Questions from nail salons, answered.
We're busy with walk-ins. Do we need online booking?
Walk-ins still walk in. Online booking adds a second line for clients who want a set time with a set tech, and BookDesk answers them while your hands are busy. You decide which services and hours can be booked online.
Can clients pick their nail tech?
Yes. Each tech has their own services, hours and calendar, and clients can choose who they want. There is no staff limit: each tech after the first is $5 a month.
What if the AI can't answer something?
It hands the conversation to you. Every conversation sits in one inbox, you get flagged when a person is needed, and you can reply yourself at any point.
Can my clients text me?
Yes. Texting is part of your plan: 500 texts a month are included, plus 200 for each extra bookable unit. You register your business with the carriers to get your own texting number, and it goes live once they approve it. Until then BookDesk answers website chat, plus Messenger once you connect your Facebook Page, and sends email confirmations and reminders.
How much does it cost? Is there a contract?
Building and previewing your site is free, with no credit card. Your first month is free, with everything included and up to 100 texts. A card is needed before texting turns on. After that the plan is $19 a month at launch pricing, with every feature, plus $5 a month for each extra bookable unit. The plan is month to month with no contract, and BookDesk charges no per-booking fees.
