Match your desired finish to the right booking tier
Colour, builder gel, extensions, nail art and product removal can involve different preparation and appointment times. Describe the finish you want so you and your technician can agree the scope and how much time to reserve.
Ask how long the technician allows for the base treatment, removal, repairs and design. The tool's time and price fields are editable planning examples, not measured market averages or a quotation from a listed technician. Replace them with the menu or quote you receive.
Existing product, infills and changing technicians
If you already have product on your nails from another salon or technician, choose ‘someone else’ in the tool. Tell the new technician the product name if you know it, and ask whether they accept another technician's work for maintenance.
If the product is unknown, request an assessment before booking an infill or removal. Ask which removal method applies to that exact system, whether extra time is needed, and what the complete appointment costs.
Pricing, duration and extras to confirm upfront
Confirm the complete price before booking your slot. Ask whether it includes French tips, chrome, detailed hand-painted art, nail repairs and any removal of existing product you need.
Ask how long you should allow for the full appointment and clarify the technician’s booking terms, deposit requirements, and cancellation policy. Keep the answer with your booking details.
What to prepare before your appointment
Ask the technician for their preparation instructions, including what to do about any existing product. Do not remove a product yourself simply to match a booking label.
Keep clear reference photos ready and ask whether to leave your existing length before the appointment. Share your preferred length, shape and finish so the technician can agree the scope.
