Booking system for nail salons in Uruguay
Bookza replies to your clients, books each service at its real length and reminds them when the fill is due. You keep the e-file in your hand.
Uruguay's nail scene splits in two: street-front salons in Montevideo and techs working out of a spare room at home, kitted out with a lamp and an e-file. Either way the real catalogue is Instagram, where a client sees a gel set or a full sculpted set and slides into the DMs asking whether you have space. Fills every two or three weeks hold the schedule together, except over summer, when half the client list heads to the coast and comes back in March needing a soak-off first.
- Your whole design catalogue lives in an Instagram feed, so every new post fills the DMs with "how much?" and "anything free Saturday?" instead of producing actual bookings.
- Working from home means nobody can wait outside on the pavement, so an appointment that runs ten minutes long forces you to message the next client mid-service.
Removing another salon's set takes twice as long, and clients book it as if it were a plain gel polish.
Fills come due every three weeks, and if you do not message the client yourself she lets it slide and comes back with lifting.
With a client's hand under the lamp you cannot pick up the phone, and every unanswered message is a booking that goes somewhere else.
Built for your industry
Every service at its real length
A removal plus a fresh set does not take the same chair time as gel polish on natural nails. Set the duration and price once and your day stops running short or full of dead gaps.
Fills stop slipping away
The automatic WhatsApp reminder lands before the appointment and cuts no-shows by up to 60%. Fewer empty stations waiting on someone who never said anything.
You know what you did last time
The client history keeps the service, the colour and the nail art from each visit. No starting over with questions or digging through photos on your phone.
A schedule per station and per tech
If there are two or three of you, each has her own hours and her own services. Clients pick who they book with and two appointments never land on the same station.
Everything you can book
Bookza works nationwide. These are some of the areas with the highest density of service businesses: Montevideo, Punta del Este, Salto, Maldonado, Ciudad de la Costa.
Your clients pay you the way they always have: bank transfer, Mercado Pago, debit card, cash.
“I used to underestimate removals and run late all day. Now each service takes the time it actually needs, and clients turn up already reminded.”
Frequently asked questions
- I move to the coast for the summer season. Can I change my hours and address without losing my Montevideo client list?
- Yes. You adjust your working hours for that period and the address clients see when they book, and nothing else changes. Your Montevideo clients book through the same link once you are back, and each client's history stays intact: service, colour and nail art from the last visit.
- Can I charge separately for removing work done at another salon?
- Yes. You set it up as its own service with its own price and duration, and the client adds it when she books. The extra chair time is blocked in advance instead of wrecking the rest of your day.
- How do I handle clients who come back every three weeks for a fill?
- You can book the next appointment right when the current one ends, and the automatic reminder handles the rest. If she would rather confirm closer to the date, the AI agent answers on WhatsApp and offers the open slots.
- Does it work if I run a nail studio on my own?
- Yes, and that is where it shows most. A full set keeps you at the desk for two hours: the agent replies, books and confirms while you keep working.
- Does Bookza work with Uruguayan mobile numbers?
- Yes. The agent replies and sends reminders to any Uruguayan number (+598) over WhatsApp, the channel your clients already message you on.
- How is the subscription paid from Uruguay?
- The subscription is billed in US dollars and paid by card from the dashboard, with no paperwork and no contract. You start with a 7-day free trial and no card required.
