Your service menu does more than list treatments — it shapes how clients book, spend, and experience your nail salon. A clear, well-structured menu helps boost bookings, increase average spend, and simplify your day-to-day schedule.

With Fresha, you can create a beautiful, smart service menu that reflects your brand and works hard behind the scenes. Here's how to make your nail salon service list shine.

Use clear, appealing service names

Most clients book on mobile, so make it easy to scan and choose. Use concise names with brief descriptions that highlight value.

Examples:

  • Gel manicure – Long-lasting polish with glossy finish
  • BIAB overlay – Strengthen and protect natural nails
  • Luxury pedi – Full foot treatment with exfoliation and massage

Group your services with intent

Organise your menu by treatment type or client needs:

  • Manicures – classic, gel, BIAB
  • Pedicures – express, spa, luxury
  • Nail art – basic designs, advanced custom art
  • Add-ons – French tips, nail repair, hand massage

This helps clients browse faster — and encourages them to add extras.

Create bundles to boost average spend

Offer packages that combine popular treatments to drive value:

  • Gel manicure + luxury pedicure
  • BIAB overlay + nail art
  • Classic mani + express pedi

Use pricing to show savings and highlight premium experiences.

Set accurate durations

Avoid overbooking or gaps by assigning realistic times for each service.

  • Add buffer time between bookings
  • Assign staff members to each service
  • Keep your day flowing smoothly

Review and refresh regularly

Client preferences shift and new trends pop up. Use Fresha's reports to:

  • Spot top-performing treatments
  • Retire underused services
  • Test new offerings and monitor results

Updating your menu keeps it relevant — and profitable.

Your service list is one of your strongest sales tools. With Fresha, you can create a clear, polished menu that's easy for clients to book from — and optimised to grow your business.
