Gloa for nail studios
Present your work, services, and current availability on one page. Gloa provides a calendar for each artist, client visit history, and payment terms shown before confirmation.
- Each service given its real space
- Finished work at the centre of your page
- Deposits chosen service by service
THE DAY
The calendar
Set a duration and price for fills, full sets, soak-offs, nail art, and other services. Add-ons reserve their own time within the appointment.
- Each service fits
- A soak-off and detailed nail art reserve the duration you set.
- Extras have a place
- Add the nail art as its own service so its time and price are part of what the client books.
- Every artist in view
- Each professional has her own column while the studio owner can read the whole working day.
- Home studio hours
- Your booking page follows the hours you open, the weekdays you close, and the holidays you take.
- Time between clients
- Block time for cleaning, photographs, or an absence without creating an appointment.
- No duplicate bookings
- Once a client confirms a time, another client cannot reserve it.
ONLINE
Your page

- Close-up galleries and before-and-after pieces
- Your colours, typefaces, hero and sections in a live preview
- A QR code for the counter, mirror or appointment card
- Your existing website pointed to a page carrying your name alone
- Your services, hours and open times shown in search and on the map

THE PLATFORM
What Gloa handles
Gloa connects confirmations, reminders, payment terms, client records, and daily sales. Clients receive communications in French or English.
- Appointment reminders
- The client receives a booking confirmation by email, a reminder the day before, and another a few hours ahead.
- Deposits shown clearly
- Choose a deposit, full payment, or a card kept on file for each service and show the choice before she confirms.
- Missed visits
- After a no-show, you can require a deposit next time without placing a label on the client’s file where she can see it.
- Notes beside the history
- Keep private notes with her visits, services, amounts, and the artist she asks to see.
- Reference photos in messages
- Clients can send reference images in the app and see when their message has been read.
- Sales matched to the artist
- The day’s sales and tips show who performed the service, even when artists share the studio.
YOUR BUSINESS
What stays yours
- Your returning clients
- Import your existing list. Matching contact details identify existing clients. Later bulk imports may require review before exemption from introduction fees is confirmed.
- Your cancellation policy
- The terms shown at booking stay attached to that appointment, and a fee can be kept or waived without changing what she originally accepted.
- Your payments
- Card payments reach your own account on your own schedule, and Gloa never holds your money.
ANSWERS
Common questions
- Can nail art be added to the booking?
- Yes. Set it up as a service with its own duration and price so the client’s appointment holds the full work she chose.
- Can I require a deposit for a full set?
- Yes. Payment terms are chosen service by service and shown before confirmation, so a fill can follow different terms from a full set.
- Does this work for my home studio?
- Yes. Publish the hours you receive clients and close the days you do not, with your services and availability on your own page.
- Can another artist work from my studio?
- Yes. She can have her own calendar, working name, and client conversations without seeing your books.
