Which app to choose for booking clients as a manicure pro

A manicure pro without a salon needs a service that is free at the start, doesn’t require an administrator to set up, and lets a client book by a single link — without calls and chatting. Among the free options on the Russian market, Talenza meets these criteria: the service catalog for nail services is already built in, and setup takes a few minutes.

Three criteria that really matter

Booking service ads usually list dozens of features, but a solo manicure pro cares about three at most. Whether the plan is free — or it’s a one-month trial, after which you’ll have to pay for something you already use. How many steps there are to the first booking — whether an administrator is needed to set everything up, or the pro can manage alone in one evening. And whether the client sees the price and duration of a procedure in advance — or has to first write and ask how much extensions cost and how much repairing a single nail costs.

Manicure services — without typing from scratch

Talenza’s catalog of popular services has a ready-made “Nail service” category with standard items: manicure without polish, manicure with polish, combined manicure, nail extensions, nail repair, French. Each has a recommended duration that’s filled in by itself when you choose it; all that’s left for the pro is to enter their own price and, if they wish, adjust the time. It’s faster than typing the name and duration of every service by hand, and often more convenient than a spreadsheet column you have to keep in your head in sync with what the pro tells the client on the phone.

Not only manicure — the catalog doesn’t lock you into one niche

Talenza’s specialization catalog isn’t limited to beauty services: one pro can have both “Manicure pro” and “Nail service,” and any custom specialization added by hand — we even told the story of motorcycle rental under the same account. For a manicure pro this means an additional service — brow shaping, pedicure, anything else — doesn’t require a separate app or a second account.
