Booking software for solo nail techs
For a solo nail tech, good booking software takes bookings while you are busy with a client and costs a flat fee instead of a cut of every booking. CutieCure Salon's Basic plan is made for one person: a booking link clients use without an account, a calendar you run from your phone, client notes and history, and no-show tracking. There is no commission on bookings.
In short
- Run everything from the CutieCure Salon app on iOS or Android, or from any browser.
- Bookings arrive as pending, so you decide who gets your time.
- Grow into a team later: the Pro plan covers up to 5 team members.
- The Basic plan for one team member costs $29.99 a month, with a 14-day free trial and no card needed.
What a solo nail tech gets
A booking link for your Instagram bio
Clients pick a service and a free slot and book with a name and phone number. No more booking by DM.
Your calendar on your phone
Confirm or decline bookings between clients from the CutieCure Salon app. Unconfirmed bookings can cancel themselves after the time you choose.
Working hours you control
Clients only see free slots inside your working hours, and two clients cannot take the same time.
Client notes and history
Allergies, favourite shapes and shades in the client profile, next to past and upcoming visits.
No-show tracking
Mark missed appointments, see your no-show rate, and block clients who keep missing appointments from booking online.
WhatsApp reminders
Clients get WhatsApp reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before the visit and can confirm or cancel with one tap, so a cancelled slot comes back to your calendar early.
Services and packages
List services with duration and price, and bundle them into packages that show clients the saving.
AI try-on for your clients
With the website widget or the CutieCure Book app, clients can try a design on a photo of their own hand before the visit. Basic includes 5 AI credits a month.
Who it is for
- Solo nail techs working from a studio, a salon suite or a home salon.
- Nail techs who take bookings through Instagram DMs or text messages today and want to stop the back and forth.
- Nail techs who plan to add a second technician later.
Who it is not for
- You need card payments or deposits at booking: CutieCure Salon has no built-in payments.
- You want a marketplace to send you new clients: the CutieCure Book app audience is still small.
- You need SMS reminders: reminders go out on WhatsApp and through the CutieCure Book app, not by SMS.

Questions
What is the best booking software for a solo nail tech?
It depends on where your clients come from. If most find you on Instagram or by referral, a flat-fee tool with no booking commission, such as CutieCure Salon's Basic plan, usually costs less. If you want a marketplace to bring new clients, Booksy or Fresha can do that but charge fees on some of those clients. Our comparison of nail salon software lists their prices and fees.
Can I start alone and add a technician later?
Yes. Basic covers one team member, Pro up to 5 and Enterprise has no limit. You change plans from the subscription page in the dashboard.
Do I need a website?
No. Your booking link works as your booking page. If you have a website, the widget adds booking to it.
Can clients book while I am working?
Yes. Online booking is open around the clock inside your working hours. Bookings wait as pending until you confirm them.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 14 days without a card, with Pro features and 5 AI credits.
