Made for the shops that make a neighborhood — sixty kinds and counting

Booking that lives everywhere

A booking link you can tuck into any corner of the internet.

Paste your Nook into an Instagram bio, an email signature, or your Google profile. Clients pick a time in seconds — with your services, your stylists’ real schedules, and buffer time already handled.

  • QuickFill waitlist — a cancellation opens a slot, and the next person in line gets a text with a one-tap claim link.
  • Two-way calendar sync with Google and Apple, so double-booking simply can’t happen.
  • Your words — chairs and stylists for salons, trainers for gyms, bays and techs for the garage.
  • Your own domain — book.yourshop.com, certificate included.

The interactive lobby

Your real number. One warm, shared inbox.

Port your landline or pick a local number, then text and call from it anywhere. Every message, note, and “sorry we missed you” lives in one thread your whole team can see.

  • Missed-call text-back — unanswered calls get an instant, friendly text with your booking link.
  • Client memory — color formulas, pressure preferences, drink orders. The little things, remembered.
  • Unlimited conversational texting. No caps, no rationing your regulars.
  • Every automatic text and email is yours to edit — confirmations, reminders, review asks — with a live preview and a “text me a test” button.
  • Logins for the whole crew, including a co-manager seat for a spouse or business partner.

The growth & cash engine

Marketing help and money in, without the busywork.

Type a promo in plain words and Nook drafts the vertical video script, captions, and hashtags — then publishes to your socials. Happy clients get a gentle nudge to leave a 5-star review.

  • Text-to-Pay — send a secure payment link by text; get paid before the blow-dry is done.
  • No-show protection with card-on-file for the services you choose.
  • Review booster — a friendly text an hour after every appointment.

Leave the clinical stuff to the clinics.

The big “office communication platforms” were built for waiting rooms — contracts, setup fees, rented desk phones, message caps. Your shop deserves softer edges.

The questions every owner asks first.

Plain answers, no sales call. The full list is on the FAQ page.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days with every feature on, no card needed to start. Cancel any month after that from your own dashboard.

Can I keep my business number?

Yes. Port your landline or mobile line in for free, or pick a local number in minutes. Texts and calls land in one shared inbox.

Do clients need an app?

No. They book from a link, get ordinary texts and emails, and pay through a secure link. Your team uses any browser on the devices you already own.

Can my spouse or partner have full access?

Yes — a co-manager seat does everything the owner can except billing, the payout account and closing the business.

Is texting clients legal?

Done properly, yes — and Nook does it properly: opt-in at booking, quiet hours, instant STOP/START, and carrier registration so your texts aren't filtered as spam.

Who owns my client data?

You do, always. Export clients, appointments and payments as CSV any time. Leave whenever you like and take everything with you.
