Fresha helps thousands of nail salons stay fully booked by streamlining appointments, automating admin, and making it easy for clients to book anytime, anywhere.

Here's how to use Fresha to fill your chairs and grow your shop.

Be bookable 24/7

Many clients browse and book appointments outside of working hours. With Fresha, your salon is always open for bookings via:

• Your marketplace profile on Fresha
• Social media links (Instagram, Facebook, Google)
• A booking button on your website or in your bio

This means more appointments and fewer missed opportunities.

Organise your calendar for maximum flow

Fresha's smart scheduling makes it easy to manage your time and staff:

• Set working hours, breaks, and buffer times
• Assign services to specific team members
• Avoid gaps and double bookings with clear service durations

Bonus: A tidy calendar leads to a smoother day — and more revenue.
