6 steps · nothing taken when you book
Nothing here is a surprise on purpose. This is what happens, in order, from the moment you pick a service to the moment you leave with a date.
Pick the service and any add-ons and the calendar adds up the minutes before it looks for a slot. A gel manicure with art on ten nails is not an hour, it is an hour and twenty-five minutes, and you are shown the times that fit that rather than the times that fit an hour.
One e-mail, with the service, the technician, the start time, the length and the price. Confirm or cancel from the link — no login, no account, no app.
Two minutes, and it is the most useful part of a first appointment. It is where we find the product somebody else put on, the nail that has lifted, or the reason your gel has been failing at day nine.
If you have booked a fill and it needs a removal, or a gel manicure and the nail underneath needs a fortnight off, you hear it before we start, with the price difference, and you decide.
At the table or in the chair, for as long as the booking said. Nobody is rushed out of a chair here to fit somebody in, which is what the fifteen-minute gap in the diary is for.
Every service has a cadence: two weeks, three weeks, four. We will offer you the date before you put your coat on, and if you would rather not, the reminder comes by e-mail instead when it is due.
The length is worked out, not assumed. Every service on this site has a length against it, and every add-on adds its own minutes. The calendar adds them up before it looks for a slot, so the time you are offered is a time that actually fits what you asked for.
A picture if you have one in mind, and honesty about what your hands do all day. That is the whole list. You do not need to take anything off first — if you have gel or a set on, leave it and tell us when you book so the removal is in the time.
It is the most useful part of a first appointment and it is where the awkward things get found: product somebody else put on, a nail that has lifted from the bed, or the reason your gel has been failing at day nine every time. You get told what we see, in plain words.
Which happens constantly and is nobody's fault — the vocabulary in this trade is a mess. You hear it before we start, with the price difference, and you decide. Sometimes that means a shorter appointment and money back; occasionally it means rebooking, and then there is nothing to pay.
Every service has a cadence and we will offer you the next date before you put your coat on. If you would rather not decide there and then, say so and the reminder comes by e-mail when it is due instead. That is the whole of the marketing on this site.
Everything here has a cadence. Most services have a cadence — a gel manicure at two to three weeks, a fill at two to three, a pedicure at four. We will offer you the date before you leave, and if you would rather not take one then, the reminder comes by e-mail when it is due.
This booking form is a demonstration. This is a demonstration website. Woodside Nail Studio is not a real business, no appointment booked here is a real appointment, and the telephone number is a placeholder. It was built to show what a small salon gets for a fixed price.
Six tables · three pedicure chairs · a published price for everything
Pick the service and any add-ons and the calendar adds up the minutes before it looks for a slot, so the times you are offered are times that actually fit what you asked for. A pedicure also needs one of the three chairs, and if none is free at four o'clock on a Saturday it will say so rather than book you in and hope.
