Website for a nail salon
Nails are bought with the eyes. A gallery searchable per technique and a calendar that reserves the right duration save you explanations and the client disappointment.
In short
- Gallery per technique: gel, acrylic, nail art
- Duration that matches what was booked
- Online booking with optional deposit
How it works in this industry
Nail salons lose time to two things: explaining beforehand and cancellations afterwards. Both are solvable with the site. A gallery per technique makes clear what a set costs and how long it takes, and a deposit at booking turns a tentative appointment into a real one.
There is growth in repetition too. Gel needs maintenance after three or four weeks; a message at the right moment fills your calendar without posting anything. That works better than discounts, because the client experiences it as service rather than advertising.
What usually goes wrong
- Clients booking too little time for what they want
- Photos living only on social media
- Last-minute cancellations without consequence

This is what a nail salon usually needs first — not a fixed list. Want something else, Plaincodelab builds that just as well: a webshop, a client portal with logins, a quote calculator, an extra language, a link to the system you already use or an app alongside your site. Describe what you have in mind and PCL will tell you what it costs and what it returns.

Frequently asked questions
Can I ask for a deposit?
Yes. At booking the client pays part up front. That cuts empty slots and protects your planning without scaring clients away.
Can the duration differ per treatment?
Yes. Every technique has its own duration and combinations add up. Nobody is ever booked for fifteen minutes when the work takes an hour.
Does a deposit not scare clients off?
In practice it rarely does, especially for long treatments. Serious clients pay without fuss; those who drop out would otherwise have cost you an empty hour.
Can I keep using my own photos?
Yes, and they are optimised automatically so they stay sharp yet load fast.
