Our partner salon

Built and tested live at Lotus & Vernis.

Lotus & Vernis is a popular nail salon in Trois-Rivières and our official partner. Its owners and technicians use our software with real clients, and their feedback reaches us live. Every feature is shaped there, and tested on a busy Saturday, before it reaches your salon.

How a feature gets built

  1. Used at Lotus & Vernis
    Technicians and owners work with it every day.
  2. Feedback, live
    What works and what slows them down comes straight to us.
  3. We improve it
    Changes are made with the salon, not guessed.
  4. Ready for your salon
    Only once it holds up on a busy day.
Color wall

Tap a color to turn it on or off.

Online booking, start to finish.

Clients choose a service, their technician, add-ons and a color, then a time that really fits. Add-ons adjust the price and length on their own.

Your flow, your way. Your salon defines the booking flow: choose the steps clients go through, put them in your order, and skip the ones you don't need.

Availability accounts for each technician's pace and cleanup time, so the day never gets overbooked.
Client membership

Clients who keep coming back.

Your clients get their own space: they earn points with every visit and keep track of their appointments. It's free for them, and one more reason to come back.

Free for clients

A monthly subscription: clients come in for their nails whenever they want, for one monthly price set by your salon.

Team

Punch in, punch out, fair turns.

Technicians punch in when they arrive and out when they leave, right on the salon's tablet. Hours are ready for payroll, and walk-ins are shared fairly.

  • Punch in and out in one tap
  • Worked hours ready for payroll
  • Walk-ins go to whoever's turn it is
Turns for walk-ins

When a client walks in, the app shows whose turn it is. Technicians love it: everyone gets their fair share of clients, and of tips.
