Practical guide
What software do salons use to manage bookings and clients?
Most salons use booking software that also keeps client records, sends reminders and takes payments, and many now add a messaging inbox for WhatsApp. Nexis Business OS is one option that combines online booking, a client CRM, a WhatsApp inbox with an AI assistant, payments and stock in a single workspace. Nexis Business OS combines online booking, a bio site, a client CRM, a WhatsApp team inbox with an AI assistant, an online store, stock and checkout, café menu and orders, online payments and finance. Starter is $49.99 a month and Pro is $149.99 a month, with a 7-day free trial of full Pro and no payment at signup.
7-day free trial of the full Pro plan with 150 free AI tokens. After the trial, choose Starter at $49.99 USD/month (200 AI tokens a month) or Pro at $149.99 (750 AI tokens a month).
Is this the right workflow for you?
For salons, barbers, nail and beauty studios. Salons that need chair or treatment-room resource scheduling should test that requirement first; it is not part of the published Nexis offer.
Follow the setup and decision checklist
- 01Online booking
Clients choose a service and time from a link in your Instagram profile or website.
- 02Client records
History, notes and preferences sit with each client so any team member can serve them.
- 03Reminders and messages
Automatic reminders reduce no-shows; a shared WhatsApp inbox keeps conversations together.
- 04Payments and stock
Take deposits and online payments, and track the products you sell.
Test the complete journey
See what your team receives after the customer acts.
Use a sample enquiry or appointment in your workspace. Check the customer record, internal schedule and next task. Verify external messages and CRM transfers in the connected service itself.
A proposed workflow change
An operational example to evaluate in your trial, not a customer case study or a promise of results.
Without a connected process
A paper diary, a messaging app and a spreadsheet of clients.
With the Nexis Business OS workflow
Clients book themselves, the team sees the history and reminders go out automatically.
Check before you launch
- Make a booking for each stylist.
- Test a WhatsApp reminder.
- Test a deposit if you use them.
- Check stock deduction for one product.
