Online booking for nail salons and nail studios
Nail work is a rhythm business. The same clients come back every three or four weeks, often to the same technician, and the appointment is almost never a single service — it is a removal plus whatever comes next.
Obano is built for that shape of day: long slots, repeat visits and technicians whose books fill weeks ahead.
7-day free trial. Plans from €9.99/month. Cancel any time before the trial ends.
What nail studios need a calendar to handle
Removal plus a new treatment is one appointment, not two
Soak-off and a new gel set is easily two hours together. Create it as a single service with a realistic duration, so the booking page never squeezes it into a ninety-minute gap.
Regulars on a fixed cycle
A client who comes every three weeks should not have to rebook from scratch each time. Obano can create a repeating series — weekly, every two weeks or monthly — and shows you in advance which occurrences clash with something already booked.
Long appointments make gaps expensive
One unfilled two-hour slot is most of a morning. Reminders reduce quiet no-shows, and a cancelled slot frees up immediately on the booking page so someone else can take it.
Technician-specific books
Clients follow the technician who does their shape and finish. Each technician has their own weekly hours, day overrides and service list, so the times offered are genuinely theirs.
Obano features nail studios use most
Repeating appointments with a conflict preview
Before a series is created, Obano shows every occurrence and flags the ones that fall on blocked time or an existing appointment, so you can skip them instead of double-booking.
Blocked time for breaks and holidays
One-off breaks, full days, multi-day holidays and recurring weekly breaks are all supported, and none of them can be booked over.
Client records with visit history
See who is due back, when they last came in and how to contact them, without searching an inbox.
Booking interval control
Choose whether slots are offered every 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes so the page matches the way you actually run the studio.

Common questions from nail studios
- Can I book an appointment that repeats every three weeks?
- You can create weekly, every-two-weeks or monthly series, and cancel either a single occurrence or this and all future ones.
- How do I stop bookings during a holiday?
- Add blocked time for the dates. Multi-day blocks are supported and are never offered on the booking page.
- Can two technicians work at the same time?
- Yes. Each technician has an independent calendar and availability, and the plan you choose sets how many active professionals you can have.
- Can a client change their own appointment?
- Yes, through the secure link in their confirmation email, within the rules you set.
