What changes when you run nail bars on Mahi Time

Online bookings, 24/7

Clients book gel and acrylic sets through your Instagram bio, Google Business Profile or website button. You stay heads-down on the hands in front of you.

Deposits on long sets

A full acrylic set ties up a station for two hours. Take a deposit at booking time so a no-show does not cost you the slot.

Durations that match reality

A soak-off plus a fresh gel set is not a quick polish change. Per-service durations keep the calendar honest and the day on time.

Infill rebooking nudges

An automatic SMS goes out at the 2 to 3 week mark asking if the client wants their usual slot for an infill.

Station + tech scheduling

Book by nail tech or by station. Each tech gets their own hours, service list and skill flags.

Made in Aotearoa

NZD pricing, NZ phone format, GST-ready reports, hosted locally in Australia and New Zealand, support answered in NZ business hours.

Questions nail bars owners ask

Can I take a deposit on acrylic full sets but not quick polishes?

Yes. Deposits are set per service, as a flat amount or a percentage. Put a deposit on the long sets and leave it off the express services.

Can clients book a specific nail tech?

Yes. Clients pick the service first, then a specific tech or "next available". Skill flags control who shows up for which service.

Does it handle soak-off as a separate service?

Yes. Add soak-off as its own service with its own duration and price, or bundle it into a set as an add-on the client picks at booking.

How much for a 3-tech nail bar?

NZ$109/month flat covers the first 2 techs. The third is a flat NZ$21/month. No commission on any booking, ever.
