Nail salon software — pricing by design, tech commission, client photos
Ordersys nail salon software: pricing split into base service and add-ons so every technician quotes the same, commission per ticket, photos of each client’s past sets, online booking and automatic reminders.
Pricing by design and add-ons
A gel set is the base price; gems, art, ombre and extensions are separate add-ons. Technicians pick them on screen and the price comes out the same whoever quotes. At month end you know which designs sell and which take effort for little money.
- Base service + add-ons
- Combos and time-of-day pricing
- Best-selling design report
Technician commission per ticket
Every ticket records who did the work and the commission rate by service or by revenue. Two technicians on one client split on the same ticket. Technicians see their earnings daily, not at month end.
- Commission by service or revenue
- Split across technicians
- Transparent statement per tech
Photos of each set and client records
Photograph the finished set and save it to the client record. When the client asks for “the same as last month”, the technician opens it instantly. Polish colour, gel brand and preferred length are noted too.
- Photo per visit
- Colour, brand, notes
- Loyalty points and tiers
Booking, reminders and bringing clients back
Clients book online by technician and free slot. Zalo reminds them before the appointment. Clients absent for 4 weeks are listed for a promotion.
- Booking by technician and chair
- Zalo reminders
- Win-back offers
How nail salon software differs from a generic POS
Nail salons have two things a generic POS cannot handle: prices that are not fixed per item, and technician income tied to every ticket.
Price changes with design and difficulty
Same set, add gems and art, different price. A rigid per-item price list means each technician quotes differently and clients compare between visits. Ordersys separates base and add-ons; technicians just pick, nothing to memorise.
Commission must follow the ticket, not the clock
Nail technicians earn by services done. One wrong ticket is one person’s wrong income. Ordersys records the technician on the ticket at payment; commission is automatic and visible to them.
Clients return for the design, so remember it
Most regulars come back every 3–4 weeks. Remembering their design, colour and preferences is why they choose your salon over the one next door.
A busy salon means waiting on time
Booking by technician and chair shows who is free when, so clients do not arrive and wait. A Zalo reminder an hour before cuts no-shows.
A day at a nail salon running Ordersys
Opening
Today’s schedule per technician: who is booked when, which chair is free for walk-ins.
Client arrives
Regulars: open the record and see last visit’s set. New clients: save the phone number for loyalty. The technician picks the base service, adds extras, and the price is on screen.
Finished
Photograph the set, save to the record. Pay by cash, card or transfer, print a receipt or issue an e-invoice if asked.
Closing
Daily revenue, commission per technician already calculated, best-selling designs. The owner checks on a phone without being in the salon.
New nail salon: software from day one, or wait until busy?
Many new owners think a notebook is fine while it is quiet and they will sort it out when busy. The problem is that when busy, nobody has time to re-enter client records and the price list, and the first months of data — who came back, which designs sold — are gone for good.
Nail salon software is not about “managing” technicians. It is about three daily jobs getting faster: quoting consistently, paying commission without arguments, and remembering regulars. In a two- or three-chair salon those three already take most of the owner’s time by hand.
Ordersys is configured to your salon: your price list, your commission rates, your shift pattern. Free 7-day trial, and our team enters the initial price list so you can use it from opening day.
