail salon online booking clients can use from any phone

Most nail clients book from their phone, often straight from an Instagram post. Twizzlo's nail salon online booking page runs in the browser, so there is no app to download. Clients pick a service and a tech, see open times and book in a few taps.

It is not nail salon computer software tied to one front-desk PC either. The same online appointments software runs on the desk computer, a tech's phone and the owner's tablet, all in the browser.

Confirmations and reminders go out by email, and by SMS on Business Pro. Clients can reschedule themselves from the booking link, which cuts down the "can I move to Thursday?" messages.

A booking system for nail salons that also takes walk-ins

Walk-ins are part of nail salon life, and a nail salon booking system has to handle the clients who never booked. Twizzlo supports walk-in bookings, so the front desk adds a walk-in to a tech's calendar and that time comes off the online booking page at once. Online clients and walk-ins share one calendar, so nobody gets double-booked.

Next-hour insights and staff availability show who has room right now, which helps the desk place a walk-in without guessing.

Nail salon appointment software that protects long sets

A no-show on a two-hour set of extensions is an afternoon of lost income, so nail salon appointment software has to protect the long bookings first. Turn on prepaid bookings for full sets and other long services: the client pays the full service price through Stripe when they book, so the slot is only held once it is paid. Cancellation handling, custom booking rules and no-show fees support the policy you set, and if a client does not show, you decide whether to keep or refund the payment.

Clients can add a tip when they pay online, and staff can record manual payments for anything paid at the salon.

Allergies, shapes and shades on every client profile

Record the shape, length and shade a regular likes, or a reaction to a product, and any tech can see it before the appointment. Every client profile holds:

• Allergies, noted where every tech will see them
• Notes and preferences, such as shape, length and shade
• Visit history, so the next tech knows what was done last time
• Total spend, including tips
• Contact details

Nail salon booking app or marketplace: what new clients cost

Nail salons and techs often compare booking apps that double as marketplaces. A marketplace can send new clients, but it usually charges for them. Fresha charges 20% (minimum $6) on new clients who find you through its marketplace (read Jul 13, 2026), and Booksy's optional Boost charges 30% of a qualifying new client's first visit (read Sep 17, 2026). Independent techs can compare what each app charges per new client in our guide to the best booking app for nail techs.

Twizzlo is not a marketplace. It works as a nail salon scheduling app in any browser for the clients you bring in through Instagram, Google and referrals: you get your own booking page and link, and you keep the relationship. For a tech with a following, that can be the cheaper route. See Twizzlo vs Fresha and Twizzlo vs Booksy for the full fee breakdowns.
