Built for appointment-only businesses

Nail salons and other appointment-first businesses get their own signup path, a tuned day-one setup, and settings without class-studio noise.

Booking Bible now treats appointment-only businesses as first-class. Nail
salons and massage clinics appear in the signup wizard's venue types, and a
new nail salon starts with the right setup on day one: appointment booking,
walk-in queue, point of sale, treatment notes and technician portfolios on,
class features off, plus a realistic starter menu of services and stations
in your own language — appointments, technicians, stations and packages
instead of classes, instructors and rooms.

If your venue runs appointments only, your Settings home no longer shows
class booking rules, class types, course types or streaming — the
Appointment settings card covers your rules instead. Class and hybrid
venues see no change.

Your public venue site now follows that choice too. Appointment-only venue
links open on Book, class navigation and class indexes stay out of the way,
and the public header, footer and booking messages talk about services and
appointments. Class and hybrid venues keep their existing routes.

Available times now follow the venue timezone through summer time and winter
time, including provider breaks and blocked periods. The provider and price
shown for a slot are also the provider and price checked when the appointment
is created, so a paid provider cannot be reserved through a free quote.

Solo professionals on the Free plan get a real public booking page, so
clients can book you online from day one. The Free plan covers one
provider, five services and twenty-five appointments per week — when you
outgrow it, the new appointment tier is ready.

Working with freelance technicians got simpler too: a collaboration can now
carry one base appointment rate (for example a percentage of everything
they deliver) instead of a rate per service, dated rate periods apply to
appointments exactly as they do to classes, and your check-in page shows
appointments assigned to you at partner venues. Appointment reminder emails
also stopped repeating — each reminder now sends exactly once, and venues
that turned reminders off are respected.

Next update

You choose when clients are notified

Staff actions on a client account no longer email automatically — every action asks which channels to use, and nothing sends unless you choose.
