Software Made for Nail Studios and Nail Bars

Scheduling for varied nail services

A basic manicure, a full set of gel extensions and a pedicure with nail art all take very different amounts of chair time. SoftBela's calendar lets you assign distinct durations to each service, so a technician booked for a 90-minute full set is not squeezed by a 30-minute polish change scheduled right after. The public online booking page shows clients only the time slots that fit their chosen service, reducing the back-and-forth of rescheduling when a client picks a service that needs more time than what was left open. No-show tracking flags clients who repeatedly cancel gel appointments last minute.

• Custom durations per nail service
• Public booking page matched to service length
• No-show tracking per client
• Day, week and month calendar views

Checkout built for services plus retail polish

Nail studios often sell take-home polish, cuticle oil or nail art add-ons alongside the main service. SoftBela's point of sale rings up the manicure, any add-on and retail items on one ticket, then records the payment method used, whether cash, card, bank transfer, mobile money or a split between two methods. Stock for retail polish and gel colours reduces automatically with each sale, so your shelf count stays accurate without a manual end-of-week inventory check. A4 invoices are available for clients who request a formal receipt for their purchase.

• Services and retail on one ticket
• Cash, card, bank transfer, mobile money
• Automatic stock deduction on sale
• A4 invoices on request

Keeping gel and polish shades in stock

Running out of a popular gel shade or acrylic powder mid-appointment is a common frustration in nail studios, especially during wedding season or holiday rushes when demand for certain colours spikes. SoftBela's inventory module tracks every colour, gel and tool by supplier, with stock movement history showing exactly when and how much was used. Low-stock alerts warn you before a shade runs out completely, giving time to reorder. Because retail sales and in-service usage both pass through the same system, your counts reflect actual consumption, not just what was rung up at the counter.

Technician pay and client history in one place

Nail technicians are often paid commission per service, and studios need an easy way to see who completed which treatment. SoftBela links every appointment and sale to the technician who performed it, so commission reports build themselves from real activity. The customer CRM stores notes per client, useful for tracking allergy warnings, preferred shades or nail shape preferences that change how a technician approaches the next visit. Staff schedules and roles are managed alongside commission rates, so scheduling and payroll data stay in sync as technicians' hours change week to week.

• Commission linked to completed services
• Client notes for shade and allergy preferences
• Staff roles and schedules in one module

Reports for a seasonal, detail-heavy business

Nail studios see seasonal spikes around holidays, weddings and prom season, and owners need to know which services and technicians are driving those spikes. SoftBela's reports show revenue by service, technician and time period, helping identify whether gel extensions or basic manicures make up most of a busy month. Profitability reports weigh revenue against expenses like gel and polish restocking costs. Studios with more than one location can compare performance across branches from the same dashboard, and the audit log records any changes to pricing or schedules for accountability.
